The 50-km Cross Island Line (CRL) will start from Changi and pass through Loyang, Pasir Ris, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, before reaching Sin Ming. (Courtesy of LTA)

Expected to be completed by 2025, JRL will connect the Jurong region with the rest of Singapore. Commuters in the north will be also able to enter the Jurong area directly via the JRL, without having to interchange at the heavily-used Jurong East interchange. (Courtesy of LTA)

The CCL will close the link between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations and save commuters the hassle of making multiple transfers. The extension, which will also pass through Keppel, is expected to be completed by 2025. (Courtesy of LTA)

The DTL will be two km longer by 2025 -- to run through the East Coast area. It will be connected to the East West Line and the Eastern Region Line, which will be ready by 2020, so that commuters can transfer between the Downtown Line and Eastern Region Line in the east. (Courtesy of LTA)

The NEL will be extended northwards by one station to serve Punggol North including the new Punggol Downtown. (Courtesy of LTA)

An additional station could be built between Sembawang and Yishun of the North South Line in anticipation of future development. (Courtesy of LTA)

As part of the Land Transport Masterplan 2013, two new MRT lines will be built and three existing lines will be extended. This will double the current rail network from 178 km to about 360 km.
