Viral video: Singapore Train Automatically Blinds Windows Near Residential Blocks
Having trains or subways near your house can be a little problematic for residents. The constant noise added with the idea of loss of privacy is not very comfortable. However, this does not seem to be a problem in Singapore.
Recently, a video of a train with windows turning opaque as it approaches residential buildings went viral on social media. A futuristic-looking train runs in Singapore with the windows automatically darkening to accommodate the rail line’s proximity to residential areas.
The train is Singapore’s Bukit Panjang Light Rail Transit (LRT), also known as Singapore’s first light rail, according to the Land Transport Authority, a Singapore government agency.
“The intelligent fogging glass windows of these trains are well known on the internet and this innovative feature to protect the privacy of residents living near the LRT line has caught the attention of customers,” added the SGTrains (Singapore Trains) website.
The video was shared by Fascinating Footage on Twitter. The video has amassed over 27,000 views since it was shared. “A train in Singapore with windows that automatically blind as it passes residential blocks,” reads the caption.
“You took privacy very seriously,” said one user.

SGTrains also stated: “These trains operate on an exclusive elevated track, free from the obstruction of road and pedestrian traffic. Compared to [Medium Rail Transit] metal-wheeled trains, these APM trains are equipped with rubber tires and are relatively quiet during operation.”
