Buangkok residents welcome opening of MRT station on Jan 15

Buangkok residents will have double reason to rejoice in the new year. Not only will Buangkok MRT station finally open on January 15, as of now, SBS Transit says it is not planning a bus rationalisation exercise - a move that usually follows many station openings.

Preparations are underway as SBS Transit gets the underground station all ready for its grand opening on January 15. For now, Buangkok's projected daily ridership is about 2,500 to 3,000 passengers daily. This is a far cry from the North East Line's busiest station Sengkang, which attracts 35,000 passengers daily, and even its least busiest station Punggol, with 7,000 passengers daily. But MP Charles Chong, who has been fighting for more than two years for the station to open, is convinced the numbers will climb.

- Sure took them long enough. But then, elections are coming ...
