If rely on public transportation only have bus service so indeed quite inconvenient for now.
Canberra MRT Station will be a game changer. Canberra's BTO price before and after LTA's announcement have significant difference.
As I have mentioned previously this is the early mover advantage.
Resale price easily double after MOP but only for those estates within 500m to MRT Station. Eastlink I w/ Canberra Plaza (Neighbourhood Centre) will huat the most!
In Singapore it is not easy to buy a BTO flat at MRT Station doorstep. Once sell very hard to get such a bargain in one's lifetime. 10 stops to Orchard MRT Station (direct).
