SINGAPORE: The Boon Lay extension of the Mass Rapid Transit will start operations on Saturday. The first train will arrive at 5.28 am.

The 3.8 kilometre extension is made up of two new stations — Pioneer and Joo Koon.

It’s the first of many new MRT lines and extensions that will be built from now until 2020.

Speaking at the official opening at Pioneer station on Friday, Transport Minister Raymond Lim said commuters also have a part to play in improving the rail network experience.

He added that gracious and courteous behaviour would help make rides pleasant and comfortable for all.
