THE second phase of Singapore's newest train line, the Circle Line, was officially opened by Transport Minister Raymond Lim on Friday evening.
Eleven new stations on this line will start operations from Saturday morning at 6am.
The stations are: Tai Seng, MacPherson, Paya Lebar, Mountbatten, Dakota, Stadium, Nicoll Highway, Esplanade, Promenade, Bras Basah and Dhoby Ghaut. They will link up with the five existing Circle Line stations which were opened last May.
Commuters can expect to cut their travelling time and cost using the new line. A commuter travelling from Paya Lebar to Bartley station would normally take 38 minutes and spend $1.61 on his fare. With the new CCL, he will take six minutes and pay $0.66.
By next year, the entire 33km Circlie Line will open and give commuters more travelling options.
Among the stations yet to open are Telok Blangah, Holland Village and Kent Ridge.
