LTA to enhance MRT connectivity

And no more sweating at elevated MRT stations upon installation of fans.

To enhance accessibility and connectivity to MRT stations, the Land Transport Authority will be upgrading three MRT stations: Clementi, Commonwealth and Queenstown. LTA said this is to cater to expected growth in travel demand due to new developments in these areas.

New station entrances equipped with fare gates and ticketing machines will be constructed at these three MRT stations. Each station will also have an additional pedestrian link bridge linking the station to the pavements on both sides of the roads.

In the announcement LTA said, “These enhancements will help to alleviate congestion on the existing link bridges of the three stations, especially during morning and evening peak periods, and provide commuters with greater convenience and comfort. Works at the stations are expected to start in mid-2012 and completed by mid-2015.”

LTA will also be embarking on an island-wide project to fit all 36 elevated MRT stations with fans to improve the air circulation at station platforms. Either high volume low speed fans or jet fans will be installed, depending on the structure of the station roof. The installation of the fans is expected to start in the first quarter of 2012 and is expected to complete by the first quarter of 2013.

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.
