Downtown Line (DTL)
The Downtown Line (DTL) is a rapid transit line in Singapore operated by SBS Transit. The line was officially opened on 22 December 2013 and has 34 stations, with a total length of 42 kilometres.
The DTL is the fifth MRT line in Singapore, after the North South Line, East West Line, North East Line and Circle Line. The line is coloured blue on the MRT map.
The DTL serves the downtown core of Singapore, as well as the residential areas of Bukit Timah, Bukit Panjang, Clementi and Jurong East. The line also connects to the Singapore-Malaysia border at Woodlands Checkpoint and to the Changi Airport via the Expo Line.
The DTL has been rapidly rising on Google Trends SG in recent weeks, due to a number of factors, including:
- The opening of the DTL3 Extension on 21 October 2017. The extension added six new stations to the line, extending it from Bukit Panjang to Sungei Kadut.
- The increasing popularity of the DTL due to its convenient location and efficient service.
- The government’s plans to further extend the DTL in the future.
Here are some of the key features of the DTL:
- The line is fully automated and driverless.
- The trains are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including real-time passenger information displays and platform screen doors.
- The line is designed to be accessible for all, with step-free access to all stations and trains.
- The line is integrated with the Singapore bus network, making it easy to connect to other parts of the city.
The DTL is a major addition to Singapore’s MRT network and is expected to continue to play a vital role in the city’s transportation system for many years to come.
