Some areas in Punggol are served by only one bus. They tried to force commuters to use the LRT. However, if you live between LRT stations, the walk is quite tiring, and the trains are overcrowded during peak hours. My two kids live in Punggol, and I know the situation.
The thinking seems to be that by building many MRT lines and stations, the crowds will be dispersed island-wide and underground, and the situation will appear less critical. But for most, what is important is just the MRT line that gets them to work and back being less crowded, not meandering around the island switching trains.
The LTA will be releasing 20,000 more COEs in February 2025. Is this good news or bad? Good news for the Government undoubtedly, but bad news for those driving as more congestions and jams will be the result.
Ten million population they were gloating. Now at about six million and already we are finding it hard to breathe. I live in the North-East and I honestly hate travelling on the overcrowded MRT trains. I think the situation is the same with the North-South line that I have also used. And that must be the norm with all the other lines.

Singapore’s economy exceeded expectations, grew 4% in 2024: PM Wong
What has that gotta do with us? No income yet elevated costs of living rising, transport fares rising, COEs unaffordable, overcrowding , etc
Grew 4% from a low base post COVID, or 4% pre COVID?
