6. D
7. C
8. B
9. A
10. C
11. B,D only if the user selects "A" in Qn 4.

Comment:
1: This can be a difficult question. Hint: Some of the option (Option A) is one of the option used in a quiz of MRT CD shelter in one of the open house held previously.

2: It is the only LRT station with aircon and full PSD. I cant remember the partial PSD on Sengkang still exist or not (That was reported to have it bulit as it was too squeezy on peak hours).

3: Erm, I purposely did not set this as a trick question that have one option of Buangkok MRT's opening date, which is Jan 15 2006.

4: This question is way too difficult. In Street Directory of 2005, there is a Chinatown Exit B shown. I had confirmed with the station'staff on the time of writing regarding Exit B which he said there is no such exit in Chinatown. The possible location of "Exit B", based on that street directory is somewhere next to a bridge, which is opposite of the UOB bank using the Zebra crossing there. (I had observed that there is a fire hose that states Chinatown, Outram Park Southbound sort of.) Clarke Quay does not have Exit D as of writing, not even mentioned on the same street directory (I can show it to you now).

5: Right now, the Punggol LRT only consists of first phase (Excludes Punggol North Line, which I am preparing such questions on my next quiz) which has only 10.3 km long. Sengkang LRT has 10.7km long instead of 10.5 km. Wikipedia has such answer.

6: Wikipedia has such answer in case if anyone don't believe.

7: Proof: [url][/url] and Wikipedia

8: Wikipedia has such answer in case if anyone don't believe.

9: CSR Sifang Locomotive. This is our first case of having Made in PRC trains. Well, we have Yutong Bus in SMRT, no doubt SMRT will buy trains in China. So prepare for more tiong products! (SMLJ!!?? -- WTH!? Yep, it successfully created controversy in the question :D). This can be found in Wikipedia.

10: This IS a trick question. 66 C151 trainsets was built and 396 train cars were used as part of the 66 trainsets for passenger service AND 4 C151 train cars was built as money train (To collect and transport fares collected in MRT stations). Hence the answer is 400. Wikipedia has such answer. PS: How come NEL does not have money train or was the train sets are served with dual purpose? Yes, 132 train cars IS going to built for C151A.

11: Please refer to Question 4 for comments. All the other 3 options has no skipped exits.

Comment:
1: Wikipedia has such answer.

2: Wikipedia has such answer.

3: Based on the image on DT27, if that is confirmed going to have 3 tracks, we will have 2 undeground stations with 3 tracks. The other 3 track station on underground is Paya Lebar (Circle Line)

4: Yew Tee is the one of the most North Western station. Hence, unless there is a "Lim Chu Kang" or "Neo Tiew" station built in future, there is no answer for this.

5: Pasir Ris. It is the most North Eastern station you can go from Changi Airport within 5 stations.

6: Marina Bay was opened on 4 November 1989 and became terminus ever since (Unless can be proven Marina Bay is NOT terminus from the day it opens), Boon Lay was opened on 6 July 1990 until 28 February 2009 where Joo Koon replaced its position, Yio Chu Kang was opened on 7 November 1987 and became terminus until 20 December 1988 where Yishun had taken its place, Tanah Merah was opened on 4 November 1989 and became terminus until 16 December 1989 when Tanah Merah - Pasir Ris sector was opened. That has only hold a record of 42 days and became terminus on July 22 2003 only when Changi Airport branch was arranged as a shuttle service.

7: Wikipedia has the answer.

Side notes I wished to comment:

For Question 4 about travelling North West in 10 stops, even I changed the answer to 9 stops, Joo Koon is not the answer because it travels by South West.

Also, for Question 5 on 5 stations after Changi Airport in North East direction, why Eunos is not the answer because it travels by North West.

Thank you for attempting my quiz :D
