Singapore's MRT network: How has it evolved and what will it look like by 2030?

‘More than a day to bore through 10cm of rock’: Making Stage 2 of the Thomson-East Coast Line a realityThe 16-station North-East Line , which connects north-eastern Singapore to heritage areas and the city fringe, marked several firsts in Singapore’s rail history.

As the line serves growing neighbourhoods, many of its stations were designed to allow for future expansions to cater to the growing population. Builders faced challenges such as varying soil conditions, which posed safety and structural issues at Promenade and Nicoll Highway stations, and having to tunnel through a maze of existing tunnels and cables.

Commuters will enjoy a direct route between areas in the west - such as Pasir Panjang and Kent Ridge - and the Central Business District. Those living in Paya Lebar and Mountbatten will also get faster access to the HarbourFront area.Measuring 42km and covering 36 stations, the Downtown Line is Singapore’s longest underground and driverless MRT line.
