4 New MRT Stations for Punggol by 2031

By 2031, Punggol residents will get 4 more train stations to directly connect them to the eastern part of Singapore, to places like Tampines and Pasir Ris.

The line is an extension of the Cross Island Line, and will act as a shuttle service to supplement the buses that currently ply the route.

With the new extension, commuters can expect to save up to 25 minutes when they travel, from Punggol Central to Pasir Ris Central, the Land Transport Authority said.

Construction of the underground Punggol, Riviera, Elias and Pasir Ris stations will begin in 2022 and the stations are expected to be opened by 2031.

Three of the four stations - Punggol, Riviera and Pasir Ris - will be interchange stations.

Travel time between Pasir Ris and Punggol will be halved with the construction of an MRT line extension linking the two towns by 2031.
