CONSTRUCTION OF PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF POINT NEAR BUKIT BATOK MRT STATION

The Bukit Batok MRT station, since it was built about 30 years back, lacks a proper drop off/ pick up point. I therefore pushed for the construction of this facility. I am pleased to announce that the Minister for Transport kindly agreed. It will be constructed along Bukit Batok Central. Construction works will begin early next year. Looking forward to a more accessible Bukit Batok MRT station for all our commuters! My PQ and Minister Iswaran’s answer may be accessed below.

Mr Murali Pillai asked the Minister for Transport whether a pick-up and drop-off point with a sheltered walkway may be constructed near Bukit Batok MRT station with a view to improve access to and from the station.

Mr S Iswaran: A new pick-up and drop-off point along Bukit Batok Central, with a sheltered walkway linking it to the nearby Bukit Batok MRT station, has been included in Land Transport Authority’s Commuter Infrastructure Enhancement Programme. Construction works are expected to commence next year.
