SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has
completed installing half-height screen doors at all 36 surface
stations on the North-South and East-West MRT lines ahead of
schedule.
Kranji was the last station to get the screen doors,
which started operation on Wednesday morning.
LTA had earlier pledged to complete the installation
by June this year.
Mr Hawazi Daipi, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education &
Manpower and MP for Sembawang GRC, said: "I am pleased that the LTA
has completed the installation of half-height platform screen doors
on all elevated stations ahead of time."
The platform screen doors are meant to enhance commuter safety and
reduce the incidence of track intrusions.
Pasir Ris was the first station to be fitted with half-height
platform screen doors under the pilot stage in 2009. The screen
doors were subsequently rolled out to all stations.
