When completed, commuters heading to Gardens by the Bay will enjoy time savings of 25 minutes as their direct train ride will take only 45 minutes.
The Thomson Line will enhance rail connectivity in the north-south corridors to the Central Business District (CBD) and developments in the Marina Bay area. Fully underground, Thomson Line comprises 22 stations, including six interchange stations: Woodlands, Caldecott, Stevens, Orchard, Outram Park and Marina Bay.
