\nLTA said the new map design will make the Circle Line the focal point for \u201cquicker reading and journey planning\u201d.
\nThe Land Transport Authority (LTA) has unveiled a new MRT system map on Wednesday (Dec 11). Among the most notable changes is the redesign of the Circle Line, which now looks like an actual circle.
\nAs the number of MRT stations and lines will increase over the years,\u00a0LTA said\u00a0the new map design will make the Circle Line the focal point for \u201cquicker reading and journey planning\u201d.\u00a0
\n\u201cWhen viewing the new map, the Circle Line will intuitively serve as a focal point to help commuters quickly orientate themselves and plan their journeys,\u201d LTA said, reported Channel News Asia.\u00a0

\nAnd for the first time, the new map will have prominent landmarks such as Marina Bay, Merlion, Gardens By The Bay and the Esplanade to help commuters identify their corresponding station.
\nLTA said that the new map will be installed progressively at all MRT and LRT stations, starting with three stations on the soon-to-open Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL)\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Woodlands North, Woodlands, Woodlands South. All other MRT and LRT stations will have the map installed from January next year.
\nQR codes will also be included on the map, which will allow users to calculate their fares via LTA\u2019s online calculator. It will also contain downloadable maps in Singapore\u2019s four official languages.

\nNew signages will be more user-friendly
\nApart from the map redesign, LTA also said that MRT stations will come with new signages. They come with\u00a0larger font, new and improved icons, sharper colour contrast and improved signbox design, making it easier for commuters to read and understand the information provided.
\nFor example, exit signs will be in yellow to make them more notable, while alphabets will be replaced with numbers for universal understanding.\u00a0
\nThe Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Baey Yam Keng said the soon-to-open TEL gave allowed LTA to improve station signage and revamp the MRT map.
\n\u201cWith an ageing population, we also want to encourage the elderly to make use of the train,\u201d he told reporters at Woodlands South station.
\n\u201cLarger font size, clearer symbols \u2013 all these make wayfinding a lot easier and convenient for commuters.\u201d
\nMeanwhile, the enhanced signages installed at Woodlands North, Woodlands, Woodlands South on the TEL will undergo public feedback before LTA decides to install them in other stations.\u00a0
\nThe first stretch of the TEL will be operational by 31 January 2020. When completed in 2025, it will have 32 stations and seven interchange stations.\u00a0 \u00a0
