Our extensive MRT system today begun
with only five stations on the North-South Line (NSL) connecting Yio Chu Kang to Toa Payoh in
1987. Though it started small, NSL was the first step in Singapore’s grand vision of an
integrated transport system.
The 27 stations along the 45km line serves a large number of mature residential estates and
takes commuters from Jurong East to Marina South Pier.
Along its route are eight interchanges that connect the NSL to the East-West Line (EWL), Circle
Line
(CCL), Downtown Line (DTL), North East Line (NEL) and Bukit Panjang LRT.
