I think nowadays, the distance from MRT is overweighted to price the house value. To be frank, I seldom take MRT.
This morning just came back from city with daughter, I asked her: MRT or bus? MRT 15 minutes, bus 30 minutes. her answer was bus. as on bus she could comfortably sit, but in MRT, she could only stand in a pack of sardin all the way.
it seems I am not alone.
Only if there is convenient bus network, who really cares MRT? there is no MRT in Jn Bt Merah, it does not affect its value. In the past, there was no MRT in holland village, it was popular too.
