In an interview, SMU Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Terence Fan discussed how the planned linkage of the Downtown Line to North-South Line would affect commuters, as well as on how it would increase rail resilience in Singapore’s transport network, especially given the recent incidents last year. He also shared how these new stations could affect Sungei Kadut economically and environmentally, stimulating economic growth while necessitating careful environmental management to preserve local fauna and flora.
