  • There will be 2 full Sunday closures on these stretches on 10 and 17 Dec.
  • Train services have been suspended between Joo Koon and Gul Circle stations. This will continue until mid-2018.

    Commuters will have to get down at either stop and take a shuttle bus to the other. Shuttle bus fare will be same as MRT fare.

  • Parallel shuttle buses will be provided along affected MRT stations during affected hours. Fares for these shuttle bus services will be similar to MRT fare.
  • Alternative rail lines such as Circle Line and Downtown Line will still be functional.

While we all know that SMRT isn’t perfect in its transport endeavours, this improvement is a big step in the right direction for the future. Who knows what stories we’ll be telling ourselves then.
