First three stations of Thomson-East Coast Line to officially open on Jan 31

The first three stations of the new Thomson-East Coast Line -- Woodlands South, Woodlands North and Woodlands -- will open on Jan 31, 2020. They will be the first stations to use the new refreshed MRT system map, which is clearly colour-coded and features icons for major transport nodes and Singapore's distinct landmarks. The new system map will be progressively installed at all MRT and LRT stations. The Land Transport Authority will hold an open house on Jan 11 for the new stations, and commuters can enjoy free travel for three days when the TEL1 officially starts running.

[@don92inspire32]

I wish the Sungei Kadut must have the MRT station there, including the Bus interchange for the big green field.

[@evajialing]

[@Marcustzb]

[@SinSnxpes]

Lmao theres nothing to do in singapore

[@eldenlee3102]

@@SinSnxpes You are mean

[@owenchuarbx]

I genuinely had mixed reactions about this as a former member of a local railway enthusiast group (Now an independent one). Although I'm happy with the opening of the new line, I can't help myself but feel a little intimidated by the presence of SGTrains as they had exclusive and unprecedented access to any rail events hosted by the transport board.

[@SingaporeTrainsProductions]

Well they are known by LTA

[@HeAiNtMaN]

I think they'd love not to invite so called 'enthusiasts' that can't even tell arse from elbow.

[@mssmz-jd3ci]

SGTrains is a bad group as they are rude, unreliable, unsympathetic, childish, and bully other fellow train enthusiasts on social media. They even swear online.

[@owenchuarbx]

@@mssmz-jd3ci had to agree with that.

[@sgbusdrivertenproduction2023]

I m ready to see

[@rivenadeshizzle]

Meanwhile in Manila...

[@chaliegamer5152]

[@alwynhuo955]

4 years to make a map...how this goes... : someone think of something, next level disagreed, then next next level wanna add something, next next next level says cannot, next X 4 says no time already, then finally use the one the first level made... there are people that always comment for the sake of making noise and prove their existence even they aren't necessary

[@thebigshot3465]

Can anyone go to the open house?

[@Muhfa]

singapore :) awesome .............

[@emptyangel]

Is there even a Woodlands Ave 16? lmao...

[@poteyatocheapp6978]

A friend told me that its meant to be Woodlands Dr 16 .-. EDIT: Oops I meant Ave 1

[@mssmz-jd3ci]

emptyangel yes omg I wonder how no one could notice it

[@kaminoyami5776]

Cool now they make even more complicated map It is so hard to read, man i wish they create a simpler map so we can rush through the MRT by looking it in a second

[@gowonslineinptt4506]

The SG MRT map is easier to read compared to Seoul or Tokyo.

[@puppyramen]

Yeah all those circles and curvy shapes are more stressful to interpret than the old straight lines.

[@simroysten7963]

Mrt map and directions sign leave much to be desired especially at the Dhoby Ghaut Interchange. Designed by young punks for young punks. period.

[@Genso326]

Lol all of them speak with such a stereotypical Asian accent.

[@joofer.j]

Um this is Singapore which is an Asian country...
