Service Pattern along Circle Line Once Stage 6 is Completed

Ms Hazel Poa asked the Minister for Transport (a) what is the proposed service pattern along the Circle Line once Stage 6, which will close the loop between HarbourFront and Marina Bay MRT stations, is completed in 2026; (b) whether the existence of the Dhoby Ghaut to Promenade branch of the Circle Line is expected to impact service frequencies on the rest of the Line once Stage 6 is completed; (c) if so, where might the issue arise; and (d) how might it be mitigated.

The Land Transport Authority and the operator are reviewing the future service pattern for the Circle Line after the completion of Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6) in 2026. Similar to today's service pattern, it will take into account current and projected ridership, including passenger demand along the Dhoby Ghaut to Promenade stretch, to ensure that capacity is optimised.
