    • Remember long ago, there is no "Next station" announcement for every station. However, when the south bound train is going toward city hall, there will be announcement in 4 languages, and by the time the whole thing end, the train will reaching City Hall already. It goes something like this:

      Next stop, City Hall interchange. Passengers travelling towards Pasir Ris, please cross the platform and transfer to the East bound train.

      Yes, and I also remember that there is also no door closing anouncement back then. The train will make 2 BUZZER wen closing the door. And somewhere in 2000, SMRT changed the train announcement type.

    • Something to note about PUTRALINE.

      Sri Rampai Station is still under constrution so it is not open. It is also semi-underground.(like Bishan).

    • The train system is called PUTRA, which is the acronym for Projek Usahasama Transit Ringan Automatik. In English, it means Automatic Light Transit Joint Project. PUTRALINE is a bus service operated by PUTRA.
