Transportation Minister Chee Hong Tat announced on Friday ( Jan 24 ) that the Hume MRT station on the Downtown Line will open earlier than expected on February 28.
Prior to now, the Hume train was scheduled to open in the second quarter.
When the station is operational, residents will have a better time getting to the city center, according to Mr. Chee in a Facebook post.
Travelling from Hume train to Downtown place may take around 30 days, over from about 45 minutes earlier, he added.
” Community members will also find the original Ford Shop and the Rail Corridor’s sights more convenient.”
Mr Chee noted that the network’s entry is another step towards the government’s goal of having eight in 10 families within a , 10-minute move from a coach stop by the 2030s.
” We may continue to expand our rail system to improve communication and convenience for our travellers,” said Mr. Chee.
Hume station is located between the , Hillview and Beauty World terminals.
