Future MRT/LRT lines

Just think... If LTA accepts all our plans the system map will look like the service map @ CBD...

This is a future map i took from google:

As the link says, it's a http://www.jasonchua.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/speculativemrt.jpg system map.

Speculative: theoretical, rather than practical

even i not train fan I still seen this pic long ago...

This map is definitely fake , the fonts are different.

This map is definitely fake , the fonts are different.

Its is very obviously fake, cos the person created himself. I remember him saying that this was his thinking of how it would be, means his own planning...

jerryonhere SG

I actually know who created this map. And there are also other people who make SPECULATIVE maps.

People, I SERIOUSLY do not see a need for you all to complain, and insult kawac151 here in this topic…

Wait, I know you guys like to bash such things as fake.

But I think it is REAL, but the working names might and will differs from actual one.

Currently, we have 118.9km of MRT lines excluding LRTs.

11km will be added with the opening of Dhoby Ghaut - Tai Seng in 17 Apr 2010.

The remaining of 19km, inclusive of Marina Bay Extension will be fully operational and added into our network of rails by 2012.

14km will be added with the opening of Tuas Extension in 2015.

40km will be added with the opening of Downtown Line in 2016 (Full Stage 1 to 3)

27km will be added with the opening of Thomson Line in 2018

And

21km of rail length will be added with the opening of Eastern Region Line in 2020.

We will have a total of 250.9km of rail route.

Source: Wikipedia and Newspapers (For the fact of the distance between Dhoby Ghaut - Tai Seng is 11km)

So what about LRTs?

Sengkang -- 10.7km

Punggol (Phase 1, excluding Punggol North Line) -- 10.3km

Expected length for Punggol LRT (Including Punggol North Line which has not built as of 2010 and that belongs to Phase 2 of Punggol LRT) -- 11.8km (Source)

Bukit Panjang -- 7.8km

Total -- 28.8km (Excluding Punggol North), 30.3km (Including Punggol North LRT)

So Grand total of MRT / LRT tracks by 2020: 279.7km, 281.2km (If Punggol North LRT was built by 2020)

Remember, LTA did mentioned that by 2030, the Singapore Rapid Transit's length will have a coverage of 540km.

So 540km - 281.2km = 258.8km, which is about almost the other half of the network is still unbuilt. So I believe, it is more or less true, despite speculation.

"Johore Line" will never happen. Provisions in JB Sentral only allow (for a metro) the Maglev system to ply 2 routes in JB only.

West Coast LRT? Iirc LRT in Singapore is only meant to serve as a feeder within neighbourhoods. And it's pretty absurd to have one running from Pasir Panjang all the way up to near King Albert Park. BRT can do the job better. Same goes for Jurong Region LRT.

Holland Line will be difficult west of Bukit Batok. It has to run under military restricted areas. Do note that Merlimau, Seraya and Sakra are locations in Jurong Island.

Punggol North Line will only consist of 4 stations after Teck Lee.

And where in the world can you have East Point station? If the train moves forward after Terminal 4, it will become a submarine to Batam and Bintan.

Ok, well points said. So, afterall, certain parts have proven wrong speculations instead (Such as PN 5 and Johore MRT, well --- there are even people who believe that one day IF Malaysian authority allows, the Thomson Line will extend to JB -- based on the positioning of the line.)

Jurong Region LRT is the coming LRT line, which I expect to be launched at about similar timeframe as PN LRT, but that is not a fiction line.

And some others while looked absurd, one must be sure that North Coast / Shore Line plying between Woodlands (Sembawang) - Yishun - Seletar - Punggol - Changi (Airport) can never hit 30km landmark.

By integrating CC1 - CC4 into Holland Line (HDL), another line that was mentioned in Concept 2001, then the numbering should changed as well, and Promendae should be CC1 in this case, which is unlikely. (And I do not believe HDL can hit 35 ~ 40km milestone, which is something comparable to Downtown Line / North South Line)

Furthermore, another line mentioned in Concept 2001 is Seletar Line (Look @ Seletar Airport, the govt. is promoting civil aviviation and Seletar Airport is not only about military base) and some mention of the developments until 2018 or sort of. I think, that Seletar Line is a NEL reliever (As mentioned by netizens as well), so I estimate the line length ranges from 20km to 25km.

So 281.2km + 25km (Seletar Line) + 40km (Holland Line, based on the map, it seemed to be overstated) + 30km (North Shore / Coast Line) = 376.2km

There are some major errors and outdated information of this map, sure, but I think by 2030, the complexity should be there because there is still a lack of 163.8km, which can be given as 4 ~ 5 more LRT lines (Each about 10km ~ 15km) and the remaining 80 ~ 90km can in turn into 3 ~ 4 medium length lines.

Nah.I don't mind. in fact, now that all of you mention it , it does look fake(since i found it in google,not create it.).

it's probably gonna be an engineering feat if we are able to reproduce that map decades later

recently heard some anti-mrt complaints especially cuz of no more new long-distance bus routes (since mrt is slowly overtaking the bus network) and the depth of the newer stations (which is rumoured that any deeper will 'crack' the island apart)

are there provisions made at dhoby ghaut CCL side to extend the line further? it'll be quite a difficult engineering task if they dont make provisions...hope to see them at harbourfront next year too as proof that stage 6 might be realised

I thought they scrapped JR LRT????? Finally back on the drawing board? If its true I think its rather late of them to do so. I feel that the west is not served as well as the east to the central part of S'pore...
