This is the official MRT map LTA issues for Singapore’s rail network: the System Map, edition SM-26-01-EN, published in 2026. LTA is the Land Transport Authority, the government body that plans the network, while the trains themselves are run by two operators, SMRT and SBS Transit. Because it comes straight from LTA, this is the same diagram you see on station walls and inside trains, and it reflects the network after the Circle Line loop was completed in July 2026.
What the MRT map LTA shows
The map covers all six MRT lines and the three LRT systems. The MRT lines are the East West Line, North South Line, North East Line, Circle Line, Downtown Line and Thomson-East Coast Line. The LRT systems are the Bukit Panjang LRT, the Sengkang LRT and the Punggol LRT, each serving its own town and feeding into the MRT at a hub station.
The biggest change on this edition is the finished Circle Line. Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road opened in July 2026 as Circle Line Stage 6, closing the loop, and all three appear on the map. Other recent additions are also shown:
- Thomson-East Coast Line to Bayshore, following the opening of Stage 4 (Tanjong Rhu to Bayshore) on 23 June 2024.
- Punggol Coast (NE18), the North East Line terminus, opened on 10 December 2024.
- Hume (DT4) on the Downtown Line, opened on 28 February 2025.
Xilin, Sungei Bedok and Bedok South sit in a box marked Under Construction, so you can see where the network is heading without mistaking them for working stations. Marina South and Mount Pleasant are also not yet open.
Here is how the network stands in October 2026:
| Line | Code | Open stations | Runs between |
|---|---|---|---|
| North South Line | NS | 27 | Jurong East and Marina South Pier |
| East West Line | EW | 33 | Pasir Ris and Tuas Link |

| North East Line | NE | 17 | HarbourFront and Punggol Coast |
| Circle Line | CC | 31 | Dhoby Ghaut and Prince Edward Road |
| Circle Line (Marina Bay extension) | CE | 2 | Bayfront and Marina Bay |
| Downtown Line | DT | 35 | Bukit Panjang and Expo |
| Thomson-East Coast Line | TE | 27 | Woodlands North and Bayshore |
| Bukit Panjang LRT | BP | 13 | Choa Chu Kang and Senja |
| Sengkang LRT (East Loop) | SE | 5 | Compassvale and Ranggung |
| Sengkang LRT (West Loop) | SW | 8 | Cheng Lim and Renjong |
| Punggol LRT (East Loop) | PE | 7 | Cove and Damai |
| Punggol LRT (West Loop) | PW | 7 | Sam Kee and Soo Teck |
Beyond the rail lines, the map marks other transport links: bus interchanges and terminals, Changi Airport, ferry terminals, the cruise centre, Sentosa Express and the cable car. In the corner you will find QR codes for downloading the maps and for using the fare calculators.

How to read it
Start with the legend, as it explains nearly everything you need. A few pointers make the diagram much quicker to use:
- Use station codes, not just names. Each station carries a code made of letters and a number, such as NE18 for Punggol Coast. The letters tell you the line and the number tells you where the station sits along it. Codes are also what you will see on platform signs and in station announcements.
- Follow the colours. Every line has its own colour, and the legend pairs each colour with its short name: EWL, NSL, NEL, CCL, DTL and TEL for the MRT, and BP, STC (Sengkang LRT) and PTC (Punggol LRT) for the light rail. Our guide to MRT line colours explains each one.
- Check the interchange symbol. The legend shows two kinds of interchange. A Standard Transfer means you change lines without leaving the paid area. A Tap Out to Transfer, shown on the map using Newton (NS21/DT11), means you tap your card out at the gantry and tap in again to reach the other line. Knowing which type you face saves confusion at the gates.
- Ignore distances. Like most metro diagrams, the map is schematic. It shows order and connections clearly, but the spacing between stations is not to scale, so two stations that look close may be further apart on the ground.
- Look for the extras. The icons for the airport, ferry terminals, cruise centre, Sentosa Express and cable car tell you which station to head for when your trip carries on beyond the rail network.
Which map should you use?
The LTA System Map is the right choice when you want the official picture of the whole network on one page. It matches the signage you will see in stations, it is accurate for 2026, and it is easy to glance at to plan a route with one or two changes. If you are new to Singapore, it is a good map to study before your first ride.
For other jobs, a different format works better. Our interactive MRT map lets you zoom in, tap on stations and follow a line without squinting at small print, which helps on a phone. If you want something to print or save for offline use, the MRT map PDF is the one to keep. When you are out and about and simply need to know where to board, the nearest station finder is quicker than any map.
The System Map also does not show fares or timings. For those, see our fares and fare calculator and the guide to MRT operating hours.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the latest LTA MRT map?
It is edition SM-26-01-EN, from 2026. It includes the Circle Line Stage 6 stations that opened in July 2026, along with Hume, Punggol Coast and the Thomson-East Coast Line to Bayshore.
Who runs the trains shown on the map?
LTA plans the network and publishes the map, while SMRT and SBS Transit operate the lines.
What does Tap Out to Transfer mean?
At these interchanges, such as Newton (NS21/DT11), you tap out of one line and tap in again to board the other, rather than changing within the paid area.
Which stations are still to come?
Xilin, Sungei Bedok and Bedok South are shown as under construction on the map, and Marina South and Mount Pleasant are also not yet open. Our future MRT map shows how the network is set to grow.
