Circle Line, Singapore MRT
Author: mailer_diablo (Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported)
The Circle Line of the Singapore MRT is the fourth mass rapid transit train line in Singapore. When I created this page in May 2010, only 16.5 km of the line has been opened, with 16 stations.
As of 8 October, 2011, the section between Marymount MRT Station and HarbourFront MRT station (Stages 4 and 5 of the service) has gone into operation, bringing the number of stations on the Circle Line to 29. Of these, 28 stations are operational. The Bukit Brown MRT Station will not go into operation until its neighbourhood is more developed. The two other stations not yet linked to the Circle Line are the Bayfront MRT Station and Marina Bay MRT Station. The link is expected to be made in 2012.
When fully completed, the Circle Line will have 31 stations spanning a distance of 35.7 km, and will become the longest fully automated metro line in the world. The Circle Line is colour coded orange.
