The entirety of the completed CCL route is set to feature a total of 33 stations, including 12 interchange stations to other MRT lines.

LTA's CCL6 extension project will provide a direct route for commuters travelling between areas in the Singapore's western region such as the Pasir Panjang and Kent Ridge key areas in the Central Business District.

The transport authority also formed a new wholly owned subsidiary known as SG HSR last month, which will be responsible for implementing the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) development.

SG HSR is set to fund, construct, own and maintain all HSR infrastructures within the Singapore region.

The Kuala Lumpur – Singapore HSR is scheduled to begin operations from 2026 and will offer rapid connectivity between Malaysia and Singapore.
