The CIDB estimates that from now until the year 2000, the public
sector is expected to award more than US$5.71 billion worth of
contracts each year. Civil engineering projects are expected to
remain well above US$1.43 billion in light of recent announcements
on the new Light Rail Transit line, called the North Shore Line,
which will run from Woodlands to Pasir Ris, and link up coastal
towns along the Johor Straits; an underground network, on which a
feasibility study is underway; and the Mass Rapid Transit extension
to Changi Airport.
Wow this is quite a long ago announcement. wonder if the North
Shore Line will be MRT or LRT........
I think now with the buses 858,969,965,161,168,39, the North Shore
Line prob will not be built anytime soon. But i think it will still
be built eventually as they already made provisions for Punggol
Station to accommodate the North Shore Line. When it is finally
built, the above buses will probably either have their expressway
routes removed or disappear completely.
