Public Transport
MRT & LRT
As of January 2020, the MRT network encompasses 203 kilometres of route on standard gauge, with 122 stations in operation, spread across six lines set in a circle-radial topolog and with an average daily ridership of 3.384 million in 2019.
The network is expected to double to a total length of almost 400 kilometres by 2040 as a result of ongoing expansion works to its six existing lines and the construction of three new lines.
The network is complemented by a small number of local Light Rail Transit (LRT) networks in the suburban towns of Bukit Panjang, Sengkang, and Punggol that link MRT stations with HDB public housing estates, bringing the combined length of the domestic heavy and light rail network to 231.6 kilometres, with a total of 159 stations in operation.
