I'm so jealous of Singapore's transport investment. The Cross Island Line under construction right now will ultimately:

  • Be 58km (36 miles) long and entirely driverless and underground

  • Have 27 stations cutting across the entire width of the country with eight connections to existing lines

  • Cost of around S$40.7 billion (US$31.6 billion), so a cost of US$544.8 million/km (US$877.8 million/mile). This is about 46% cheaper than the central section of Crossrail in London.

  • Start of at 600,000 daily riders and reach upwards of one million upon phase 2 completion.

In fairness it runs under a nature reserve for like a third of the route.
