Commuters can expect a smoother travelling experience when new facilities in at least 23 MRT and LRT stations are completed in the next three years.

Upgrading work by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will cost $5.4 million to add lifts at pedestrian overhead bridges next to six stations: Bishan, Aljunied, Khatib, Yew Tee, Kranji and Sengkang.

The works, which started in November last year, will be completed by the end of next year.

Also slated for completion next year are enhancements at five stations: Dover, HarbourFront, Kovan and Yishun MRT stations, as well as Teck Whye LRT station.

The Commonwealth, Clementi and Queenstown stations will each get two new entrances with fare gates and ticketing machines.

Another nine MRT and LRT stations will also get better facilities by June 2015: Kallang, Lakeside, Bukit Gombak and Serangoon MRT stations; and Bukit Panjang, Bangkit, Keat Hong, Pending and Southview LRT stations.

To improve ventilation where half-height doors have been set up, the LTA is installing fans. Work will be completed by the first quarter of next year.
