Sorting through the data of passenger numbers on the MRT and thought of sharing the top 25 most crowded stations​

Discussion

The numbers can be pulled from LTA DataMall: https://datamall.lta.gov.sg/content/datamall/en.html , though the raw data would show the passenger load by hour for the past three months. A friend has helped archive every data sheet of the month, so I decided to do a summary table of 2025's passenger numbers by station.

Note that these are only tap-in numbers (tap-out numbers are similar, but I don't wish to double-count), but these are almost accurate to the official published stats. For example, SBS Transit said the daily passenger load on DTL for June 2025 was 463,000. The tap-in numbers for all DTL stations in total is 541,907. But bear in mind the numbers could be skewered due to tap-ins at Newton, Tampines and Bukit Panjang
