the bukit timah mrt line

the future mrt map (ver 3) shows that the bukit timah line will terminate at the present bukit panjang lrt station, next to the bus interchange. including the bukit panjang station, there are 16 stations along the route, some of which, like bugis, newton and little india, are existing stations. two of the stations along the circle line will also be along the bukit timah line. they are botanic gardens and promenade.

all the stations will be underground. the other stations are beach road, kampong java, eng neo, sixth avenue, dunearn, anak bukit, hume, hillview and chestnut.

part of the circle line is expected to be operational by 2010. the whole circle line network should be in service by 2012. the expected date for the bukit timah line to be ready is in the year 2015, about seven years from now.

looks like, come 2015, can give up the car.
