Circle Line to be completed in October

Daily ridership for the 28 stations is pegged at 400,000.

Mr Lui Tuck Yew, Minister for Transport, said, “The Circle Line will enhance connectivity of the rail network, and bring about significant time savings for many commuters. For example, travelling from Bishan to Buona Vista will only take 26 minutes compared to 40 minutes today via the North South and East West Lines. Likewise, travelling from Farrer Road to Raffles Place will only take 25 minutes, instead of 40 minutes by bus today.”

He further noted that the full opening of the Circle Line is expected to relieve crowding along the North-South and East-West Lines by about 10 to 15 percent. Also, 17 more trains will be added by December 2011 along the NSEWL to increase capacity.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
