Commonwealth MRT Station is located on the East West Line of the Mass Rapid Transit system in Singapore. The station is located in Queentown.
History[]
When the MRT network commenced operations in 1987, Commonwealth as with all above-ground stations had no physical barriers between the platforms and tracks. Following numerous incidents of commuters falling on the tracks and unauthorized intrusions, the Land Transport Authority made the decision in 2008 to install half height platform screen doors for all above-ground stations in phases. The screen doors were installed on January 2011 and started operations on 28 April 2011 together with Queenstown.[1]
The fans began operating since 25 June 2012, together with Buona Vista, after the installation of the MJ Air Tech High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) Pro-Jet fans completed.
TITAN faregates were installed from 11 June 2012. Cash top ups are not accepted at the passenger service centres from 21 January 2018 at this station.
