  延长线通车　文礼站没那么挤了

  （2009-03-03）

  � 黄康玮

  ��兴建三年多�全长3.8公里的文礼延长线在上星期六正�通车，舒缓了文礼地�站在周末的拥挤情况。

  SMRT�言人�询时告诉本报，与2月首三个周末相比，文礼地�站在上周末的乘客平�进出人次明显�少。进入文礼站的乘客从6万6000人次下�到5万9500人次，而从文礼站离开的乘客从5万7000人次�至5万4500人次。

  文礼延长线有两个地�站，�先驱站与裕群站，从�忙的文礼站往西伸入裕廊工业区。 SMRT�言人�露，上周末进出先驱站的�天平�人次多达1万2500，裕群站则有2500人次。裕群站的工作人员也看到许多军人在周末离开军�时到该地�站乘�地�。

  昨天是文礼延长线正�通车�的首个工作日，迎�了�往市区与大士工业区的工作人士。本报记者在早上8时先�观察了文礼�先驱与裕群站的人�情况，�现先 驱站月��是�分拥挤，裕群站月�上的乘客则很少。文礼站昨天的人潮还是�少，许多人在该站下车，等待�往市区方�列车的乘客也挤在月�上。

  在先驱站�访的乘客对延长线通车�应�一，多数居�在地�站附近的居民�访时，表示会继续使用延长线。

  从事银行业的乘客�任�从先驱站乘�地�到市区工作，车程�缩短10分钟。他说，以�上�时乘�的243�巴士很拥挤，而且需�20分钟�到文礼地�站，如今�以直接走到地�站，方便多了。

  也有乘客觉得延长线�是很方便

  �一�乘客刘�婷昨天�试利用延长线�往工作地点，但觉得�是很方便。她说，�家�离先驱站较远，她乘�短程巴士到文礼站比较方便。她也希望巴士公�能对巴士路线进行一些调整，以为居民带�更大便利。

  wa relac la the changi extension had a much quieter opening than BLE leh. Shouldn't expect so much hype as its only a couple of stations and people take time getting used to the conveniences.

  maybe they dont feel convenient because they don't get seat anymore at boon lay.
  
  singaporeans you know lah.. they don't get one thing.. but use another completely reason to complain.

  furthermore the upriding escalator for both stations is near the back of the train eastbound.
  
  a tip for ppl at boon lay : try to go to front of eastbound train.
