🚇 MRT / Singapour

The Singapore MRT : Mass Rapid Transit

A very high quality public transportation. The most modern of the world.

This is a full high quality subway in the Singapore-City.

This is a full high quality suburban train (S-Bahn, RER) in the Singapore-Island.

Quais centraux

• Station moderne à quai central comme en Allemagne, mais inconnus en France.
• Quais centraux optimisés pour les déplacements, les flux, la sécurité, les équipements.
• Hauts plafonds très agréables.

Portes palières (permet la climatisation et l'absence de courant d'air; ça ne sent pas mauvais comme à Paris). On notera l'extreme propreté à Singapour.

Fundamental characteristics of a sub-urban train :

(le RER, die S-Bahn)

Inside the city :

• The MRT-networks contains big very important underground stations in the city-center.
• All MRT-lines go through these stations in the city-center (also the new circular line).
• All the central stations are in underground.

Outside the city :

• The MRT-lines go to all other places of the Singapore-Island.
• The MRT-lines are outside the city-center on surface. Very good in Singapore: without any cross with the other-surface vehicules (like car, bus, other train, pedestrians)

The TVs in the stations display informations about the train, but also about the security : low criminality doesn't mean no criminality, and more generally they invit people to be carefull on possible bombs from terrorists...

Short historical information about the city: the island was empty in 1800. The english took it and created a Harbour. In order to develop the industry, they let people immigrate massively... and now 80% of the people are chinese, 20% indian. Now, the richest and biggest harbour and country of the region. From the people, Singapore is essentially chinese... but this has nothing to do with the country China.
