Started out as just a copy of the Docklands Light Railway, but as it turns out now, The Jurong Region Line will be well integrated with the western part of Singapore, and greatly improve the public transport standard in the western part of Singapore. In terms of station accessibility, the Jurong Region Line stations will be one of the more accessible rail stations in Singapore. (Short walking distance from the entrance to the platform, and short transfer distance with other train lines and between the JRL own branches.) The only real concern is the noise. Hopefully the noise barriers and the trackside friction management system can really help to minimize the noise pollution generated by the Jurong Region Line to the neighboring residential areas (anyway, the tracks are aligned away from the residential blocks as much as possible, so it should be just as noisy as the public buses).
its extremely costly, unless there is something worth the cost (and its extremely dangerous for the workers). Accidents have happened before such as the collapse of nicoll highway
how do u expect the contractors to dig below ground to build stations? in their report they have already stated that the limited space in the neighborhoods due to old structures are not of help as well.

S'pore has one of the best transport systems in the world. 👍👍
Agree
Excited to see an 'driverless' MRT Line operating elevated finally (might operate simliar to the SPLRT)
Singapore has great infrastructure, and they keep making it better. 👏🏼
I have seen 1 pilliar being built over the months near Jurong East MRT
Why is the line not underground since it goes through residential areas? I would think residents would prefer it without the noise pollution.

Boon Lay station code is JS8
Choa Chu Kang station code is JS1
Wrong station code for Boon Lay and Choa Chu Kang MRT station!
Next to Tengah Airbase you know? Did you know that Tengah is home to fighter jets? Do you know what kind of noise these toys can make?
above ground mrt line in 2023???? what short sightedness!

What noise problem? It's not a problem as long as it doesn't affect the expensive living environment of PAP fat cats.
Ha ha ha!
Are you implying that you are one of them?
Good luck singaporeans forever can only afford to take bus and mrt
