5 Stations of the Circle Line was opened by the DPM Teo Chee Chean on 27th May 2009.
They are Bartley, Serangoon, Lorong Chuan, Bishan and Marymount stations and trains will start rolling from Thursday morning.
An estimate of 55,000 commuters are expected to use this five stations daily. The remaining stations will open from 2010. Once fully operational, ridership is around the figures of 500,000 daily.
The tunneling is more then 90% completed leaving the West Coast station which will start excavation soon. The whole project is expect to be completed by September this year.
Six stations have already received the Temporary Occupation Permit - an indication that they will be next in line to be open to the public. They are Dhoby Ghaut, Bras Basah, Esplanade, Promenade, Stadium and Tai Seng.
As for me, my workplace is at One North Station, hope it will be open soon! Need that traffic for business.
