Singapore's MRT Subway

From the trip I took in September 2006...

Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit Subway is amazing! Very clean, very sleek and modern, and very easy to use.

Escalators for easy access.

Platform information.

Boarding information, and a warning about which doors are easiest to use for boarding during Rush Hours - the yellow sign.

Inside the carriages there are more maps - and stops are announced in English.

Diversity - information reflecting Singapore's 3 main languages - based on ethnic groups and a STRONG emphasis on international commerce.

Location maps to help you find your way when you exit - in addition to clearly marked exits with names of streets and major attractions.

Most entrances / exits are at Parks (Singapore is one of the greenest modern cities in the world) or shopping centers.
