hawkeye1819 SG The new MRT City Line runs along the same route as the North-South Line. Wonder why they are wasting money to build such a line? They could have build a new line linking the north directly to the east. Or build the line further up into Holland and upper Jurong West.
Orange_Monster SG You should have seen the MRT master plan created by LTA. Supposed to ready by the year 20xx.. Will make travelling by road almost non-existent.
justiceforall SG Dont be too happy. This present regime will charge everything they spent on you. It wont be free lunch! Good question - do we really need this? I think time is catching up, so they start spending and building more grandeur projects so that people will not forget them when they are gone 'WE HAVE UNLIMITED RESOURCES !!!" It's just like Shih Huang Ti and the Egyptian pharoahs all over again.
ndmmxiaomayi SG Huh? It passes by several NSL stations as far as I know. Go to the Trains forum and take a look at the map.

curryman SG go to skyscrapercity.com and go to the singapore section......loads of info and discusion there
^tamago^ SG it's the Thomson Line or Arts Line. Marina - Nicoll Highway - Beach Rd - Lavender St - Balestier Rd - Thomson Rd - Upp Thomson Rd - Sin Ming - Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 - Lentor Estate - SLE - Woodlands Ave 6 guess tat wun be built until 2025, and it requires Lentor to be more developed. and then it provides an express route into Woodlands.
justiceforall SG All this construction costs are unneccessary if our population remains at 3-4 Million. But now that the regime's wicked planned to crowd up to 7 million into this small red dot - they are spending more of our hard earned tax money, in order to accommodate their favorite people, the foreigners! Remember this, the old mindsets are not doing all this projects for our sakes!
GHoST_18 SG sorry hor... the FTs will be driving their big expensive cars... and the lines are built for commoners like us... so that we dun drive and hog the roads...
Y_Shun SG If you are staying at Bukit Panjang, I believe you save alot of time travelling... Is it a waste? Look at it yourself.
mistyblue SG after build, will not open all stations because lack of ridership but fare cost already calculated in that stop that no one can use… like buangkok loh….
iveco SG This line seems redundant, IMO. There's already CCL and NCL nearby. Anyway, the DTL eastern section seems to be duplicating NEL and EWL a little.
hawkeye1819 SG Sorry, the City Line I was referring to is the Downtown Line. Not sure why the papers refer it as City Line. Yes, it looks convenient for Bukit Panjang residents only. But the rest of the whole route is like a duplicate. And it's not that Bt Panjang residents cannot get to central. A bus to East West Line followed by change to EWL MRT will do the trick.
