Upcoming Cross Island Line expected to have 600,000 passengers daily

It will cover 50 km and have about 30 stations.

The future Cross Island Line (CRL) is expected to have at least 600,000 trips daily by the time it is completed, according to Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan.

Khaw noted that the CRL will link east to west, from Changi to Jurong, and cover more than 50 km with about 30 stations. About half of all the 30 plus new stations will be interchange stations, Khaw noted.

The CRL will serve commuters from residential areas like Loyang, Pasir Ris, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Sin Ming, Bukit Timah, Clementi and West Coast. This will place the CRL higher, in terms of capacity and usage, compared to the North East Line (NEL).

However, Khaw noted that the exact alignment of the CRL is still being studied, and all the studies and consultations may take two more years to complete.

One of the biggest issues regarding the CRL’s construction is its effect on the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR), with some groups voicing concern that the line’s construction will affect fauna in the CCNR.

“The CRL is a massive project and the Government will decide on its entire alignment only after making a total assessment, including financial viability, technical feasibility and other relevant considerations. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is only one of the many studies which we need to undertake to help us determine the best alignment for the stretch of the CRL in the vicinity of the nature reserve,” Khaw said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
