Serious PAP Planning To Expand MRT Network Till 2040! Oppies No Chance Of Ever Winning GE!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE: Accessibility to the rail network is set to be further improved with the extension of some lines and the development of new stations.

Among the proposals announced on Saturday (May 25) by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in its Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040) is the addition of two new stations on the North-South Line (NSL).

Located between Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Gombak stations, the new Brickland station will benefit people living in Keat Hong, Bukit Batok West and Pavilion Park, as well the Brickland district in the upcoming Tengah town.

The NSL will also have a new interchange station at Sungei Kadut that will connect to the Downtown Line (DTL). LTA explained that this will be achieved by extending the DTL beyond Bukit Panjang station to serve Yew Tee and Choa Chu Kang.

LTA said that the new interchange station will be located between Yew Tee and Kranji stations, and that people living in the northwest can expect to cut up to 30 minutes from their journey time to the city area.

The Sungei Kadut interchange station will also serve future developments by JTC Corporation in the vicinity, such as the upcoming site for SMEs in the metal, machinery and timber industries, and the future Agri-Food Innovation Park.


Both Brickland station and the Sungei Kadut interchange station are expected to be opened by the mid-2030s, said the authority.

It is going to happen because the PAP will remain in power for the next 50 years or so. And Singapore's government is flushed with cash, unlike the jiuhu government which is crippled in debt and may go under any moment.

 

[greedy and cunning]

It is going to happen because the PAP knew beri well
that construction industry is one of the main contributor
of GDP

More construction...therefore more FTs for jobs.

 

[sweetiepie]

KNN talking about something that majority of users, readers, planners and builders will no longer be alive seem meaningless KNN

 

[red amoeba]

All the pretext for fare increase. Huat ah.

The MRT lines would eventually run until everyone needing to just step out of their house to take MRT. However, the operators would increase prices due to "increasing operating costs". Thus generating more income for the government, more bonus for my multimillionaire ministers. Long live PAP, huat ahhhhhh!
