Commute in the MRT with Confidence. Tired of reaching the platform only to find everyone packed like sardines at the station? Mrt In SG is a locally built application specifically for the Singapore MRT network. By pairing official LTA data with our own ideas, we aim to provide you with a reliable and accurate view of your daily commute. ◆ Find the shortest route to your destination(new) Starts at your nearest station and shows the top few routes, with stops and line changes for each. We ranked the routes by stops and line changes rather than minutes. ◆ Real-time Station Crowd Updates Visualize the Rush: Don't get overwhelmed by the peak hour. Our app provides live crowd level indicators for MRT stations across the island. - Plan Your Platform: See at a glance if a station is of "Low," "Moderate," or "High" crowd Level. Whether you’re looking for a seat or just a bit of breathing room, we present you the data for you to plan your commute. ◆ Real-time Service Alerts Get the full story, know exactly how many minutes are being added to your travel time and which stations are impacted. - Stay updated of signal faults and track maintenance. - Instant Status Updates: Integrated directly with LTA DataMall. If there’s a delay on the NEL, DTL, or any other line, you’ll know before you even leave the house. - When service is disrupted, our app identifies the affected segments and provides more information on free bridging buses and MRT shuttle directions. ◆ First & Last Train Timings Whether you’re catching the first train for a flight at Changi or heading home after a late night at Clarke Quay, we’ve got you covered. - Station Specific Accuracy: View timings for Weekdays (Mon-Fri), Saturday and Sundays with a single tap. It will display according to your devices's local date. - Train timings are saved after your first lookup, so repeat checks load faster. ◆ A Minimalistic User Interface The app features our own rendition of modern aesthetic train map for each line that feels right at home on your devices. - Use our intuitive menu to filter by line color, enlarge the map or make it smaller. - Just a few taps to navigate the application. ◆ PRIVACY & COMMITMENT No Tracking: Mrt In SG does not track your location or collect any data, we respect our user's privacy. Built by myself: Hi, I'm Caven. I'm a developer from Singapore. I built this app to solve the no-data frustration I felt when planning for my daily commute having to source different websites. It’s a solo project built with a lot of my own thoughts, and I’m constantly updating it to reflect the latest changes in our MRT train network. - Data Source - Real-time train service alerts and crowd data are provided by the LTA DataMall API. I would love to thank the Land Transport Authority Singapore for making this data available to the developer community.
