@mothershipsg: TEL is finally complete. Singapore’s rail network will expand by 4.3km on Dec. 26 with the opening of 3 new MRT stations—Bedok South, Xilin, and the Sungei Bedok interchange. The Sungei Bedok link will allow direct transfers between the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and Downtown Line (DTL), enhancing network resilience and connectivity to commercial hubs like Changi Business Park and Tampines Regional Centre. The openings will significantly cut travel times by 10 to 25 minutes. ⌚️Havelock to Changi Business Park will now take roughly 45 minutes ⌚️Marine Parade to Tampines will now take about 35 minutes The expansion also brings rapid transit closer to residents. Over 240,000 households will sit within a 10-minute walk of a TEL station, alongside more than 220,000 households near a DTL station. Announcing the news this morning at the Singapore Urban Mobility Week conference, Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said, "Residents in the east may even be able to take the Thomson-East Coast Line continuously into the city centre, up north to Woodlands, and maybe conveniently across the Straits into Malaysia very soon."
