SINGAPORE – Woodlands residents will enjoy greater connectivity with the opening of the first three stations along the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) from Jan 31, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Wednesday (Dec 11).
All commuters will also have free travel between the Woodlands North, Woodlands and Woodlands South stations for three days, from Jan 31 to Feb 2.
Stations along the TEL have bigger yellow-coloured signage to help commuters find their way around. Exit directories listing all the major landmarks in the neighbourhood with their respective station exits can also be found in both the ticketed and non-ticketed areas of the station.
A locality map with the landmarks within walking radius in the vicinity – including Housing Board blocks, schools, hospitals and religious sites – also helps commuters to navigate their routes.
Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Baey Yam Keng, who was at a media preview of the new Woodlands South station on Wednesday, said: “We also want to encourage the elderly to use the trains. Therefore signage to bring them around and to navigate their way through the stations is very important.”
