Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Proposal for New MRT Line to Serve Residents in Fernvale, Seletar and Jalan Kayu Estates

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.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     When considering whether to build new MRT 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.

2.     At present, residents in Fernvale, Seletar and Jalan Kayu can access the North South, North East and Circle Lines via bus and LRT. They will also be served by the upcoming Cross Island Line.
