| SMRT chief Saw Phaik Hwa took those who attended her financial results conference yesterday a few stops farther than usual.
In classic off-the-cuff style, she gave her views on mergers, the land transport system and business prospects for the company rolling forward.
She revealed that the new Circle MRT Line - which SMRT will run - is scheduled to open in two stages. The first, from Marymount to Suntec will open by the last quarter of 2010. The remaining section, from Marymount to Pasir Panjang, will open in late 2011.
This is the first time anyone has given definite dates on the opening of the new 33-km line. | |

Since LTA has already removed their estimated opening date for each stage on Circle Line from their website, I am not surprised that the second part of Circle Line will be opened in late 2011 as I can tell that the construction for Stage 2 and 3 is currently still going on right now as well as rebuilding of Nicoll Highway station. Well, I guess we have to wait longer for first part of Circle Line to be opened.
