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, North East Line (NEL) and Bukit Panjang LRT.
