List of Singapore MRT stations

The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a rapid transit system in Singapore and the country's principal mode of public transport. Owned by the Land Transport Authority, the system spans 240 kilometres (150 mi) and has six lines: the North–South Line (NSL), East–West Line (EWL), North East Line (NEL), Circle Line (CCL), Downtown Line (DTL), and Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL). The MRT has two operators: SMRT Trains and SBS Transit. SMRT operates the NSL, EWL, CCL, and TEL, whilst SBS operates the NEL and DTL. Two MRT lines – the Jurong Region Line (JRL) and the Cross Island Line (CRL) – are under construction or planning. As of 2025, the MRT serves 3.49 million passengers a day.

History
Plans for a national rail transport system were conceptualised in a study by the Singapore government and United Nations Development Programme in 1971, which hypothesised that the country would need such a system by 1992. Various studies on the feasibility of a rapid transit system were conducted between 1972 to 1980, with some experts opposing the idea and arguing that Singapore's bus system should be further expanded. The government approved the MRT's construction in 1982, and the first phase of the system opened on 7 November 1987 with five stations from Yio Chu Kang to Toa Payoh. Between 1987 and 1988, 20 stations commenced operations, which included nine stations from Novena to Outram Park on 12 December 1987, six stations from Tiong Bahru to Clementi on 12 March 1988, three stations from Jurong East to Lakeside on 5 November 1988, and Khatib and Yishun stations on 20 December 1988. However, the MRT system was split into two lines on 28 October 1989: the North–South Line (NSL), which went from Yishun to Marina Bay, and the East–West Line (EWL), which went from Tanah Merah to Lakeside. Following the split, Marina Bay station and nine stations from Bugis to Tanah Merah commenced operations on 4 November 1989. On 16 December 1989, a three-station extension on the EWL from Simei to Pasir Ris opened. A new line, the Branch Line, opened on 10 March 1990, and consisted of four stations from Jurong East to Choa Chu Kang. With the opening of Boon Lay station on 6 July 1990, the initial MRT system was completed. Six stations on the NSL's Woodlands Extension, from Sembawang to Yew Tee, opened on 10 February 1996. The Branch Line was merged with the NSL on the same date. Between 2001 to 2002, three stations on the EWL opened, including Dover as an infill station on 18 October 2001 and Expo and Changi Airport on the EWL's Changi Airport Extension; the latter two opened on 10 January 2001 and 8 February 2002, respectively. On 20 June 2003, most of the North East Line (NEL), which consisted of 12 stations from HarbourFront to Punggol, opened; two stations, Buangkok and Woodleigh, later opened as infill stations on 15 January 2006 and 20 June 2011, respectively. On 28 February 2009, the EWL was extended to Joo Koon and Pioneer stations. Various stages of the Circle Line (CCL) opened from 2009 to 2012, which included three stations from Marymount to Bartley on 28 May 2009, nine stations from Tai Seng to Dhoby Ghaut on 17 April 2010, 10 stations from Caldecott to HarbourFront on 8 October 2011, and the Circle line Extension to Marina Bay on 13 January 2012, which included Bayfront station. The Downtown Line (DTL) also opened in various stages between 2013 to 2017, which included two stations from Bugis to Chinatown on 22 December 2013, nine stations from Bukit Panjang to Rochor on 27 December 2015, and 13 stations from Fort Canning to Expo on 21 October 2017. From 2014 to 2019, several new stations opened on existing lines, including the NSL extension to Marina South Pier on 23 November 2014, four stations from Gul Circle to Tuas Link on the EWL on 16 June 2017, and Canberra on 2 November 2019 as an infill station on the NSL. From 2020 to 2024, 27 stations on the Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL) opened for services, including two stations from Woodlands North to Woodlands South on 31 January 2020, five stations from Springleaf to Caldecott on 28 August 2021, seven stations from Stevens to Gardens by the Bay on 13 November 2022, and seven stations from Tanjong Rhu to Bayshore on 23 June 2024. The NEL extended to Punggol Coast on 10 December 2024, and Hume station opened on the DTL as an infill station on 28 February 2025. Six stations are expected to open in 2026. In the middle of 2026, Cantonment, Keppel, and Prince Edward Road stations on the CCL are expected to start operations, and are planned to complete the CCL's loop. In the second half of the year, the DTL and TEL are expected to be extended to interchange with other in Sungei Bedok; Bedok South on the TEL and Xilin on the DTL are scheduled to be open at the same time. Also on the TEL, Founders' Memorial station is planned to open at the end of 2028. There are two upcoming lines on the MRT: the Jurong Region Line (JRL) and Cross Island Line (CRL). 21 stations on the JRL are under construction, and are scheduled to commence operations in various stages from 2028 to 2029, which includes 14 stations in 2028 and seven stations in 2029. As for the CRL, 21 stations under construction are also planned to commence operations in various stages between 2030 and 2032, including 12 stations in 2030, six stations in 2032, and a branch service from Pasir Ris to Punggol consisting of three stations in 2032. Five stations under planning are expected to open around the mid-2030s, which are Brickland on the NSL in 2034, Changi Terminal 5 on the TEL and CRL in the mid-2030s, JS2A on the JRL, and DE1 on the DTL and Sungei Kadut on the NSL and DTL; the last two are expected to open in 2035. ==MRT stations==
