Singapore MRT Map Expansion

  • Опубліковано 2 січ 2022
  • As the Singapore rail network continues to expand, its visual representation in the form of System Maps has to change to fit new lines and stations while maintaining a clean look. Watch how the System Map has evolved four times in more than 30 years since the opening of the first stretch in 1987.
    Proposed future lines and line extensions and their interchanges are speculations based on locations and alignments of soil investigation works. As of December 2021, no official announcement has been made on the exact route alignment. These lines are denoted as dotted strokes in this video.
    The dates for the commencement of rail services from 2022 are to be advised. Names, station codes and colours of future lines and stations are to be announced.
    Map History:
    0:00 Version 1 - 1987
    2:03 Version 2 - 2001
    4:18 Version 3 - 2013
    6:07 Version 4 - 2020

    It's not just watching a public transport system grow and change is it? It's watching a culture/polity/nation grow and change to meet the challenges of a new and emerging world. Every frame, every new station, is an expression of the cutting edge of that emerging world

    I love how the present-day (2022) is just slightly after the halfway mark; in a way, it's symbolic of how much the MRT network has grown, and how much it still has to grow.
    You've done an incredible job sticking as close to to the official styles used by the LTA as possible.

    I love the way this video was presented! Very very pleasant and entertaining to watch! How I wish Singapore can build more mrt tunnels and be among the countries with the longest railway tunnels, a great honor to Singapore. How I wish to see mrt going to the different islands too in the future like Semakau, Tekong, Bukom, Jurong Island, etc.
    There are still so many mega projects Singapore is capable of doing! What a great country! 👏👌👍

      NE2 has most likely been canceled and the station code may be given to Outram Park instead, since there’s no use for the station to be built when the CCL will be serving the same area when the extension opens.
      We may even see a whole network station code rework in the future as many more infill stations & extensions are being added as well. (might happen right before the next Map Redesign or before the Seletar/Central line finalises.)

    Today is 24th April 2024. Here is what at least I have heard as of now:
    - TEL Stage 4 has been handed over to SMRT by LTA. They are currently doing final testing to prepare for the station opening. Grand opening has been planned on 23rd June 2024, with a public preview on 21st June.
    - Over the past 4 months, CCL has been running shuttle service between Labrador Park and Harbourfront to facilitate connection works between Harbourfront and Marina Bay stations. This is only my guess, but there could be a possibility that the Circle Line could finally become a full circle, earlier than scheduled. (aka the Singapore Yamanote Line, lol)
    - JRL construction (early stages) is currently in full force around the Boon Lay, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong East, Bukit Batok and Tengah areas. Supporting pillars are currently being constructed in many of these areas, and for Tengah area, they are constructed in the middle of new roads, currently closed off to traffic. It seems that the MRT tracks and stations are constructed alongside new developing HDB blocks and should be ready simultaneously in the future.

    Seletar Line will not gonna be name like that. It could be something else. Just like the Circle Line. It was previously known as the Marina Line. @ZC mention about it. But they will change the name of the new MRT 2040. I still called it MRT 2040 because they havent announced the name yet.

    I am amazed at how Singapore MRT grew. I came and study in Singapore because my dad helped make the Nort-East Line and Circle Line projects. Back then, there were just North-South and East-West Line. The animation and future projects are simply exciting for me. Thank you so much.

    Firstly, this animation is smooth as heck I love it. It respects the timeline while showing the opening of every station in a sleek way.
    Secondly, I CANT WAIT TO TRY THE NEW TRAINS OMGGG especially RTS that will be soooo pog oh my god.
    Imagine going from Hougang to Marina Bay in a jiffy I seriously can't wait
    Lastly, whoever is coming up with the station names for the newer and future stations need a raise they sound so badass
