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.

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.
