"TEL will bring new connections to commuters living in the east, as well as reduce journey times by almost 25% from an 80min bus ride to 60min."

The 13km East Coast section of the TEL will link Sungei Bedok in the eastern parts of the country with Tanjong Rhu in the west. The region currently does not have a rail network to the city centre.

The section running through Siglap, Upper East Coast and Bedok South will have nine stations, including an interchange with the Downtown Line at Sungei Bedok.

The 43km TEL is being formed by combining the East Coast section and Thomson stretch, which serves the north-south corridor.
