What else is on the train?
Monkey decals have been added to the train windows and the ceiling. The monkey is the zodiac animal of the upcoming Lunar New Year on 8 Feb.

Besides enjoying the new CNY decorations on the train windows, commuters can also check out their horoscope predictions while on their journey. 2016 forecasts for each zodiac animal have replaced the advertisement panels above the seats.
The people love it!
Online commentators seem quite happy with the new train.

The themed train is a collaboration between LTA, SBS Transit, and the Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng Citizens’ Consultative Committee.
The train is set to run only on the North East line for three weeks. Commuters will see the last of this train on 22 Feb, which coincides with the 15th and final day of the Lunar New Year.
