Metro of Singapore Asia / Singapore The Mass Rapid Transit is the metro system that gives transportation to the capital city of Singapore. It currently has five lines, which offer transportation to 106 stations distributed around the city via its 178.2 km long railway.
The trips in the MRT can be paid in many ways, including standard tickets, cards, and subscriptions. All of the metro’s lines are open to the public from 5:50 am until 1:00 am. It is possible to reach the airport by using the metro. Nowadays, Singapore has the busiest harbors in the world in terms of commerce. It also has a strong influence on the region. The country’s population is barely over five million people.
However, it receives approximately 10 million tourists each year. The Singaporean government did a survey during the 70s, and noticed the rapid increase in the number of tourists for such a small territory. Therefore, the Singaporean government took the decision of building a system of mass transportation. In 1983, the firm called SMRT Corporation began the construction of the Singapore Metro, which was renamed as MRT (Mass Rapid Transit). The system was built in stages, beginning with the North South Line.
In November 7th, 1987, the first line was inaugurated with only five stations, which had a six km long railway. Although the stations and trains were operational at this time, the official inauguration of this line was actually in March of 1988, with the opening of 15 stations. Two years later, SMRT Corporation inaugurated 21 additional stations.
Afterwards, the MRT got a significant expansion. It currently has 106 stations and a railway of 178 km in length.
Additionally, there are 13 stations under construction, and there are plans of building an additional 35 stations. Without a doubt, the Singapore Metro is a clear sign of the economic growth that the country got during the last decades. Metro stairs Lines and stations The MRT is comprised of five lines. The first line to open was the North South Line, which was inaugurated on 1987, and the last line to open was Downtown Line, which was inaugurated on 2013.
The MRT network is 178.2 km long. It offers transportation to the main urban and commercial areas of the city and is considered the backbone of the public transportation system in Singapore.
Also, the MRT allows connections to the bus services. The bus services act as a complement of the MRT by offering transportation to areas that have no access to the urban railway network. The lines are the following: North South MRT Line: The North South Line (abbreviated NSL) was the first line of the metro system in the country. It begins from the Jurong East station in the neighborhood of the same name, and ends at the Marina South Pier MRT Station in the new neighborhood of Straits View. It has 27 stations distributed in a 44 km long network.
Eleven of those stations are underground, while the rest are elevated via viaducts. The line is red in the metro’s maps. 
This fact is especially useful for the millions of tourists that visit the country each year. Going from one end of the line to the other takes around an hour. The trains in this line are comprised of six wagons each. MRT green and red lines East West MRT Line: The East West line was the second line to be constructed for the metro system, and was inaugurated on November 4th, 1989. The total length of this line’s railway is of 57.2 km, making it the longest route of the MRT.
