http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_MRT_Line
The Downtown Line (DTL) will be the fifth Mass Rapid Transit line in Singapore. When completed, the line will be about 42-km long with 34 stations and serve about half a million commuters daily,[SUP][1][/SUP] making it the longest underground and driverless MRT line in Singapore. Travelling from one end to the other will take about 65 minutes. The line is coloured blue in the rail map and will be operated by SBS Transit.
The line will connect the North-Western and Central-Eastern regions to the new downtown of Singapore. Transfers to this line from the North East Line will be available at Chinatown and Little India stations, the North South Line at Newton, the East West Line at Bugis, Tampines and Expo stations, the Circle Line at MacPherson, Bayfront, Promenade and Botanic Gardens stations and Bukit Panjang LRT at Bukit Panjang. This line will be the third in Singapore to be entirely underground. Once fully completed, this line will also be the longest automated and rapid transit line abolishing the record set by the Circle Line.
This will be Singapore's 5th MRT Line and is now coming on stream and the first stage will be operational in 2013.
