The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has bought 15 more trains for the Down Town Line. The trains, costing about S$119 million, are expected to be delivered from 2015, in time for the operations of DTL Stage 2 in 2015.73 trains have already been bought for the 42-kilometre rail line that will run from Bukit Panjang through the Central Business District area to the Expo. The additional trains will result in shorter waiting times for commuters. Six stations are progressing at different stages.
After reading this, I think this would really help Singapore in years to come with the population rising. During the peak hours now, stations and trains are all full of commuters, and this made many citizens really worried. Hence, by adding the new downtown line and more trains, Singapore’s transport infrastructure would surely be more effective as people would be able to get around faster.
