The 16.6km long Downtown Line 2 (DTL2) comprises one depot and 12 stations, including three interchange stations at Little India, Newton and the Botanic Gardens. These 3 interchange stations will link to the North East Line (NEL), North South Line (NSL) and Circle Line (CCL) respectively, giving commuters greater accessibility to the rest of the island and significantly improving travel time.

DTL2 will bring greater convenience to residents living in Bukit Panjang and Bukit Timah as they can look forward to taking the train directly to city areas such as Orchard Road and Clarke Quay that are currently not linked to the Bukit Timah corridor by the rail system.

The DTL2 will offer commuters significant time savings. For example, the current one-hour journey from Bukit Panjang to the city centre will be reduced by a third - to approximately 40 minutes. DTL2 will also improve accessibility to other parts of Singapore as commuters can conveniently transfer to other MRT lines at the three DTL2 interchange stations.

DTL2 will also improve accessibility to other areas with these three interchange stations:
