And this is also why they built so many BTOs along Yishun Ave 8, Canberra North, and the upcoming new towns of Sembawang North and Woodlands North. All very ulu (for now).

Thats very large tract of cheap state land to exploit.

I suspect this time they are considering Malaysia style LRT lines already, that are lower capacity, yet same 80km/h operating speed as our MRT lines, and also got go underground one (Kelana Jaya Line).

Reason: Tengah Line actually quite close to existing MRT lines. Seletar Line also. Most probably no need so many redundant capacity.

Weird leh...

Why so much focus on the Greater Southern Waterfront?

Thought they said wants to make Jurong the next CBD? Moving most if not all public sector organisations over?

They scrapping the plan or what?

Instead of MRT lines and some memorial sites, focus more on building HDB?

Isn't Seletar Line the scraped Northshore Line?

Why they up till now don’t like North to east direct…….. ( Woodlands > Semb> Yishun > Punggol > Pasir Ris / Tampines) vice versa

Currently fully rely on bus services

JRL carriages are meant for sharp turns.

E.g. Pandan Reservoir MRT towards West Coast Road.

If it can turn into NUS via the central library towards the Science faculty, it can essentially capture the entire Jurong, Bukit Batok and West Coast student population studying in NUS.

Guess is outside of campus.

I want to learn and understand more of what you're trying to say, so please explain how different SG is from Dutch and Nordic cities such that the same proven concepts applied there, to varying degrees, can't be applied here.
Add in Tokyo and Osaka too. Not really known as cycling cities, but known for train networks.

Japan is already so strong in the year when SG is at it max as 4 dragons.

This demand is low. They have collect data via bus service. They only do it when demand is there. So you dont see this Outer Circle Line
