Dhoby Ghaut is the deepest underground
rail hub with five basement levels. It was constructed at a whopping
28 metres below ground!

Modifications were made to the older stations to cater to the
needs of all commuters, including the elderly and handicapped.
The Station Upgrade project to retrofit existing MRT stations with barrier-free facilities was completed in August 2006. A total of 75 lifts were installed at 47 MRT stations along the North-South and East-West lines. Stations were also made more disabled-friendly with the erection of ramps, toilets for the disabled, handicapped drop-off points and a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.


The stations on the NEL boast some of the most unusual and futuristic
architecture and design.
Clarke Quay station's telescope-like, red-tiered
roof.

The Serangoon station is marked by a
triangular glass structure encased by an open, cube-like structure.
There are four such structures painted in different colours to
indicate four entrances. One common thread in the design of the
stations is the prominent display of thematic artwork.


Designed with the needs of commuters in mind, these new trains
are fitted with wider seats for better back support, wheelchair
spaces and more standing space with grab poles.



The stations' designs are guaranteed to tantalise your visual
taste buds.
Lending a slick, modern appeal are two spaceship-like roofs suspended
over the Expo Station.

The Changi Airport Station was made to match
the class and stature of its award-winning namesake. A soft glow
emanates from the 140m mezzanine bridge that links Terminal 2
and the future Terminal 3. The twin atria, curtain-walls made
from tempered glass panels, allow natural light into the underground
station.


Commuters can be assured of a comfortable and safe journey on
the LRT.
