The Mass Rapid Transit network in Singapore comprises an interconnected system of rail lines serving the city‑state’s urban and suburban areas. The official list of stations covers 151 stations in operation. That list is commonly presented as a single catalogue or map keyed to lines; in many printed and digital versions, underground stations are indicated in italics to distinguish them from elevated and at‑grade stops. More stations are at various stages of planning and construction as the network expands.

Characteristics and organization

Stations vary by structure and function. Some are elevated on viaducts, others sit at ground level, and a large share in dense central areas are fully underground. Many serve a single line, while interchange stations provide cross‑platform or same‑concourse transfers between two or more lines. Typical station facilities include paid concourses, lifts and escalators, tactile guidance for visually impaired passengers, platform screen doors on underground and many elevated platforms, and integrated bus or taxi interchanges at major nodes.

How the list is presented

A comprehensive list ordinarily groups stations by line and then by travel direction or sequence. Entries often include station codes (an alphanumeric code that identifies line and position), names, and interchange status. Where maps or tables are published the use of typography (for example, italics for underground stations) and symbols helps readers distinguish structural type, planned status, and accessibility features. Official system maps and timetables are released and updated by the network operator and transport authorities.

History and development

The MRT network began in the late 20th century and has grown through successive phases of planning and construction to serve new residential, commercial and industrial areas. Extensions and new lines are added to relieve crowding on busy corridors, support new towns and business districts, and to improve orbital movement around the city. Current expansion programmes include several lines and extensions that will increase station counts and provide new interchange opportunities.

Uses and significance

The station list is more than a directory: it documents the physical spine of a high‑capacity public transport system that carries millions of journeys annually. Stations are focal points for transit‑oriented development; many are integrated with shopping complexes, offices and public amenities. For users, the list helps plan trips, identify transfer points and assess accessibility options.

Notable distinctions and practical notes

  • Interchange stations are central to network efficiency and often have multiple levels, retail outlets and pedestrian connections.
  • Designs range from utilitarian suburban platforms to architecturally notable underground concourses and public‑art installations in selected stations.
  • New names and openings are added periodically; consult the latest system map or operator publications to see current and planned stations.
