The original plan of the Jurong Region Line

[@coolman444]

a Nostalgic music (Bird Creek - Hall Of Mirrors) BTW nive video. Im surprised that your now uploading videos regularly

[@matiasscr3643]

Glad to see the "The forgotten plans of the -" series revive! Do one about the original plans of the DTL.

[@ltankk]

JRL is still considered a LRT even though it may be given a MRT label. The alignment of the network itself and the proposed service patterns all are LRT-like, even down to the rolling stock. It is considered a light metro at best. Whereas BPLRT and SPLRT which we call "LRTs" are actually APMs. These act as feeder services to the towns they are serving.

[@coolman444]

if the BPLRT and SPLRT are APMs, is skytrain counted as LRT?

[@ltankk]

@@coolman444 Skytrain is also APM.

[@naorierangeenviro500]

lta mislabelling moment

[@syamil9912]

@@ltankk the new line of that connect JB to Woodlands (that the Malaysian called it an LRT) would be similar in rolling stock width (2.65-2.75m, also applies to the ones in KL like KJ and SP lines) to the Jurong Line. Meanwhile, the MRT lines in KL has a similar rolling stock width to the rolling stock of the other SIngapore MRT lines (3.1-3.2 m) At least it is not as bad as Manila, since the nomenclature is actually based on the operator, you would see MRT trains called as LRTs and vice versa.

What's SPL

[@plane4456]

If the JRL was actually LRT, It Would Be Named “Jurong Region LRT”

[@coolman444]

yah but it didnt happened

[@BYD4005Z]

The routing for the JRL was different also, boon lay was the centre of the 3 branch on the southern and western branch

[@nuffaildaniaelle977]

Jrl currently built to Malaysia LRT specification

[@FakeHaqimy]

I think JRL should be underground since it would technically be easier to build and prevent the problem of what BPLRT has of being too close to HDB Flats.

[@danialabdulhaqjamal]

Some JRL Station will connecting with the HSR

You should have your 4th lrt line video! I watch the video, but then only 3 lrt lines operated in Singapore!

[@leoahmadkhanofficial]

I cant wait to check it out at the age of 12 :)

[@ratedprogram6947]

I still think it is a bad idea to build an mrt line that only connects with existing lines. A few years down the road the EWL will be over capacity 💀

[@garfieldandfriends1]

They should create a DTL branch from Beauty World to Tengah/NTU via Bukit Batok. Yes, DTL three cars train is not much, but it’s better than nothing.

[@electro_sykes]

Good thing it isn't an LRT, god, holy fuck, those things stink and get way too crowded. Only took Singapore a few decades to learn that, the hard way!

[@mightyrainbow1003]

Yeah I know that. That was in the 2001 concept but there were no plans for it. In the LTA 2013 Masterplan It is announced as an MRT Line.

So happy they are building JR Line in Singapore, hope to use my SUICA card soon.

[@bestfriend13721]

I have an suggestion. We should connect or the lrt together. Bp lrt, Ptc lrt, stc lrt, Singapore malaysia lrt, skytrain at Changi Airport aand sentosa morral wheel with a lrt or three lrt.

[@indraraharjo654]

add one more station to connect with Downtown Line (1 station terminus after Choa Chu Kang)

Lrt is now planned mrt for Jurong region line and Punggol north that he talk about before

[@coolman444]

he didn't include the Punggol North in the video

[@AxelRaffasya]

@@coolman444 I said last time video Go find yourself if haven’t see the video

[@coolman444]

@@AxelRaffasya what r u talking about?

[@electro_sykes]

I don't get why this wasn't built as just an LRT line or even a Tramway or Bus Rapid Transit network. would have made more sense for the layout of multiple branches and would have allowed more flexibility, especially if it was BRT, because local bus routes would also be able to use it. LRT would have been better suited for Bahar Junction arrangement, but then again, a Tram would of carried more people than an LRT vehicle and wouldn't suck as much.

[@BrandonSKW]

Should change punggol lrt to mrt too.

[@aehighfmcolinchin]

We are still waiting for the West Coast Extension to be finalised

[@orballz]

That would be the extension connecting to Haw Par Villa station as the interchange?

[@sgdemobushunter7394]

1:37 wheres the sengkang punggol lrt line

[@coolman444]

well since the this was planned between 1996-2001, he never include SPLRT since they are opened from 2003/2005

[@stefan_tang]

Guys what he means by tharman is going to be president is singapore news says that tharman will be voted for president as he had contributed alot to singapore TO LETS WELCOME THARMAN TO BE ANOTHER PRESIDENT OF SINGAPORE AND also i really thought the JRL TRAIN would be a lrt:(

[@coolman444]

he didn't said that from this video. What r u talking about?

[@stefan_tang]

Just telling

[@stefan_tang]

No another person also said that so i was just adding up

[@Driftbus.Productions.official]

Looks like Westwood lrt.

[@Im_an_SG_Public_Transport_Fan]

I think LRTs shouldn’t take over the JRL since the line is so long and LRTs are not capable of traveling long distances all at once

[@coolman444]

oh really? they dont have use fuel though...

[@tanjunwei172]

Yishun LRT

[@nuffaildaniaelle977]

What?!? A VAL?!?

[@tanjunwei172]

Do Malaysia's

[@bestfriend13721]

That should be newest lrt.

[@Service861]

Jrl should not be the 2nd lrt line since the BPlrt!

[@bestfriend13721]

Cross island line and seletar line should also be lrt

[@tanjunwei172]

Buona Vista LRT

[@Iamconfusing]

i legit thought jrl is an lrt line

[@coolman444]

same but still the same

[@94Princeking]

I thought too but lta announced to be mrt instead

[@liewsoonhao4643]

Technically, it is an LRT, it is just that "LRT" in Singapore refers to APMs, which is misleading

[@mrnicegamer5582]

I actually belived that theres a line called Jurong LRT from a furure mrt map on google, turns out its fake

[@Travellers_footage]

Tharman is gonna be president :(((( my MP

[@antant9523]

you could at least show the lrt routing based on the old concept plan and master plan even if they are not 100% accurate
