Transcript

83 Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport whether there is any feasibility study on a new MRT line to serve residents in the Fernvale, Seletar and Jalan Kayu estates.

Mr Chee Hong Tat (for the Minister for Transport): When considering whether to build new Mass Rapid Transit lines, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) reviews public transport plans by looking at existing and future land use developments, current public transport options and engineering considerations. Studies by LTA are ongoing and updates will be provided when ready.

At present, residents in Fernvale, Seletar and Jalan Kayu can access the North-South, North-East and Circle lines via bus and Light Rail Transit. They will also be served by the upcoming Cross Island Line.
