Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Update on Completion and Commencement of Operations for Phase 3 of Thomson East Coast Line and Johor Bahru - Singapore Rapid Transit Link
Mr Kwek Hian Chuan Henry asked the Minister for Transport whether an update can be provided on the completion time and when operations will commence for Phase Three of the Thomson East Coast Line and the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit (RTS) Link.
Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:
1. Under stage 3 of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), 11 stations are slated to commence passenger service in 2H 2022. This will connect residents in the north directly to many destinations in the city and significantly shorten travel times.
2. The RTS Link project is progressing well and on track for service commencement by end 2026. When the RTS Link service commences, it will ease congestion along the Causeway and make cross-border travel between the two countries more convenient and efficient.
