More entrances for the Thomson-East Coast Line make it the most accessible
05 Nov 2014|1,395 views
When completed in 2024, the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) will have an average of four entrances at every MRT station, offering the most accessibility among all the rail lines, reported The Straits Times. Of TEL's 31 stations, Mayflower in Ang Mo Kio will be the most accessible with seven entrances.
The North-South, East-West and North-East lines have an average of three entrances at every station, while the Circle Line (CCL) and Downtown Line (DTL) have two entrances per station.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said designing stations with more entrances is part of its efforts to 'improve first and last mile connectivity'. It added that some of the entrances on the East Coast stretch will be connected to longer underpasses of up to 400 metres.
Commuters who want to know more about the new stations can visit the LTA exhibition which opened at Parkway Parade yesterday. The exhibition, which charts the milestones of Singapore's rail system, will move on to Thomson Plaza, Bedok Mall, Katong 112 and public libraries.
Visitors will be able to see models of rail infrastructure and what engineers use to build tunnels. The roadshow, which ends in May 2015, will also feature anecdotes from LTA's veteran engineers.
