  • Singapore has constructed one of the world’s best rapid transit systems in the world. With over 216 kilometers of track length and serving an annual average of 1.2 billion people, Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit is one of the region’s best metro systems. Several prominent journals even named it the most extensive driverless system in the world.

    It is not a either MRT or Bus system. Singapore has an excellent first class bus system too to complement the rail system. It is clean, efficient and goes to like every nook and corner of SIngapore.

      Yes, you are correct! Most trains are designed to have higher speeds but they're limited due to several reasons(e.g. regulatory laws, safety, etc.).

      @@BehindAsia Maybe you have to release your source of information.All trains have a driver mode.It is whether the train operator wants to use staff or not.Often in certain places where prayer is more important such as five times in a day in prayer rooms that have long corridors there is shortage of time.So the trains are left to run by themselves hoping they will not knock into each other.Recently there was a case where two trains collided inside a tunnel.So what will you choose?A driverless train like a headless chicken or a dedicated driver train system.The choice should be reasonable.

      Singapore's MRT systems are all subways, they go underground. The first line began operations in 1987. Now there are 5 lines with 2 more under construction/planned. Manila is like more than 34 years behind and now only started building its first subway to be completed in a few years time.
