Shuttle bus services available

During the planned closures from Nov. 30 to Dec. 15, there will be shuttle bus services for affected commuters.

They will stop at designated bus stops near the MRT stations.

Train services on the EWL between Queenstown and Buona Vista MRT stations will operate as a bi-directional shuttle with longer service intervals of up to 12 minutes.

To maintain connectivity for commuters during these early closures, Shuttle Bus Services 2 and 4 will ply along the affected sectors.

Express 17, a bi-directional point-to-point bus service between Woodlands and Bukit Panjang MRT Stations, will be provided to connect commuters to the Downtown Line.

SMRT said: “This arrangement allows train services to continue between these stations using a single track, while facilitating the turn-around of trains for the rest of the EWL."

The closing of sections of the MRT lines earlier over the past year has been to facilitate the renewal of the power supply system.

It will continue until it is completed by early 2020s.
