High Speed Rail Terminal Site - Vote Your Choice

[Royston8H]

Hello friends,

This question is interesting because it affects how we are going to invest or travel to Malaysia next time.

Can kindly cast your vote for the benefits of Singaporeans?

[iwantgizmos]

I vote city centre... convenient for all...

[Ringo33]

Commuters will obviously choose City because its convenient for everyone

But from a strategic and economic point of view, government will obviously choose Jurong East.

I honestly dont think there is anything to debate here because PM Lee has already hinted on Jurong East IF it HSR happens.

[xebay11]

Voted Jurong East as wish list, however I still feel they will finalise with Tuas West.

[p3nboy]

take HSR to KL and move around with Rapid bus?

[CondoWE]

I voted JE b'cos higher chance but personally prefer Tuas.... !

[Allthepies]

Either jurong east or city is good for me but I voted for JE

[Ringo33]

Can those voted for Tuas share with us why Tuas?

[rymccondo77]

Ideally City but this option more costly, more difficult and take more time to complete.

Therefore voted for Jurong East - more accessible compared to Tuas.

[Ringo33]

Can those voted for Tuas share with us why Tuas?

HALO!!! those voted for Tuas, can you share to us why TUAS please.

[Simi]

Bro Ringo

its only a Poll

believe if one of the site is Tampines or Bishan
there will be people voting for it

so do not need to take it so seriously la
Just have fun

[DC33_2008]

Result will be out in first quarter in 2015.

Analyzing the result of poll is actually the fun part of it.

Like this one here. Why do people vote for Tuas when they can vote for city or Jurong East.

at least this is a very fair Poll

if for some one else who did the Poll
the Poll may be like this

1) Tuas West
2) Tuas End
3) at the Tail of Jurong

[Royston8H]

8 reasons why i voted for High Speed Rail Terminal station at Tuas West.

HALO!!! those voted for Tuas, can you share to us why TUAS please.

Actually very funny. HSR is not cheap mode of transport. If put at JE, how many residents in JE would use it? I think people in JE would prefer cheaper mode such as coach or CW services or catch a coach in JB.

HSR station should be located where the affluent mass is.

[hyenergix]

More or less decided at Jurong East. But then again HSR may never be built in e next few years, or things get seriously delayed or overblown budget.

Hsr is for the masses if Singaporean can't afford it then what about Malaysian ?

Masses got different categories leh bro.
Coaches are for the mass masses. HSR are more for the affluent mass.

[minority]

Tuas will be better. Coz Jurong is too crowded liao

[Pro888]

This poll not accurate one. Those have vested interest in Jurong, mostly/ all will vote for JE. Must differentiate between you think & you want/wish. ppl live far far away from these speculated sites should (only should) be more chun.

IMO (only my opinion), makes no different to travel another 15mins or so from JE to Tuas link mrt and how frequent?

Tuas west extension most of the time i assume will be under-utilised. Only cater for 100k working ppl morning & evening peaks. Don't waste tax payers money to run a double line.

MND/URA when they plan, very often a need to engage external party for consultation and propose alternatives. They can't and nobody is able to see what will happen , what changes needed in 15 or 20 years due to changing environment. If pulling a line too far in and also involve another country, very difficult to make adjustment. Too many restrictions & limitations.

The purpose/ intention of Regional Ctrs. The trade figures between the 2 countries in this area of concern?

Who initiate this line?

It seems like many people are vested in Tuas also. Wonder which waterfront condo? Tuas Cove

.

Masses got different categories leh bro.
Coaches are for the mass masses. HSR are more for the affluent mass.

Anyone who can afford to travel by budget airline will be able to afford to travel by HSR. For such service, there split into 2 classes, premium and "economy" class cabin offering different level of comfort and space.

For the affluent, they will travel by premium class for sure. Perhaps there might even be first class if they are crazy enough.

The AYE and PIE traffic are coming to a crawl at peak hour. This has to be resolved if HSR were to be located there and JLD were to boom further.

LTA is going quite a few things to improve on that

PIE upsizing
ERP on AYE
Flyover bridge along West Coast highway

And most important of all, confine all transhipment activities to Tuas port in future.

Bro, PM did said that Jurong East is "very attractive" site for HSR. But now, nobody can really confirm the actual site until when the result is out in 2015 as said by DC.

But before 8 april announcement, nobody ever talk about these three potential sites and many might have thought it is coming from the woodland north side too.

If the site can only be confirmed by 2015, we left only 5 years and this time is not only we need to build a HSR in Singapore but Malaysia will also need time to build a much longer HSR from JB to KL.....

So Malaysia side will have to start running now. That's why they have a confirmed site but we do not have now and until 2015. This is the part that i admire Singapore government....planning and once the site is confirmed, they will make it happen in time.

5 years to build a HSR site is unlike building a normal condo aside the HSR line which cuts into JE or City. For those who dealt with MRT projects will know, they need a lot of professional engineering certified processes to ensure bomb shelter proof. And high speed in HSR will imply further stringent certification is required for sure.

It cant be a normal thomson MRT line which was announced earlier to be completed by 2021 and having our cross country project, HSR to only complete within 5 yrs upon confirmation in 2020.

This is a very challenging poll.

Actually we have already talk about the possibly of hsr located in jld as early as September last year and it does come as a surprise that's it will be west because rts in the north and psa in the west,

[Royston8H]

That's why this is an interesting poll after 8 April official announcement.
We can only vote our choice and to say maybe TW/JE/City.

This is not a salesman talk but just a poll to gather the feedback from all. Do you like to vote for JE to equalise the result now?

The link that you posted consist of nothing but salesman talk.

its no different trying to dress up a monkey to look like supermodel.

[Royston8H]

The link i posted is to answer to your question why Tuas West since you kept asking for reasons. Just to make you happy.

I am not a monkey or supermodel or property sales agent or property guru. Just an average Singaporean investor.

Are you a hunk?

Do you like to vote JE here to record your affirmative view?
