LTA to implement Priority Queues at select MRT station

In a move towards a more gracious society, LTA will implement Priority Queues at platform screen doors and passenger lifts of all MRT stations. These queues will complement the current queue lines provided for commuters to wait to let passengers alight from trains before entering. The Priority Queue, which will cater to needy commuters such as the elderly, pregnant and parents travelling with strollers, will enable them to enter the trains and lifts first. The stickers will be installed at 6 MRT stations first, which include Novena (North-South Line), Outram Park (East-West Line and North East Line), Chinatown (North East Line), Sengkang (North East Line) and Kent Ridge (Circle Line). These were chosen for their close proximity to hospitals and high usage by seniors.  Priority Queue stickers have been placed at the platform screen doors and passenger lifts at these six stations. The locations at the platform screen doors will correspond to the wheelchair parking space allocated in the train car. They are also generally closer to the lifts and away from the escalators where traffic is the heaviest.  Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
