Providing the people with a safe, efficient and comfortable means of public transportation has been the cornerstone of LTA's land transport strategy. It is the Government's vision to make the rail network the backbone of Singapore 's public transport system.

LTA is responsible for the development of the rapid transit system and the expansion of the rail network.

Doubling of rail network by 2020

These new rail lines will cost us some $20 billion to build, over and above the $20 billion that government has already committed for the on-going Boon Lay Extension (BLE), the Circle Line (CCL) and the Downtown Line (DTL).

Together with the rail lines now under construction, the new rail lines will double our network from today’s 138km to 278km in 2020.

While construction on the Circle Line is still ongoing, works on the Boon Lay Extension had commenced in the second half of 2005. You can also find out more about the Downtown Extension, which will be built in tandem with developments around Downtown at Marina Bay.
