The MRT Blue line has been operating since Sat 21 Sept to Lak Song as a through service on a normal schedule but only until 11pm - still as a free trial service.

The official opening will still happen this Sunday 29 Sept when full fare collection will begin.

(The remainder of the Blue Line extension from Tao Poon to Tha Phra will open in March 2020.)
