The '''Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)''' system forming the major component of the railway system. The network has since grown rapidly in accordance with the aim of developing a comprehensive rail network as the backbone of the public transport system.
 
The network encompasses 235.3 km of active route with 141 stations in operation. The lines are built by the Land Transport Authority which allocates operating concessions to the profit-based corporations, SMRT Corporation and SBS Transit.
 
==History==
:''Main article: [[History of the Mass Rapid Transit]]''
The origins of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) are derived from a forecast by city planners in 1967 which stated the need for a rail-based urban transport system by 1992.<ref>[//eservice.nlb.gov.sg/item_holding_s.aspx?bid=4183690 "Southeast Asian Affairs."], Page 293. Seah C. M. (Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 1981).</ref><ref>Sharp 2005, page 66</ref><ref>"Sustainable Urban Transportation Planning and Development — Issues and Challenges for Singapore". Fwa Tien Fang (Department of Civil Engineering, NUS, 4 September 2004)</ref> Following a debate on whether a bus-only system would be more cost-effective, then Minister for Communications Ong Teng Cheong, came to the conclusion that an all-bus system would be inadequate, as it would have to compete for road space in a land-scarce country.<ref name="ltahistory">[//www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/about-lta/our-history/1980s.html "1982 – The Year Work Began"].

The network was built in stages, with the {{NSL}} given priority because it passes through the [[Central Area]] that has a high demand for public transport. The Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRTC), later renamed as SMRT Corporation — was established on 14 October 1983; it took over the roles and responsibilities (which was the construction and operation the MRT system) of the former provisional Mass Rapid Transit Authority.<ref name=ltahistory/><ref>[//eservice.nlb.gov.sg/item_holding_s.aspx?bid=4182060 "Annual report 1984"]. Singapore: Mass Rapid Transit Corporation. Page 5.</ref> The first section of the {{NSL}} started operations on 7 November 1987. The opening of {{Stn|Boon Lay}} on the {{EWL}} on 6 July 1990 marked the completion of the system two years ahead of schedule.<ref>Mass Rapid Transit Corporation, Singapore 1988, page 10.</ref><ref>Sharp 2005, p. 109.</ref>
