Proposal for MRT stations for Cross Island Line at Fernvale, Sengkang, Hougang and Buangkok

30 Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport whether LTA has completed the study of possible MRT stations for the Cross Island Line and whether it can include having stations in Fernvale, Sengkang, Hougang and Buangkok.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: Engineering studies for the Cross Island Line are currently ongoing. In determining locations for new Mass Rapid Transit stations, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) takes into account various factors, such as land use plans, transport needs for the areas concerned, as well as construction safety and feasibility. LTA will announce the locations of the stations after the completion of the engineering studies.
