This is just so well-made. Can't imagine the amount of effort put in for this

[boljyrox]

watching this as i’m stuck at bouna vista cuz of power failure 👍 😭

[happyzwcrazy]

I love how 3/4 of his videos are Singapore

[Hanakooh]

I love our MRT, together with the Tokyo JR Rail Lines and Metro Lines, it is something to be proud of. I am also proud and comforted that Singapore can become a country where public transport is accessible in as many corners as possible, making cars less of a necessity.

And your content, I really love it. The animation quality is unmatched, and the details are succinct yet knowledgable. I have absolutely full confidence that 30 years down the road, if we get any more new lines and stations, I can expect new updated videos from you.

Personally I love the CRL and I am awaiting its completion over every other line. Having a line that cuts through the entire country and linking the West side (starting from Clementi) to the East side (Pasir Ris and Changi Airport) in 30mins is the best travel time ever. I cannot wait!

Absolute masterclass 😮! Graphics well done, animation is pretty smooth!

[Im_nobody-A]

YAY. Love the river drawing expansion, 💀 everything is so good ngl 😭

[NaruteetheFodderPianist]

Its insane to think we would eventually get to the final expansion. The downtown line was already such a big improvement. Gotta bear through yhe construction noises for another decade or 2

CRL Stage 3: Jurong port road, Jurong pier, Tanjong Kling, Benoi, Gul Circle

[JIMXIES]

good work bananasolid, I seen your first edition of this before, it was great! This is even more updated, thanks for the video!🤓😀

[MrShiba-AIA]

This guy not only did it one but he did it twice with brad new music and more information😮 🎉

[Rhyzizzthefoxboyzd]

Nice with the animations! Video quality is unmatched! SLL is also interchanging Fernvale station but it will be an tap-out transfer station and West Coast station could be interchanged with the JRL! Hope to watch more of your future Singapore MRT videos😊!

[ffadeawayy]
