Midnight express

Ok the title is a misnomer... but anyway... here's a map of what our MRT system will look like, after the circle line and the bukit timah / marina bay / kaki bukit line are done. Thanks seng teck for the map!



If you haven't been reading the papers, the new line was just announced a couple of days back. Very good for me, expo station is within 3 bus stops of my house. Yay. Honestly, MRT is much much faster than buses (in fact, the speed is comparable to taxi), but if and only if there's a direct route.

And as we all know (even if you are not a real estate agent), MRT stations spur development and raise real estate prices. Can't wait for this tiny island to have a dense network of MRT like tokyo or london. Should also have LRT for routes with lower passenger density.

Lol my RE this year includes distance decay effect of bus travel and the role of buses as a medium-density (or maybe low-density) transport corridor.


Ok i'll end off with a pic that really needs no introduction. Thanks renyan.
