No mothballing of MRT stations in future

THE Government will in future not allow completed train stations to remain closed.

At last the government is behaving more responsibly by announcing that completed train stations will not remain close .

Evey one in Singapore remembers the decision about Potong Pasir MRT decision when it was completed. Reasons were given which the public at large did not buy at all.

It was a childish act and remains a black mark in Singapore history.

Not everything should be about profitability and money. Civil service to the people, is sometimes more important and a better investment.

modern societies need infrastructure to cross breed economics, it's never about viability or profitability.

Isn't it time to apply the same approach for Woodleigh? SBS Transit can also stop giving excuses. How much dent to the bottom line between opening now and when the American sch is ready? SBS has grossly underestimated the profits it will make from the NE line. Are they so sure abt the "loss" they will incur from opening Woodleigh now?

woodleigh mrt dun seems to serve anybody. just a bare patch of land. perhaps it's wiser to remain close - save energy and resources.

with the Hungary Ghost festival and Hell-oween season over, it should be safe now to open the MRT station at Woodleigh, sure no more fare cheats

Wait till you see the Bukit Brown station on the Circle Line, which SMRT has announced will remain closed, since the only amenity around it is the Kopi-Sua Cemetery.
