Singapore Rail Network Tracker
How many MRT stations does Singapore have, how fast is the network growing, and what opens next? This tracker follows the rail system with official data — route length since 1990, daily ridership since 1995, the live station count and the full expansion pipeline — alongside population and property price indices. Completely free, no paywall, no account.
Route length and ridership updated for 2025. Station count and pipeline verified 6 October 2026 from LTA announcements. Sources: Singapore Department of Statistics (M651351), Land Transport Authority, URA and HDB.
Singapore has 146 MRT stations and 42 LRT stations in operation as of 6 October 2026, on a rail network of 271.3 km (2025), carrying an average of 3,490,000 MRT rides per day. Circle Line stage 6 opened on 12 July 2026, completing the Circle Line loop. Next, Bedok South, Xilin and the Sungei Bedok interchange open in the second half of 2026 (date not yet announced), followed by the Jurong Region Line from mid-2028 and the Cross Island Line from 2030. Station counts are compiled by PropKaki from Land Transport Authority station openings, interchange stations counted once; rail length and ridership are from the Singapore Department of Statistics.

How many MRT stations does Singapore have?
Singapore has 146 MRT stations in operation as of 6 October 2026, across six lines, plus 42 LRT stations on the Bukit Panjang, Sengkang and Punggol light rail networks — compiled by PropKaki from Land Transport Authority station openings, interchange stations counted once. Circle Line stage 6 opened on 12 July 2026, completing the Circle Line loop. Next, Bedok South, Xilin and the Sungei Bedok interchange open in the second half of 2026 (date not yet announced), followed by the Jurong Region Line from mid-2028 and the Cross Island Line from 2030.
How fast is the rail network growing?
Singapore's rail network spans 271.3 km as of 2025 — 242.5 km of MRT and 28.8 km of LRT — according to PropKaki's Singapore Rail Network Tracker using Singapore Department of Statistics data. That is roughly 4.0× the 67 km of 1990, and the published expansion pipeline points toward around 360 km by the early 2030s.
Growth comes in steps — each step a line or extension opening. The year-by-year additions are in the explorer below ("Rail km added per year"), where the Circle, Downtown and Thomson–East Coast Line openings stand out.
How many people ride the MRT?
The MRT carried an average of 3,490,000 rides per day in 2025, with a further 209,000 daily rides on the LRT, according to PropKaki's Singapore Rail Network Tracker using official statistics. The series shows the pandemic collapse of 2020–2021 and the recovery since — ridership now sits above its pre-pandemic level even as the network has grown.
Is rail keeping pace with the population?
Singapore had 22,526 residents per kilometre of rail in 2025, according to PropKaki's Singapore Rail Network Tracker — computed from the official population and network series. The number falls when rail opens faster than the population grows, and rises in between: a single line that compresses both densification and infrastructure catch-up into one series.
What opens next?
The published pipeline, as announced by LTA (verified 6 October 2026 — target dates are LTA's and can shift):

Methodology
Route length and ridership are the Singapore Department of Statistics' official annual series (table M651351): network length in kilometres since 1990, average daily ridership in thousands since 1995, ingested automatically via SingStat's public TableBuilder API. The station count and openings pipeline have no official time series, so PropKaki maintains them from LTA's published announcements — they carry their own as-of date (6 October 2026) and interchange stations are counted once. "Residents per rail km" and "km added per year" are computed by PropKaki from the official series; property indices are annualised to each completed year's fourth-quarter value, per this family's frequency rule. Nothing on this page is estimated or forecast — pipeline dates are LTA's published targets.
Frequently asked questions
How many MRT stations does Singapore have?
Singapore has 146 MRT stations in operation as of 6 October 2026, across six lines — North-South, East-West, North East, Circle, Downtown and Thomson–East Coast — plus 42 LRT stations on the Bukit Panjang, Sengkang and Punggol light rail networks — compiled by PropKaki from Land Transport Authority station openings, interchange stations counted once. Circle Line stage 6 opened on 12 July 2026, completing the Circle Line loop. Next, Bedok South, Xilin and the Sungei Bedok interchange open in the second half of 2026 (date not yet announced), followed by the Jurong Region Line from mid-2028 and the Cross Island Line from 2030.
How long is Singapore's MRT network?
Singapore's rail network spans 271.3 km as of 2025 — 242.5 km of MRT and 28.8 km of LRT — according to the Singapore Department of Statistics and LTA. The network has roughly quadrupled from 67 km in 1990, and the government has signalled expansion toward around 360 km by the early 2030s as the Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line open.
How many people ride the MRT every day?
Average daily MRT ridership is about 3.49 million as of 2025, with a further 209,000 daily rides on the LRT, according to official statistics — recovered above pre-pandemic levels after the 2020–2021 trough. The full annual ridership series since 1995 is charted on the PropKaki Singapore Rail Network Tracker.
What new MRT lines are opening in Singapore?
The pipeline as of 6 October 2026: Circle Line stage 6 opened on 12 July 2026, completing the Circle Line loop. Bedok South, Xilin and the Sungei Bedok interchange join the TEL and DTL in the second half of 2026 (date not yet announced); the Jurong Region Line — Singapore's seventh MRT line, 25 stations planned — opens in stages from mid-2028; the Founders' Memorial TEL station opens in 2028 with the memorial; and the Cross Island Line opens from 2030 (phase 1, Aviation Park to Bright Hill), with phase 2 and the Punggol extension in 2032.
Does being near an MRT station increase property value?
Studies of Singapore transactions have generally found that homes within walking distance of an MRT station transact at a premium, with the effect varying by line, distance band and property type — and partly offset directly beside stations by noise and crowds. This tracker shows the network-level picture (how much rail Singapore is adding, and where the network is going); for any specific listing, proximity is one factor among many, and PropKaki listing pages state the nearest station and walking time as plain facts.
What is the PropKaki Singapore Rail Network Tracker?
The PropKaki Singapore Rail Network Tracker is a free dashboard on propkaki.sg that follows Singapore's rail system using official data: MRT and LRT route length since 1990 and average daily ridership since 1995 from the Singapore Department of Statistics, the current station count from LTA, and the published pipeline of upcoming lines and extensions. It also charts rail growth against population and property price indices, with year-by-year changes computed by PropKaki.
How often is this tracker updated?
The route-length and ridership series are official annual statistics, re-ingested automatically every week so new years appear shortly after SingStat publishes them. The station count and openings pipeline are maintained by PropKaki from LTA announcements and carry their own as-of date — they change a handful of times a year, when lines or extensions open.
Is the PropKaki Singapore Rail Network Tracker free?
Yes. The tracker is completely free on propkaki.sg — no paywall, no account requirement and no locked deeper tier. PropKaki is operated by Straits Intelligence Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company, and the tracker is part of its public market data layer.
The population series behind "residents per rail km" — citizens, PRs and non-residents since 1950, charted against property prices — lives on the Population & Property Tracker.
