Don't we have enough? Frequency is key not lines of parallel MRTs.
What makes one think there isn't footprint? To travel Sg Buloh to Sunway takes 2 hours. Back forth is 4 hours.
All outer stations must head to the centre before taking another train to go to another outer station. Can't we have better planning for this?
Singapore circle lines connect the furthest stations to reach more easily. That's how I see it. ( Yours make sense too.)
Taking 4 trains/bus just to reach destination. How convenient that is. May as well drive. Harsh truth.
Thanks for the update.
Our train can help to have some express train service like how Japan does, some trains just do stops on a few important stations and not all stations. This saves time.
You try travel from Tuas link to Pasir ris, see how long
😆
And why circle line no connect to Tuas link so called outer station? 😂
Those interchange of circle line are Southern part happening areas in Singapore, buona vista, bishan, serangoon, mac person, Paya Lebar.
You shall open Singapore map to observe those stations, not the mrt map itself. The mrt map will mislead you think those stations are everywhere in Singapore. In fact Singapore mrt lines are focusing on the Southern part CBD
Talking on parallel lines, then you shall check the Singapore North South line and East West line. Also two lines which require you to travel very long till centre areas only can proceed to another line. Similar to your case to travel from Kajang to Klcc area to interchange.
