5 Circle Line MRT Stations Open
THE first five stations of the new Circle Line were opened by Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean on Wednesday morning.
Trains will start rolling from Thursday morning at Bartley, Serangoon, Lorong Chuan, Bishan and Marymount stations.
Commuters can transfer to the existing North-South line and North-East line at Bishan and Serangoon respectively.
'The Circle Line will open up multiple new connections for residents in the north and the north-east,' said Mr Teo before launching the new line.
The remaining 24 stations of the line will open from next year. Once fully operational, the line's daily ridership is expected to go up to 500,000.

Finally, we can see the fruits of labor on the Circle Line. This MRT track experienced a lot of mishaps - accidents, delay, budget overrun, etc. If I am not wrong, the engineering is very challenging due to the soil condition.
Anyway, Singaporeans will find it more convenient to get around with easy access to MRT but expect to fork out more money.
