What will happen?
There will be no train service between Jurong East and Bukit Batok
Stations. Commuters travelling between the affected route will need
to alight at the affected station and board the free shuttle bus
service that will ply between the two stations. For more info on
the shuttle bus service, please look below
What are the affected stations? Other than Jurong East and Bukit Batok
Stations, the other affected stations are Choa Chu Kang and Bukit
Gombak. Other than these stations, travel on other parts of the MRT
system is not affected.
How are these stations affected? Alternate North-bound trains on the
North-South Line will terminate its service at Choa Chu Kang
Station.
North-bound commuters travelling towards Jurong East Station may
need to detrain at Choa Chu Kang Station and board the next train
bound for Bukit Batok station. When commuters arrive at Bukit Batok
Station, they will need to exit the station and continue their
journey to Jurong East on the shuttle bus service
provided.
South-bound commuters will need to take the shuttle bus service
from Jurong East Station to Bukit Batok and board the train from
Bukit Batok Station.
Trains will be travelling at a slower speed between Choa Chu Kang
and Bukit Gombak Stations. Commuters travelling through these
affected stations may experience longer journey times due to longer
headways.
Do pay attention to service announcements and look out for
directional signs when travelling in the MRT network during the
above mentioned weekend.
While we have made considerable effort to provide a smooth journey,
inconveniences and longer travelling time are unavoidable. We seek
all commuters’ understanding.
Why is there no bus bridging service linking Jurong East
and Choa Chu Kang Stations? To ferry the large number of commuters
between Jurong East and Choa Chu Kang by bus will result in even
longer travelling time. After careful consideration, SMRT and LTA
concluded that train services, with its larger capacity and being
less subject to weather or traffic conditions, would be the most
convenient mode.
Will train frequency be affected? For stations that are directly or
indirectly affected by this work, trains will travel at a slower
speed. However, train service in the rest of the stations will not
be affected.
Which alternative train route can commuters travel on to
get to Jurong East Station? Commuters can use the East-West line to
reach Jurong East Station while avoiding the Jurong East to Bukit
Batok stretch. For example, if you are travelling from Ang Mo Kio
to Jurong East station, it is advisable to board the South bound
train and transfer at City Hall or Raffles Place Station to board
the West bound train.
How will train service be affected after the upgrading
works? For the next few days after the
upgrading works, trains will run at a slower speed at the affected
stretch.
Where are the pickup and alighting points for the bus
shuttle service? Commuters can follow the
directional signs from the station to the pickup points. SMRT staff
will be stationed along the way to guide commuters.
For the bus shuttle service, there will be a sheltered waiting area
at all the pick up points for the bus.
