SINGAPORE - Escalators are being installed at one exit each at Little India and Toa Payoh MRT stations to improve accessibility, so that commuters do not have to walk down the stairs to get into the stations.
The staircase replacement works are part of the LTA’s broader rail enhancement programme for the North-South and East-West Lines, North East Line, Circle Line and Sengkang-Punggol LRT to improve the commuting experience for passengers, said an LTA spokesman on Monday in response to queries. Commuters like Ms Chetana Thapa welcomed the installation of escalators, which was first reported by Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao.
Similarly, Mr Neppoliyan Nagarajayan, a 29-year-old factory worker, who uses exit E to get to Tekka Centre for his monthly grocery runs, said it will soon be very convenient to make his way down to the concourse level while carrying heavy items. The Land Transport Authority will finish installing a second escalator at exit E of Little India station by the end of 2023. ST PHOTO: AZMI ATHNI
“My granddaughter is very active... it is tough to carry so many things while making sure she is going down the stairs safely... so the new escalator will be very helpful for me,” added Mr Chen.
