Just talking about the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) trains that once linked Singapore and states in Malaysia would probably bring back great memories. Whilst many of the current generations only recall commuting to the neighbouring country by bus or car, these trains were a hit back in the day. Moreover, they significantly reduced the amount of time needed to undergo customs alongside the endless traffic jams.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the 108-year-old train service ceased its operations in July 2011. Today, the 24 km-long train tracks are being converted to the Rail Corridor \u2014 also known as the green corridor. More so, the corridor aims to create an eco-friendly and accessible walking trail whilst allowing families to reminisce about the former railway stations.<\/p>\n
Read on, and we’ll shed some light on the walking route along with the newly opened 4KM Corridor stretch between Hillview and Bukit Timah.<\/p>\n
