From Aug 22, 2014, commuters at the three stations' platform level will be able to access the Wireless@SG service at the platform level. The service will be progressively rolled out to 16 MRT stations on the North-East Line as well as nine other stations with high commuter traffic over the next nine months, and is part of the Land Transport Masterplan 2013 initiative to provide better service on the public transport network, LTA said in its statement.

The nine other stations with high commuter usage are Bishan; Buona Vista; Choa Chu Kang; Dhoby Ghaut; Harbourfront; Jurong East; Outram Park; Paya Lebar; and Serangoon, LTA said.

The introduction of Wireless@SG at the platforms of all North-East Line stations and 12 other stations with high commuter volume is aimed at enhancing wireless connectivity for commuters, said LTA Chief Executive Chew Hock Yong.

They can now check their emails, surf the Web, or connect to social media platforms on their phones and tablets more speedily while they wait for the train.
