A commuter has taken to social media calling for a direct MRT link between Pasir Ris and Punggol stations, with his video garnering over 397,000 views within a day as netizens echoed his demands.
TikToker @kaungzinye says in a post on Aug 21 that he “needs an MRT from Pasir Ris to Punggol to be built now”.
