Chart of the Day: Check out how long the rails will be by 2030

360km is way longer than we thought.

According to OSK Research, there are no near term impact to operators as expected completion is from 2025 onwards. LTA has announced that there will be two new rail lines and three new extensions to double Singapore’s rail network to c.360km by 2030.

A major MRT line, the 50km Cross Island Line (CRL) is targeted to be completed by 2030, while the 20km long Jurong Region Line (JRL) is expected to be completed by 2025.

The operators for these lines have not been announced and we do not see any near term impact to operators given that expected completion dates for the new lines and extensions begin from 2025 onwards.

Here's a brief breakdown of the new lines and extensions:

New rail lines:

50km Cross Island Line (CRL) will run from Changi, passing through Loyang, Pasir Ris, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Sin Ming, and head westwards towards Bukit Timah, Clementi, West Coast, and terminate at Jurong Industrial Estate. Targeted to be completed by 2030.

20km Jurong Region Line (JRL) will serve Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay and future developments in the Tengah area. It will connect these areas to nodes in Jurong West and the Jurong Industrial estate. Expected to be completed by 2025.

Extensions:

4km Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL 6) will ‘close the circle’ by connecting HarbourFront station to Marina Bay station, expected to be completed by 2025.

2km extension of Downtown Line to the Eastern Region Line by 2025 to connect the two rail lines and allow commuters to make transfers.

2km North East Line (NEL) will extend northwards by one station to serve Punggol North by c.2030.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
