Proposed MRT Lines

For those who are interested in the future of our MRT, I have gotten a map of the proposed MRT lines from Citigroup. Quite interesting to see how the roads are linked up. However, whether is it a reality I have no idea. :) (Click on the image for a bigger map)


Based on the map, it does seem that most towns will be linked to the rail. My idea of an ideal transport system would be all the major town centers are linked by MRT, and all town centers MRT stations double up as bus terminals. Buses will service the town area with no more than 8mins of waiting time. If something goes wrong with the MRT, buses can be deployed to ferry passengers between bus terminals, which is also a MRT station.

This is my ideal transport system, and it should connect the whole of Singapore. However, this would require a radical change to the current setup now. Oh well... It doesn't hurt to dream.

For some reason when I look at the map, I see similarities between the Japan JR line and this map. Hmmm...
