Why is SG building so many MRT station?

[Angmoh_TuaKi]

Not correct. Government is a NOT-for-profit organisation. Generating profit is secondary objective to government.

the main objective is to stimulate economy via job creation for MRT building. Further, no country has ever do well if they do not continuously improve on their existing infrastructure. And yes, this is in line with the population expansion and greener environment as compared to private transport like cars.

Not much Singaporeans want to work in construction sector. Stimulate sai?

Like it. No where near the concentration in London or New York. With more lines and stations up, will give up my car.

London, New York have what population count, SG have what population count??

They got some goal to have mrt station within a certain distance of every place.

Why don't build MRT station to each doorstep ! !

You pump billions to feed a few of them, that's not smart. In other words, it's called corruption.

The cost of construction and maintenance will be humongous. Maintaining a car is much cheaper than maintaining trains and stations.

For a country size and population size of 5 mil, really need such massive train network?

What do u think?

10m population?

Our govt is not the typical. We don’t do anything on cost recovery basis.
