power is never confused.
it works instantly in conductors.
power is neither mental nor physical.
its natural and in control of infinitely insular spectrum. will be in few, depending on them. not on any exstentials & knowledge.
it can't be transfered between creatures.
exclusive from existence.
but mankind & womankind are caught to fucking, civilizations, religions & regions on earth, thinking their bodies are miraculous than the others. its a constant joke to me.
Visited very frequently for about 10 years pre covid its very efficient and sounds amazing
so glad you did a video on my amazing city! you should have maybe mentioned the plan to have express services on the cross island line though, would definitely put our system on a level with tokyo and nyc in such an aspect.
I always wonder, why downtown line feels so old, although it's fairly a newly build line.
What happens of you drop something in the gap of the mrt door
3:55 That's really convenient for switching lines in both directions
The thomson east line stage 3 has opened
The Downtown Line’s loop is fascinating.
The Good news is that Singapore SMRT 🇸🇬 Thomson East Coast line has opened 11 more stations 🚉 3rd phase.
The Raffles/City Hall with different cross plattforms can also be found in Stockholm at T-Centralen, Gamla Stan & Slussen. Very smart!
Well we made the train th-
Having lived in Hong Kong and Taipei for a good amount of time, the most impression thing about the the Singapore system is the amount of interchange stations. The system definitely benefited from superb city planning so it doesn't feel like there's a funneling of traffic to commercial areas like there is in HK, which is limited by geography – namely Kowloon Pennisula and the narrow strip of developed land on the island. That being said, I was actually much more impressed with SG's bus system, which is probably the best I've experienced anywhere in the world. Full Integration with Google Map and fully featured bus stops plus a lack of unpredictable schedule due to non-existent traffic problem. Again, this all stems from a fundamentally aware and superb city planning.
I live in Singapore
I used to live in singapore and in my opinion their metro is cool
There is also sestona express
Since SMRT and SBST operate both bus and train LTA has a rule that If you are awarded 1 train package you lose 1 bus package
Its neigboring countries also got as long length of subway as Singapore (KL&BKK) hope you consider add this 2 cities too.
When the North South Line opens back in 1987, it starts from Marina Bay and STOPs at Yishun with only 15 stations. All the other stations like woodlands were only added (Extended) later in the late 90s
Me who casually thought that the North South Line was the most heavily used:
"W o w."
More stations along Thomson -East Coast Line opened .
Stops every 30 seconds, and filled with people like a sardine can.
👀
Thank you very much for putting effort in pronouncing the names of landmarks, stations and estates the way they should be pronounced. Its greatly appreciated.
London TFL wishes they can be that good compared to Singapore MRT
Been to singapoor every year since 2017 for a week or so, each time I ride there was new headache. The ticket is flimsy and token still being use while the rest of the world use touch less tech. Best in the world? Perhaps not! I think it is textbook case for being over-faking-rated.
Did you know that the Bukit Panjang Line Used to have a 14th stop at Ten Mile Junction? Well, unfortunately it shut in 2019.
Sbs is owned by the government
Everyone should be made to ride in Singapore's MRT to get them to appreciate how important a good metro system is to a city.
I am a British Expat living in Singapore and Here pretty much everything is modern, Luxury and futuristic.
17:55 How is tunneling a bad thing? Genuinely asking. I suppose it’s expensive, but aside from that, I’d have imagined: 1) it provides grade separation, 2) allows for a line to be built under existing buildings and parks, etc., 3) causes less environmental impact by lessening the need to clear large pathways through nature, and 4) avoids n.i.m.b.y. issues by hiding the trains out of sight. What are the problems with tunneling? Is it just cost—in money, labor, and time? Or is there something else which isn’t occurring to me?
The easiest and most compfortable rapid transit network I've been able to use.
5:30 I'm not joking, that's the reflection of my father sleeping on the mrt, it's such a coincidence!!
4:21 peak period RP/CH is amazing, huge crowds of office folks running across the platform to change lines. truly an interesting sight. Same at Jurong East – the other red/green interchange. It's 4 tracks in parallel, with platforms in between. Not uncommon is people running from the leftmost train, into the next train on the left and out on the right, and then proceeding to the 3rd train.
I rided singapore,s subway at new years of 2015 lile 9 years ago dude it was so great it must be so much better now? 😅
With these type of planned extensions, I don't see why a car would be needed to get anywhere in Singapore. It seems to be all connected by rail.
What is the best time to take the train at less crowd?
Thank you for an excellent and well-balanced video on the Singapore MRT system and its expansion plans!
The Jurong Region Line was originally proposed in 1996 as a light rail transit (LRT) system to serve the Nanyang Technological University. It was officially announced as a new LRT line – the Jurong Region Line (JRL) – in 2001. This plan was put on hold in 2008, and revived in 2013 as an MRT line rather than as an LRT line.
In the context of the Singapore transit system, LRT refers to the rubber-tyred people mover systems serving Bukit Panjang, Sengkang and Ponggol. The redefinition of the JRL as an MRT line in 2013 simply meant that it would not be like these existing LRT lines using people mover systems.
The JRL would instead be based on a conventional standard gauge 1435 mm system, as used by the existing MRT lines. However when the JRL system details were announced, it was clear that there were significant differences from the existing MRT lines.
Some of these differences seemed to characterise the JRL as less of a heavy rail MRT line and more like a medium capacity rail line. The entire JRL track would be completely elevated with exclusive right of way. Due to the tight curves necessary to fit into an already built-up environment, the JRL cars were to be shorter and narrower than the cars in the existing MRT lines.
The JRL cars were to be supplied by Hyundai Rotem and would be run as three-car sets. The dimensions of each car were a length of 18.6m and a width of 2.75m. The car width is significantly narrower than for the existing MRT lines whose cars are typically 3.2m wide. A width of 2.75m is close to the typical light rail car width of around 2.7m.
The RTS Link under construction between Woodlands in Singapore and Johore Bahru is a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system distinct from the Thomson-East Coast MRT line to which it links. The RTS uses light rail cars 27m which have a width similar to the JRL cars.
Hence the JRL cars are more similar to LRT cars than to the existing MRT cars. The JRL is in effect a medium capacity rail system significantly different from the existing heavy rail MRT systems, and more like a light rail system with elevated right of way. Construction work for the JRL began in January 2023, and the first stations will commence operation in 2026.
I got to say that indeed Singapre has one of the best and efficient public transport system. Within a period of 10 years, there was a massive improvement in efficiency and network. Is really convenient. Can have a combination of bus and train as well.
The Thomson-East Coast Line is all the way to Gardens By The Bay nowadays
Fun fact : Marina Bay is currently the only tri-line interchange station that has one single operator (SMRT)
I don't think thats the Cross island line.
Hmm . Last time i checked , our government still debating weather or not should the line cut through the central or go around it
Bro sounds like a robot. 💀💀💀
Watching this video in transportation systems class at uni. Well done.
