As a BP resident, I do have to agree that the BPLRT is completely horseshit and I avoid it whenever I can. It's so uncomfortable and doesn't even save that much time as compared to taking the bus. Not sure why it still exists considering the fact that the whole reason it was built was to bypass traffic held up by the KTM train, and the KTM no longer exists so?? I'm still very perplexed by LTA's decision to upgrade the LRT instead of demolishing it

I love how everyone is passionately defending their stances on a bunch of unique, antique, wonky-smelling mrt lines. Beautiful.

In defense of the NEL, ~There are train waiting times. For some reason the station you visited (Outram Park) had some system issues on that day ~i gotta agree that it is quite crowded and packed, though its still quite efficient considering the minimal delays it had caused over the 20 years. ~System wise, NEL itself is quite dated and yes there are different chimes (the lower one is recorded earlier in 2003 and the newer ones were updated versions) ~There are tunnel lights for all underground systems, just depends if the operator wants it to be turned on. ~The announcements can get muffled at times, but its more or less improved with the new refurbed C751AR ~The noise control on the NEL, CCL and DTL are fairly more well controlled compared to the kawasaki ones (NSEWL/TEL) ~Acceleration and braking wise, i gotta agree on that. also SBS>SMRT :D (coming from NEL user)

1:30 I used to *_really_* hate the TEL exit signs, but I now prefer them over the traditional exit signs as the Locality Map and Exit Directory are much more useful since they contain all the exits and nearby landmarks. The only thing is that they should put those on the platform itself as at some stations (e.g., Woodlands), different escalators go to different exits. My personal ratings would be: *Bukit Panjang LRT (1/10)* - Extremely bumpy, acceleration & braking are extremely violent, announcements work half of the time, and noisy from the outside. *Circle Line (4/10)* - Dark, crowded, noisy, old. *Downtown Line (5/10)* - Crowded all times of the day, and side to exit at each station thing you mentioned at 4:50 *North East Line (7/10)* - Smooth and comfortable, can get a seat most of the time, and is quite fast. Just nothing interesting about the trains or station design. *East-West Line - (8/10)* - Classic, fast, and comfortable, but I can never get a seat at most stations. *Thomson-East Coast Line (8/10)* - New, comfortable, and nice station designs, but a bit slow due to the route it takes. I still rely on NSL for most of my NorthSouth journeys. *North-South Line (9.5/10)* - OG line and somehow still the best. Although using the same trains as EWL, NSL feels less crowded even when going to/from the CBD during peak hours (and empty trains are a plus). NSL also has better scenery than EWL. -0.5 cause it keeps breaking down

This guy's catchphrase is "I don't know why"

Downtown Line getting the highest rated we love to see it

Actually I prefer DTL lighting somewhat over TEL cuz it feels calmer. Esp since you're commuting & passing by the same stations everyday, the lighting on TEL feels very overwhelming and overstimulating

Thanks for this video man! Gonna use it in class to enhance my swtudents' writing on scenarios in an mrt train. A feast for the senses. Best alternative to bringing the whole lot down to an actual station itself.

I think you missed out on the Sengkang LRT. I think it's a little different compared to Punggol, in that the LRT was built after the HDB blocks were built, compared to the Punggol line being built around the LRT line instead. Might want to check it out as well, the feel is slightly different in my opinion.

wanted to do this for the longest time but never got the courage to. You accomplished something extraordinary and I wish I could be as courageous as you to complete such a time consuming task. Jordan, you are a walking w man. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise

Nice video I was waiting for purple line. Good review and good to know your opinions and how it just weighs in with your score that helps me understand it.

TEL is a free ticket to being deaf

BRO THE BUKIT PANJANG LRT WAS SO FUN WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I always use to sit at the front with my brother. The nostalgia:(

As Indonesian who loves Singapore as a city so much, this is my dream to conquer in the future! To ride every single MRT / LRT Line in Singapore! Great video and explanation Jordan! You have a very soothing voice Keep up the good work and continue vlogging unique videos like this! Cheers

I think that the reason why the circle line is the most crowded because it connects to every other lines which can make transferring easy.

Love it! Can’t wait to see more and subbed to the page 🤙🏻

I enjoyed watching this video, your voice is clear and not too overly loud, so I give this video a 9.5/10. Still room for improvement :D

Great video! TEL would score the highest for me if it only has more seats. EWL at 7 is being too kind, since it’s the worst travelling experience for me with barely-there air conditioning and a stench that can only come from sweaty students and PMEBs. Also, a new fleet of train is in order as it also feels the most worn.

i came across ur vid today n i love it, i also like how you added subtitles to your vid, very nice

idk how but wow you got me excited and rooting for my go-to mrt lines hahaha, plus point for novel local content!

As a BP resident, I really like the LRT to be honest. I love the air conditioning and The shaking and the dizzying tracks, I already got used to them.

Well done Jordan for an honest and unbiased review. As a foreigner, I enjoyed your video as it was helpful and did notice you did have a sense of humour, which I must add is essential for such a video. You have done Singapore proud and keep them videos coming.

To be fair to the NSL and EWL, they are both old lines. The train you rode on the EWL is the old first gen Kawasaki C151 train and most of the trains running on the EWL are old while the NSL is using mostly newer ones after SMRT swapped the fleets in 2018 for some reason. For the TEL, despite the noise, it is a pretty decent line, the doors closing warning is good enough, better than the NEL, so I don't see what's bad about it. The exit signs yeah, can be improved much.

4:51 I not a Singaporean. But I just visited SG and stayed near DTL. I could have sworn the lights for the doors always flash up no matter how near the next station is

i remember accidentally taking the west loop of punggol and the lrt just casually opeed the door at teck lee.Very funny,no wonder no other trains stopped there fr

it's so fun seeing a youtuber walk around the route I use to go to work and school

Glad that the algorithm recommended this, especially since I've recently started reading up on the MRT system. Thanks for this video, I believe the ratings are quite accurate! I agree with your points, but I want to try and explain some things: (Assuming that your journey was Springleaf -> Woodlands -> Choa Chu Kang -> Bukit Panjang -> Botanic Gardens -> Buona Vista -> Outram Park -> Punggol LRT) 1. Yeah, Bukit Panjang LRT is bad. They built the infrastructure in Bukit Panjang first, before the LRT, so the LRT has to avoid all those buildings. While the LRT in Sengkang and Punggol were planned together with the infrastructure, so it's much better there. 2. There are not one, but two CCL - EWL interchanges, Buona Vista and Paya Lebar, but yeah Buona Vista is way closer to Botanic Gardens. 3. Why is the EWL so crowded? If you look at our MRT map, should one live in the west, the only line to get out of the west and towards the CBD is really just the EWL. So even tho they use 6 carriage trains for EWL, it's quite crowded. 4. It makes sense for Outram Park to be crowded too. If you look closely, it is the only EWL - NEL interchange, as well as the only EWL - TEL and only NEL - TEL interchange! Overall great video, and I hope I helped to answer some of your questions!

The ‘next station’ and ‘door closing’ gave me Singapore vibes lol

I really agree with the TEL being noisy part...omg. an what's worse is that when I put on a noise cancelling earphone I can literally hear the wheezing sound of the air that's getting in to the cars urghh

Nice video, watched the entirety of it 😊

I finally clicked on this video, it’s on my recommended for so long that I keep seeing it every time I visit KZfaq. TEL is pretty fast too, live nearby one of the stations and the time to reach Caldecott interchange feels damn fast as compared to the red or green line.

Circle line going through every highly populated are is the reason it gets so crowded. However, used to live in Macpherson made me kinda enjoyed that line.

Maybe you could consider making a series of vlogs reviewing every single MRT station in the similar way highlighting the pros and cons of each station including location convenience, the entry/exit locations and designs, etc.

It is great effort to take a trip down every line! Love the intricate details you find out about the stations and the train itself Here's a two pence to further improve the content of this video quality! Read up on other countries' subway/tube/train and do a great comparison with SG's! You had yet to hear UK's underground rail, they are so screechy, you have to plug your ear, or anytime you might risk going deaf Take the time to identify the model of the train? And why the functionality are built so as Enjoyed the video and cheers to future videos!

I absolutely loved this video haha I'd never thought about the smells of the MRT... I have to say, DTL will forever have a special place in my heart and is my favourite!

To be fair, you should also consider in the context of the train lines. NSEWL are the og ones so they should be given some slack. NEL has the least amoumt of stations out of all the lines besides LRT, so maybe the gov felt that it was not really needed to go all high quality like the downtown line. Idk, my opinion.

thank you so much, I needed to sow this to my grandmother

superb narration

I rode that new line like a week ago, it's smooth and nice quality. I enjoyed

Great video keep it up

my response to this video 1:11 It's caused by the tunnel noises. Not the train itself, although some do have very loud flatwhells 3:29 There are announcements on the trains. Its just on some units that they're either too soft or they completely spoiled. Even if the announcements could be hardly audible, there will be station announcements saying "train departing, please stand back" 4:37 Hume station 👀 5:04 train enthusiasts be like: "pathetic" 7:29 nonKSF fans would like to know your location 7:51 There are waiting times. When you went to outram park station, the system glitched and it didn't show the next train time 8:11 it differs between trains 8:23 I think you were in a train that had very loud flatwheels or a very strong motor.

Your video is helpful, Just a quick question: Right in the beginning, east west line, I see a beautiful building. Is that New Creation Church? If yes, what station is that exactly? We're planning to visit that church next week. It would be really helpful if you answer. Thank you.

Jordan is a train station nerd, I respect it.

So which MRT station on each line is ideal to go if need to pang sai halfway?

My most favourite is The Thomson East Coast Line. Due to the animated screen above the doors, It feels much more perfectly. However, The screen on the ceiling of the train could be much better.

For the TEL is mostly curving so it is the noisiest because on the NSL I forgot which part but between somewhere is from Newton to Dhoby Ghaut where it curves. All trains have headlights but circle line is so dim, when I saw the plastic on the headlights it is so dirty and yellow from being old. It also does not do it justice like the TEL AND DTL where they use blue or white LEDs

What mic do you use? Sounds very clear!

i want to fly back soon. From Changi Airport to Woodlands Mrt, which line one is faster & easier? Transfer at B.Merah then City Hall or the Circle line via paya Lebar?

You forgot 1 more LRT line: Sengkang LRT But I can forgive because it's similar to the Punggol LRT Also, at 7:28, the train you were talking about (newer train) was a C151B. And the reason it (C151) shakes so much is because it's the FIRST MRT rolling stock that has been around for YEARS and YEARS! EDIT: omg 10 likes in 1 day the like growth is fast for now EDIT 2: omg skipped straught to 30, close to 40, first time i had many likes EDIT 3: OMG 40 LIKES!!! EDIT 4: YEYYYY 50 LIKES!!!!!!!!! edit 5: 60! 60! 60! 60! 60! 60!

When i studied in ITE West, i was quite impressed by the BPLRT but after a few rides, that was by far the worst LRT i have took in my life

As for the NEL, it does have waiting time. It is just the screen that you are looking at, that means the next train is less than 1 min away from reaching the station. It is weird that you did not realize but every MRT line does not indicate when the waiting time is < 1min. Prob you don't take the MRT line often.

Hey Jordan! Is there a way we can reach out to you to discuss possibly doing a podcast episode? Love your MRT series!

KZfaq is recommending this to me, I don't know why but I think your subs is going to explode!

I enjoyed this video BAHAH

OP Please review each MRT station toilet in your next video!

the NEL chime being lower is because of using older versions of the announcements, and it is as noticable of the new announcement voice for outram park

For north east line when the train is under a min from arriving the timing will just disappear (idk if its 59sec and below but feels like under a min)

THANKS FOR SHARING

Good job man.

hi Jordan, great video you have there! 👍 admire your time and effort to explore our MRT lines. just curious - do you recall how long the entire journey took and how much you paid for the transport fare in the end?

I really agree with how BAd the new signages are, although they claim it is "Simplified", they have added 1 extra step for commuters to way find and that is walking up to a destination signboard to find out which exit has what there...

LRT works like a tram , which is placed beside the mrt . Only one lane is used . Queue platform not wide enough or big enough , that is why I agree LRT get the lowest rating in all the lines in Singapore

ah boy ah. there was once a time when EWL wasnt so crowded and you could get seats any time of the week! 20 years ago... hahaha

Actually, you cannot see outside the BP LRT because it passes by HDBs and whenever it passes by them, the windows automatically blur for privacy 😅. I guess it’s actually a good thing.

EW line person here. I don't know why I was always excited to ride the Bukit Panjang LRT when I was a kid. Maybe its because of the novelty factor for me as a person who rides the EW line 95% of the time.

i have a question for you, will you be taking and rating the sengakng lrt, jurong region line, cross-island line, johor baru singapore RTS? and will you also rate every single bus?

What kind of video camera you using ? At 0:29

Subscribed! Great content dude. A final slide showing a summary of all your ratings would be great. The EWL does smell funny, and its my least favorite one. My favorite would be TEL, followed by DTL

DTL trains are manufactured by Bombardier which also builds aircrafts, the similarity in raw materials used my contribute to similarity in smell

Also, The Bukit Panjang LRT right, They should add the doors to making much more safely. And the carriage was not that shaky, and the famous glass, every glass pane wasn't broken. 6.5/10.

Honestly , for the ewl , you should have visited the tuas extension , the stations are really nice compared to the other stations . For the nsl , i feel that it is alrd good enough though it could use brickland right now because i live near cck and it is an hassle to always wait for bus only to go for lunch as mrt is much faster compared to bus at times . For the BPLRT , yes the ride can be abit rocky but its VERY reliable compared to waiting for the bus. Other than that , i feel that the TEL cars are way too short considering how many stations this line is for so hopefully it might be extended or something though it is not likely .

Where is the Sekeng LRT?

thank you for living my dream, i would do this if i had the time to do so

I love DTL but one thing is that the seats are flat and not dented, making them a little slippery

I think Teck Lee might be opened soon with the advent of the new SIT campus being built around that area

I knew it! I wasn’t the only one thinking the announcements on the Circle Line was quite blurry lol

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Singapore’s MRT and LRT lines. Since you live in a rich and modern country, it’s understandable you gave low scores to some of them. Many countries would love having what Singapore already has.

intresting video HAAHAHHA 🎉

Sengkang LRT is a hell of expirence too!

The fact the oldest mrt line has the newest nsewl trains💀

I love you dude !

I'll be honest, I don't know how this popped up in my YT recs. I have like 0 interest when it comes to trains or any vehicle of transport, but watching this is somewhat soothing for some reason

HAHA interesting video. Personally CCL is my top ranked since it's my most go-to and convi line. I avoid NE line as much as I can because its always packed as heck. Although to choose a favourite I would vote for DTL. It's just kinda perfect in every way LOL. Thomson line was surprisingly 'dirty' for a new line??? dk if its changed since I last took it but its def v convi. LRTs are soo confusing I swear

the LRT having no announcements always pisses me off cause i nearly miss my stops a lot LOL 😭

One time i rode the mrt to Sengkang and it was not even peek hour yet but the ccl line was crowded When i say crowded, i mean crowded like you’re just stuck at the edge of the doors in the train

I just realized this is legocraze's vlog channel after so much time Give this man a bloxy

How long did it take to try all the lines

The funniest thing about the BPLRT is that one of its stations was built next to a ITE causing extreme congestion before and after school overstaining the small LRTs. The outram park station is also the 2nd last line in the northeast line hence it is extremely crowded not to mention having 3 mrt lines interject into each other, its practically how most people vet onto the northeast line

Because, ewl, nsl and nel are going to town place, but ccl,dtl and tel are going to few towms only.

please you need to do a tier list !!

Ride every bus in singapore next plis

0:45 and 4:46 It the PSD itself that make beeps sound when the doors are about the close. and idk if your talking abt the door closing announcement

the first time i saw the tel exit signs for very brief moment i thought i was in an airport cuz the numbers and the yellow just gives changi airport vibes amirite

North-South Line trains tend to have a "smoky" smell in the trains.

wheres the sengkang lrt? btw i love your vids legocraze plus this

can you do an ultimate objective, unbiased tests of all the telcos and mvnos network in Singapore? similar to how Angel Hsu tasted and lab tested chicken rice from 100 stalls in Singapore. very curious to know how true are all telcos claims about 5G and near 100% coverage. perhaps selected mrt stations that are more crowded in mornings and evenings, at mrt stations & below ground? or selected tourists spots, popular hangout places all around Singapore?

The CCL Closes its doors faster when there’s not many people

I'm watching because i love and missed riding an MRT during my visit there.

Coming from India, to me all the lines are awesome

I tried to do this a year ago, but every time I did so I would be charged 2 SGD. Do you know why? Yes, you were right. It took so long that it exceeded the 120 min time limit.
