Mr Ong Hua Han asked the Minister for Transport
a. when does LTA expect to conclude its feasibility studies on a proposed new rail line in the north and northeast regions as indicated in the Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP) 2040; and
b. whether an update on the new rail line will be provided in the next update of the LTMP.
Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:
1. Rail projects are major public investments that require careful consideration of various factors, such as current and future land-use needs, engineering feasibility and potential environmental impact.
2. Residents in the North and North-East are presently served by the North-South Line, North-East Line and Thomson-East Coast Line. Under our bus and rail enhancement plans, we will further improve the connectivity for residents in the North and North-East regions. These include new and improved bus services under the Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme, the opening of Punggol Coast station in December this year, and the Cross Island Line Phase 1 and Punggol Extension in the early 2030s.
