SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced the final names for the Downtown Line 3 (DTL3) stations.
These names were put to a public poll in June and attracted more than 3,000 responses, and reflect the choice of the majority who took part in the exercise.
Three interchange stations at MacPherson, Tampines and Expo were not included in the polling exercise as these are existing official station names.
The Street and Building Names Board has approved the final names for the 13 stations.
The final names of the 13 stations are:
1. Fort Canning
2. Bencoolen
3. Jalan Besar
4. Bendemeer
5. Geylang Bahru
6. Mattar
7. Ubi
8. Kaki Bukit
9. Bedok North
10. Bedok Reservoir
11. Tampines West
12. Tampines East
13. Upper Changi
The 21-kilometre underground Downtown Line 3 rail system comprising 16 stations, will start at Fort Canning station and serve residents along the MacPherson, Bedok Reservoir and Kaki Bukit areas, before ending at the Expo station.
LTA said it will enhance rail connectivity in the eastern corridors to the Central Business District and developments in the Marina Bay area.
The three interchange stations at MacPherson, Tampines and Expo, will also connect commuters to the Circle Line and East-West Line.
