SINGAPORE: Downtown Line Stage 1, which connects Chinatown to Bugis directly, will open by the end of the year.
Testing of the train system is underway to ensure smooth travel.
Basic functions of the train system are tested.
These include emergency call buttons, route map displays, train stopping accuracy as well as the live announcement system.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has to complete about 800 test cases.
So far, about 50% of the tests have been completed.
LTA has moved on from testing the core functions of the trains to scenario testing.
LTA's deputy director (rolling stock and depot equipment), Chia Choon Poh, said: "The team has been conducting tests from the operations control centre down to each individual train for the last eight months to test the various functions of the train while in motion. What we are doing now is the carousel train testing, where we replicate normal train operations."

SINGAPORE: The bidding war for stalls at the Lunar New Year bazaar in Chinatown has begun. The bazaar will be on from January 18 till the eve of Lunar New Year on February 9.
Guangzhou Wax Meat owner Yip Wai Keong made the top bid for two stalls at the junction of Smith Street and Trengganu Street, where human traffic is the heaviest.
He paid S$5,000 for each stall, 60 per cent less than the previous year. He bid S$12,888 for one stall in the same area last year.
There are 500 stalls at the bazaar and of these, only 50 were up for bidding.
Mr Yip had also rented two stalls in the area for S$4,000 each.
He said: "As we've already got these two stalls, it doesn't matter if we win the bids this year. There's no pressure to do so; we didn't have to put in a high bid this year."
Stall owners said they are worried about the unpredictable weather and take a cautious approach when ordering their supplies.
