Downtown Line 3 (DTL3) will open on Oct 21, completing a three-stage MRT line that links the north-western and eastern towns to the old and new downtowns.
The 21km, 16-station DTL3 runs from Fort Canning station, directly across from Liang Court, through old-town neighbourhoods such as Jalan Besar and Bendemeer before heading eastwards through Geylang Bahru, MacPherson, Ubi, Bedok North and Upper Changi to end at Expo station.
New interchanges on this section of the DTL include an interchange with the Circle Line at MacPherson station and interchanges at Tampines and Expo stations with the East-West Line.
Once the DTL is fully operational, it will be Singapore's longest underground MRT line, spanning 42km.
To celebrate this milestone, the Land Transport Authority is offering commuters free travel for journeys between all 34 stations of the DTL on Oct 21 and 22.
The free rides are only for passengers starting and ending their journeys on Downtown Lines 1, 2 and 3.
To get the free rides, passengers can tap their farecards in and out at the fare gates, and no money will be deducted.
