The upcoming stations will feature a range of facilities designed to enhance accessibility and safety for all commuters.

A comprehensive audio and visual announcement system will keep passengers informed about upcoming stops and important information. Emergency buttons and telephones will be readily accessible. Additionally, the elevators will be fitted with rubber kick rails to protect wheelchairs from damage, and the width of the elevator blocks will be sufficient to allow easy access for wheelchairs.
