The Singapore rail network
Today, more than 130 stations across six MRT lines span the island. This 200km system has over three million daily ridership. In addition, there are more than 40 stations across two LRT lines and this 28km system has over 200 thousand daily ridership. More networks are being built to further expand rail coverage.
Complementing the rail system are the two Light Rapid Transit (LRT) systems in Bukit Panjang, and Sengkang and Punggol, which acts as a feeder service that brings commuters closer to their homes.
The train system is currently run by two public transport operators – SMRT Corporation Ltd (SMRT) and SBS Transit (SBS).
Since 2018, some 200km of sheltered walkways have been added island-wide as part of the Walk2Ride programme. Pedestrians can now enjoy a sheltered walk within 400m from all MRT stations and within 200m from bus interchanges, LRT stations and selected bus stops with high commuter volumes.

"Properties along these 11 stations at Stevens, Napier, Orchard Boulevard, Orchard, Great World, Havelock, Outram Park, Maxwell, Shenton Way, Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay are expected to see an upside in their prices as the fully underground Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL) is an important MRT line that connects to all other MRT lines (except LRT lines) running across the whole of Singapore" said real estate consultant Kiwi Lim from Huttons Asia.
