'Some people have even called this TEL4 line the makan line': PM Wong opens new stations from Tanjong Rhu to Bayshore

The public preview from noon to 9pm on June 21 will allow people to ride the MRT trains for free along the new stretch, and take part in games and activities.The TEL's eastern end will eventually be connected to Changi Airport via an extension set to be completed in the mid-2030s, together with the opening of the airport's Terminal 5. Its western end will link passengers to the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link at Woodlands North station.

A direct train ride on the TEL from Marine Parade to Shenton Way, in the heart of the Central Business District, will take 20 minutes, halving commutes for residents who had to take a combination of bus and train before, he noted. "If you grew up in the east, there's always a special place here. You know that there are excellent food options in Joo Chiat, in Katong, and I think some people have even called this TEL4 line the 'makan' line," PM Wong quipped.The Prime Minister noted that people with special needs were among the passenger groups the authorities had in mind when designing the line.
