Like that how residents from North side go to work in Punggol/Sengkang and vice versa?

A link from Punggol to either Yishun/Canberra/Sembawang/Woodlands stn would be very convenient

might as well expand the road from seletar to yishun (which they are already doing now), and above won't be cheap as well and that entire section from above transiting to underground, can't be used for anything else, no?

of course will be convenient for people who stay in NE and work in North, but cost is a big factor bah.

yeah, isn't a waste, that entire stretch of land can't be used for anything else, but guess they don't have a choice.
