yesss i remember one chapter of the chinese textbook saying that a boy was killed & his blood flowed down the hill, hence the name redhill. actually what's the difference between bukit merah & redhill? aren't they the same meanings?
Also one thing u didnt know about. The old green line trains had 13 beeps after doors closing. It was changed to 10. The newer lines trains have 8 beeps as in the end of the recording
one- north is named this way as it is situated within the one-north development which spans from AYE and all the way to the estate near Holland Village. It's all small letters and a hyphen due to the branding requirements by JTC.

And I'm asking this because I'm not Singaporean but I was wondering why Dhoby Ghaut station is named Dhoby Ghaut while its located at like Orchard Road?
@@hugeretartedsawas "Dhoby Ghaut or Dhobi Ghat (Hindi: धोबी घाट, IAST: Dhobī Ghāṭ) literally means washerman's place in Hindi, from dhobi, "washerman" or one that does laundry, and ghat, referring to a series of steps leading down to a body of water, as in the case of the Varanasi ghats by the Ganges. The Hindi term ghat passed into English usage during the British occupation of India, and was later anglicised to ghaut" (Wikipedia, 2020).
Actually it is more common (around me at least) to refer to/ name a locality after it’s nearest MRT station, than the other way round. ie. Even if LTA or whoever gives a completely random name to a MRT station, ppl will start referring to the immediate surroundings by that name ie. I refer to the HC/NY/NJC area as TKK now
Yeah not all MRT stations are located where the actual place is at. King Albert Park MRT is located like 1 bus stop before the actual King Albert Park for example
oh la la why isn't there another mrt station called the Surdpeecious station since mrt is so surdpeecious and haunted with train stations build over cemetries and mrt suicides..help😱😱😱🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬❤️❤️❤️
We have a station called Tan Kah Kee? Hot damn, mrt stations are multiplying faster than someone who doesn't believe in contraception. xD Can't keep up.
Why Singapore claim to be one of "Richest" countries GDP/other economic parameters, but majority got no option to drive/buy car. Unemployed Homeless Drug addict in other cities also got one bone shaker Ford/Buick/Chev to drive around, despite homeless. This is the RICH Country. Of course Sg might retort, aye, at least here everyone got HDB leh. To this logic/ mentality I graciously rest my case. It is precise because of this kind of apathetic citizenry that (deserves) this kind of public tpt set up. "YOU GET WHAT YOU TOLERATE" - Nugget for the Day. Good luck to MRT/CCTV nation, SG
It's a future station (that currently is just a shell station). It is named Hume and is located at the junction of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Hume Avenue. It is named after Hume Avenue and the condominium estate situated there. It is expected to open in 2025.

meanwhile all the primary school kids : REDHILL THE PERSON DIE ON THE HILL BECOME REDHILL Sicccc
There is also a station in London called "Redhill"
TheKindSoul TKS 8
ah yes got that from my chinese tb in P3 or P4 if I'm not wrong
Where the red word came, the person who died is red?
yesss i remember one chapter of the chinese textbook saying that a boy was killed & his blood flowed down the hill, hence the name redhill. actually what's the difference between bukit merah & redhill? aren't they the same meanings?
I used to thought that Yio Chu Kang and Choa Chu Kang named after a person who are related to Phua Chu Kang.
Lol
that is the only correct explanation
Road names are kinda weird like "Serangoon Road"
Dude 😂😂
& then one realises how far along the western end of Yio Chu Kang Rd Yio Chu Kang MRT station is
Also one thing u didnt know about. The old green line trains had 13 beeps after doors closing. It was changed to 10.
The newer lines trains have 8 beeps as in the end of the recording
It varies for every line; north-south and east-west lines have 11, north-east has 26 and so on. Only the newest line has 7 beeps
poteyatocheapp glad im not the only one who counts beeps
I only went to count after a friend of mine pointed it out to me lol
Lol... is it for real?never knew about it....
always though just beep random 🤣
and now the Thomson-East Coast Line has 7. Lmao
one- north is named this way as it is situated within the one-north development which spans from AYE and all the way to the estate near Holland Village. It's all small letters and a hyphen due to the branding requirements by JTC.
Bernard Teo this is what i’d always assumed too! any source for this?
The name in Chinese (纬壹) is also probably the only instance where Traditional Chinese (繁体) is used (壹 instead of 一)
one-north is named after the real estate building nearby the station

Still curious about one-north though🤔
Same
i heard that the station is exact at 1 degree north, hence the name....
@@AmberQi impossible, the entire Singapore is within 1degree10mins to 1dergee30mins
But why at portsdown and not at somewhere at like woodlands or Changi
NOTE: Downtown MRT station was named after Downtown Line where this station is on
hahahaha love the ending dudududududududu
Everytime i visit Singapore i love the MRT
Sames goes to Jurong Point Shipping Center in Boon Lay and its not in Jurong East MRT
Probably because jurong east is only the east side; jurong point can be anywhere in jurong

Thank you for make me remeniscing!
0:33 I was watching this when i was approaching tan kah kee
Awesome presentation.
Thank you for this information.
Now we know the story of these MRT stations
City Hall is my favorite MRT Station! I like it when they still say "City Hall Interchange" on the intercom haha good times
And I'm asking this because I'm not Singaporean but I was wondering why Dhoby Ghaut station is named Dhoby Ghaut while its located at like Orchard Road?

@@ucm1313 so why does the station has to be located there instead of let's say, the north part of Singapore or east?
@@hugeretartedsawas the area around the station was a traditional indian laundry so they named the station Dhoby Ghaut to reflect that
The area is also close to Little India so it makes more sense

not true is because there will be lots of St Andrew's floating around... St Andrew Secondary and JC etc?

Cool now I know why..on to my next trip there, need to book an airfare ticket online haha.
thankfully for the all those foreigners workers who built these places...

Fun fact:Dakota is where my school is at
-Tan Kah Kee- Tan Car Key✓
Three east four west
Thanks for the history class
Why there call yishun and sembawang ,woodlands, Chinatown, Little India,
dakota is also names in the dinosaur names 'Dakotaraptor'
Where have you found this station?
Wondering why woodleigh was woodleigh but not local name like bidadari. I perfer Bidadari which means fairy or angels.
Place of the name is easy for people to know so they can alight their destination. Who care the dam of the history.
Did anyone forget about Toa Payoh?
I've been in City Hall
And Commonwealth, that word is the country that been colonized by the British UK
lol the ending is funny
Ayyyy the first one Dakota
If these stations had a bio it will prolly be
“You know my name but you don’t know my story”
_"This is my story"_ Ugh those movies...
1:56 Question I’ve been meaning to ask but don’t have the courage…thanks!
Huh, no. Farrer Rd is nearer to Holland and Queenstown
Isn’t Dakota named after an air crash incident involving a “Dakota” plane, and not due to the majority of the “Dakota’s”found in the vicinity?
Perhaps the 'Dakota' planes were in-turn named after the Dakota tribe native to N America?
Surprised there isnt an Indiana station considering thats raffles's ship
dakota is inspired by the douglus DC3 and north dakota and south dakota
Hey *Mothership* i know *City Hall MRT Station*
Nice too... 👌👍
There is also Boon Lay and Yishun.
It say name after full name of a person , not name after a person.
I miss those sounds.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
FARRER ROAD empress market
Yishun is a name of person also
Lin Yi shun is the name
quite cool
Hey Mothership sg how about Woodleigh MRT Station?
Ayer Rajah or Portsdown were by far better names than one-north. =.=
how about canberra
Named after the road
Got smth to do with australia def

He needs to be hired LTA hire him please 🙏
The lamest one is redhill. Bukit merah got problem is it?
Yea theyre technically the same but i guess u can blame gahmen for naming one neighbourhood Redhill (nearer to MRT station) and the other Bukit Merah
Maybe LTA didn't want to mislead passengers into thinking that Redhill MRT was near Bt Merah bus interchange & town centre?
Broadrick is also in front of Dakota
But different name so funny
Aljunied is name after Ali aljunied

not every
only the new ones, and some that were built to be one in the earlier days (1970-1980's planning)
