Will early closures and late openings of MRT stations be eliminated when Singapore's first integrated train testing centre (ITTC) opens around late 2022?
The Land Transport Authority is hopeful that the centre would at least reduce the need for such shortened hours, which have been a regular inconvenience for commuters using the older lines.
