Getting around Singapore is a breeze with the MRT. The four main lines move commuters along the North-South, East-West, North East Lines, and around the city fringe through the Circle Line.!!SMRT operates the North-South Line which runs from Marina Bay to Jurong East via Woodlands, the East-West Line which runs from Pasir Ris to Joo Koon, and the new, fully-automated Circle Line that links residential areas at the fringe of Singapore’s city centre, to the Marina Bay area and the city centre itself. Singapore’s other transport operator, SBS Transit runs the North-East Line. This line connects the newest residential areas in Punggol and Sengkang to the city centre. Seamless transfer is available to all four main lines, so you can reach almost any part of Singapore, the moment you step onto an MRT train.!!Upon completion of the fifth main line, called the Downtown Line in 2017, Singapore will be linked by an intricate train system that makes every corner of the island state accessible.!!Singapore has the world’s #a Cost-Effective Public Transport System!Getting around Singapore is very cost-effective, compared to other countries.
