Singapore MRT Expansion
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Singapore has constructed six rail lines in just over thirty years. Its Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network continues to expand in length and area despite the pandemic, enhancing connectivity within the island.
Information is correct as of January 2021.
Opening dates for rail services from 2022 and beyond are to be advised due to possible delays brought about by COVID-19.
1:20 Correction: Bukit Panjang LRT opened on 6 November 1999. Sengkang and Punggol LRT and the opening of their stations were not animated in the video due to technical complications.
6:06 Disclaimer: Seletar Line’s colour, name and specific geographical route are mere speculations and have not been officially announced. However, plans have been announced to test the feasibility of the line.

I enjoyed watching the expansion of the Singapore metro! Nice work!

I was the one who bring you to this
*it's not called a metro*
**angery Singaporean noises**
You're video have one of the best and most creative prank i ever seen (Glassglow subway)
Singapore is a small city state not even the size of Tokyo or Shanghai, yet it boasts some large network
3 things I learnt
1) The circle line will finally be a circle
2) The cross island line will eventually cross the island
3) In 2040 the MRT map will be no different from a 3 year old's crayon artwork.
more like a much smaller version of the windows pipe screensaver to me
the circle line has been a circle since like what, last year?
@@SoberMustard no it has not connected on both ends
Lmfaooo
Finally, circle circle line
Damn, i didn’t even realise how new all these stations were. I was born 2001, MRT lines were like a given when i was a child, thx for enlightening me.
When I was growing up the only lines we had were NSL and EWL. The EWL western portion was built first.
@@andrewsitu3472 i bet yishun was the last stop?
@@waiyt6572 not to mention CCK was served by a branch line.
1987 to 2040? WHAT!?
Please 2021?
Cleanest version so far, if you ever make an update video, the branch line from JRE to CCK shld be brown at 1st, reflecting the actual line back then
Thank you for your suggestion!
Yes it known Branch Line..
@@SBSL-bf8cq Changi branch line???
@@mike-mx7kn no I say Jurong East to CCK
@@SBSL-bf8cq Choa Chu Kang?
east west line changi branch:exists
thomson east coast line: after all, why not
*why shouldnt i keep it*
Wait…
Anything after the Cross-Island Line is definitely gonna be subject to change
Singapore standard of progress is one of its kind. Long live Singapore.
@MS 92 still better than a bus i guess
@MS 92 what you want a plane to take you there?
sengkang and punggol lrt in this vid be like: "am i a joke to you?"
Bukit Panjang LRT is the superior LRT
Yep i was finding this comment about the LRT
Yh this video didn’t even mention their opening and existence
@@每日貪吃蛇-c3u that must be an error,I was thinking the same thing
@@每日貪吃蛇-c3u Exactly I live in Punggol LRT Cove
Rmbr my first ride from Amk to Dhoby Ghaut in 1988.....awesome how much it grown in more than 3 decades
as a singapore citizen, i can tell you that the mrt system is very important. if you need to go from anywhere in sg to anywhere else, mrt is the way to go for public transport. everyone uses it.
going from any point a to any point b in sg will take less than 2 hours using a combination of mrt travel and walking. buses are also great but are usually better for shorter distance travel
but other developed countries are way faster and have less breakdowns also more comfortable and spacious seating.
@@hidayat1999 but i live in singapore
@@_wetmath_ read his comment again.
@@hidayat1999 Which country? You have stats not? Europe and USA also developed country, you want to compare?
@@angyuexiangaaron maybe seoul, shanghai and hk
I worked in Singapore for 4 years. Their public transportation is one of the best I've ever seen in terms of coverage, accessibility and pricing. Truly a wonderful country.
A bus ride is a few cents which isn’t bad.
@@Trex3n20 a few cents? No way.
@@andrewsitu3472 Yeah, 50 cents-80 cents or even less.
@@andrewsitu3472 yea and it is free below certain distance
@@johnwig285 didn't know we have free transit zone in SG. I know Perth does.
In the end... its not just a scribble of random colours but a work of art for our MRT
Lmao i find u here too
@@iFAKERplayslol
Legends have it that CC18 Bukit Brown station & PW2 Teck Lee station are still closed in 2040...
Theres gonna be a school near Teck Lee, hoped the construction starts around these years
@@sweet813one :o
Looking forward to that hehe
damn😂😂every time I am on CC. I wonder why is CC18 still missing
@@jiaweiyu9150 Lol
@@sweet813one Bro, I can literally beat the LRT in a race from Sam Kee to Teck Lee. That's how near they are like wth is its purpose🤣😂.
Nice job! An improvement could maybe be the initial colours of the lines [prior to the 2001 revamp] being reflected ;)
I’ll consider doing that in a possible future video. Thanks!
And also consider how the Jurong East to Choa Chu Kang line was initially under the Branch line before merging with the North South line, helps explain why North South line extends till Jurong East
Singapore Map Extension Is Your Best Video!
why do i find it interesting learning abt the new mrt lines lol
1:51 NEL is the first line to be fully underground in Singapore
Sengkang depot isn’t underground I think:
CCL is the actual first one to be fully underground.
@@amogusman6227 Actually, it is if you are talking about the MRT station. If you include the LRT station in the depot, then Punggol (where I live) isn't underground either, although I don't see why you should include that as well in the first place.
@@SMBRProductions Well, he was talking about the entire line soooooo.
I hope I am still alive to witness the completion of all these plans. And if ever I am, I hope I am still based in Singapore.
Well, about 20 years
2019: first LRT station to shut down it's operations to made into a depot is Ten Mile Junctions.
TMJ was always the BPLRT depot.
One important note is the MRT interchanges outside the city centre. It’s not the case in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as you need to do so far inside the city centre.
I actually clicked on this thinking it was a "Metro Liner" video! The future predictions are Interesting, and I also find it interesting that you were able to somehow use the actual specific LTA fonts they use on their MRT signs and maps and such!
great video Mr. bananasolid! i've always been intrigued by MRT lines when I was young, as they post them next to the 2 people seats and I would look at them excitedly for some reason. this video has rekindled my love for mrt lines. thank you so much
I ag ree, Mr solid's video is really insightful. Thank you solid sir, I now have a new found passion and love for the Mass Rapid Transit system.
@@blebby9371 bukit canberra
@@dcyxd i ag ree with you fine sir
OOMGGGGG!!! DCYX!!!! SO COOL!!!!
Hi dcyx, thank you for your kind words! I will be posting another video soon, in the format of the design of the maps over the years as the MRT network grows :)
wow so many mrt line all over Singapore awesome good job Singapore👍🇲🇾❤🇸🇬✌
I do like how Singapore MRT metro system has expanded over the years and decades. Interesting.
Feels good watching this
DTL extending to NS line via a Sungei Kadut station definitely makes sense, it never sit right with me that a major line such as DTL has their transfer with an LRT (which nobody enjoys taking!).
Put MRT Lines Do not put MRT
Sungai Kadut station was always in the planning, hence there is a number skipped between YT and KJ. Wonder what NE2 on the NEL is reserved for though. I know NS12 is now used for Canberra.
I like taking the LRT
This is so well done!
Thank you!
Wah, now I take mrt so complicated… next time I take, even more complicated man!
This weirdly soothing and beautiful!
I don't know why I'm addicted to metros and trains
This deserves more views
I dont know why I needed to watch this but I did
At upper Changi road east they cut down 3 rows of trees and some minor forest for a station which is very empty and seldom used now. I wish I could turn back time. Was a much nicer place then, wasn’t so hot like it is now cuz there was less concrete then.
1987 to 2040 is very long by the way and singapore has gotten that long great job Singapore!!
this is making me feel like we need to take a picture of the current map because as the lines slowly advance and become more complicated the old map will never be seen again :( like a lot of stuff have changed since i was born on 2007 and some of the things changed so much then i cant even accept the changes like my house infront use to be full of trees and birds but now its turning into bukit canberra and i wont feel the same when i look out my window anymore
Nice work. Although I wish that you would have use maybe 1 sec per month as a clock tick for running the animation and mot zoom into the development. The would have introduce a sense of time to the video. It would have made obvious the long duration between the completion of the East-West line and the next line several years after that.
Finally i get to see what the actual MRT line looks like instead of the ones i keep on seeing from the MRT station and SMRT Website.. so, the "Circle" line was actually not so circle after all, i believed that at some point.
if you believe hard enough it can be a circle lol...at least for me
4:17
TEL and DTL 9 months later: 🤰
Fantastic animation! If you do make a future video, I suggest you also include the construction of the RTS
Also include the Sengkang Punggol LRT line opening date.
Also Including the opening date of every LRT station for Sengkang and Punggol LRT line.
I'm pretty sure the RTS got cancelled
@@jsnoob7069 The High Speed Rail was cancelled. The RTS however has been given the green light and construction has started
Excited about the speculated "Seletar Line".
Video was very informative and was really well animated!
Ten Mile Junction LRT station:
*Where did I go?*
Instead of a Seletar line, I'd prefer to see the CRL Punggol branch extended to link up with the TEL at WLS via Yishun.
Very nice video! I am looking forward to visit Singapore very soon!
JRL is above ground and served only Jurong regional. The asset enhancement to derive from the JRL, definitely won't be as high as the other lines.
2041: West Coast Extension JRL - West Coast CRL (1 Station)
2042: Tuas South Extension Joo Koon/Gul Circle - Tuas South (2 Stations)
2045: Kampong Bahru Opens Between HarbourFront and Outram Park
2046: Seletar Line Phase 2 Opens Greater Southern Waterfront - Haw Par Villa (5 Stations)
2049: HSR Opens Singapore - Kuala Lumpur
2050: Cross Island Line Seletar Airport Extension Opens Punggol - Seletar Airport (3 Stations)
2056: River Valley Opens Between Orchard And Great World
2060: Alexandra Opens Between Redhill And Queenstown
2063: Bukit Merah Opens Between Tiong Bahru And Redhill
2064: Tagore Opens Between Springleaf And Lentor
2070: CRL Paya Lebar Extension Defu - Farrer Park (CYL)
MRTS are the best investments ever. Even after 30 years they are still paying for themselves, they allow the ordinary people like me to reach other places almost as easily as a car sometimes.
They are not paying for themselves. Downtown line has been operating at a loss since opening. It's difficult to have a profitable rail system.
@@zo3478 how do you know? Where can I find more stats? Yea I feel that downtown line is underutilized
@@CheeKiatTeo hence the removal of bus routes 171 and 700 from the CBD.
@@zo3478 public transit is meant to be running at a controlled loss.
why was it built so much faster back then compared to now it took them so many years to open woodlands north to woodlands south
Solid video la, been looking for a video like this
I was born few years before the 1st station. Dunno if i would be alive to see the last.
waiting for the underwater line - won't that be one awesome view !!!!
Can add the Tuas south extension of the EWL to Tuas mega port and tuas south too! :D
it got cancelled.... sad. now got 2 empty platforms at gul circle
Everybody’s house be like is this vid a joke to me?!?!
fantastic job! can't wait to finally stop riding/driving.
lol ? never happened, the squeeze is still there , to go certain place still take more time then a car/bike
@@sdqsdq6274 I'm in my late 40s. Time does not bother me anymore and safety is my upmost priority
Actually it’s quite a beautiful thing going into retirement and going station hopping with your the other half… cheap and easy… everyday visit a couple of places :)
Singapore has some great developments coming soon
Nice work animation
I give you a tip
6:12 new Future Line most likely ends to Prince Edward Road MRT cause it has stacked platform
I like the fact that the mtr and mrt have to stations that share the same name
@@Tobu9105F Admiralty also
Great job in the art direction.
hey as a singaporean i prefer this version over the new one you made! can see where exactly the rails are on the map of the country! the other video was super well made too and is better for international viewers
One more changes Tel stage 3 will only open in 2022 from Stevens to Gardens By the Bay 11 stations because Mount Pleasant and Marina South stations will open in tandom in future.
thank you edmund very cool
Ok
thanks edmund
7th MRT Line - Jurong Region Line
8th MRT Line - Cross Island Line
9th MRT Line - Seletar Line
10th MRT Line - Paya Lebar Region Line
11th MRT Line - Lim Chu Kang Line
I wish we all get to live till 2040 so we can all ride the Seletar Line :)
Yes
Finally i am happy that West part has Atleast 2 transportation for MRT :)
Finally you did the mrt
The Seletar line would be really helpful as it connects to Seletar airport. Right now you need to get a bus or walk once you reach the closest station near the North East
Seletar airport can be served by the CRL Punggol branch being extended to WLS on TEL.
Such a small country but so mrt lines 😵💫 see also seh but no complaints its accessible for us ❤️🔥
Waiting for the Circle Line to become a full circle...
The proposed Coney Island Line (CIL) is left out. To start in 2040. Future HDB estate in Coney.
Although its not part of singapore, but it will be fascinating to see Bukit Chagar on the map as well.
Btw that Gul Circle - Tuas Link tho was actually on my birthday 2017
Can’t believe a solid banana made this
Great video!
Brickland maybe placed as
6A or reformat entire line making MSP NSL29
And brickland 4ns
i love the animation ❤️❤️
Never mention Sengkang and Punggol LRT line opening year…???
2003 and 2005
@@ethanang3527 no, he means he didnt mention those in the video. im pretty sure Sam Chia alr knows when they opened
fun fact: the reason why the mrt takes so long from khatib to yck is because they wanted to build disneyland along lentor avenue (the super long road). they planned to build a disneyland mrt station in between, but gave up the idea when hong kong launched their own disneyland in 2005
also if you think everything ive said is false, search it up yourself. they actually wanted to build disneyland in f*ing yishun
I guess they gave up for another reason. Greenery?
Part of it was probably cost issue as well
When Tagore develops even more the plans may reinstate
Seletar line:MOVE OUT THE WAY IM RUSHING!!!!
This is amazing I love it, it felt like I was watching a metro liner video! What software/app did you use for this
Quite excited for Cross-Island line cause it will have eight-car trains
Nice job btw can you make a Hong Kong version?
@bananasolid, what app did you use to make your MRT videos? They are really cool, btw. ❤
you should do Bankok subway
And who knows where we're going next? Jurong Region Line, Pan-Island line, etc.
Pan-Island line??
Wow, There is a a Seletar Line? Cool!
This info video should be done by MOT or LTA…. Sorry you were not paid by them. Can add Sengkang LRT(2003) and Punggol LRT (2005). 🤣🤣
Interesting to see the line density in the east seems to be much higher than the west.
The east is more populated and developed (extent, not quality) than the west. We still have military installations, industries, some farms and that huge lim chu kang cemetery in the west.
I think NSL 2Future station may open before 2030 while DTL sungei kadut
May not happen
The seletar line seems really excessive. Of course you never know the demands in the future, but let's not forget we have buses too!
Maybe bro. The line starts around Woodlands North so it serves people staying & working from or to Woodlands North, Woodlands East, Senoko Industrial Estate, North of Sembawang, Edge of Canberra, New Yishun development near Yishun Dam, Selatar Aerospace Park, Selatar Private Estate?, Serangoon Garden Estate?, Toa Payoh East, Whampoa Estate. Let see how it goes
I thought downtown line 1 opened in 2017! Wow
Is there even going to be enough space :0
Great job!
When a small city state needs so many lines:
Nice job!!!!!!
It looks like the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront will be served by 3 MRT Lines
seems like a waste
This is like it is edited by apple
missed out punggol and sengkang lrt…
In the future want to go mama shop also have mrt already
I wish I could time travel 200 years later, to see the expanded MRT network. I would guess Lim Chu Kang area would be redeveloped by then, and would have MRT line in that region
Other Corrections: You did not mention the Punggol and Senkang LRT
3:04 Marina Bay extension (Circle Line) moves for no reason
3:58 Dates stop mentioning starting from here
3:58 because thats a future...
*Sengkang
Awesome Video, just curious what animation software did you use?
Mainly Adobe Illustrator & After Effects. The former more suited for creating vectors and graphics while the latter is good for making animations
Should I be kind of worried that the Cross Island line goes under central catchment are they going to do the same thing to Central catchment as they did to Tenga Forest?
