 | | The rail lines have been constructed by the Land Transport Authority, a department of the government of Singapore, which allocates operating concessions to the profit-based corporations SMRT Corporation and SBS Transit. |
 | | The LTA is currently conducting feasibility studies for extending the Downtown Extension into a 40 kilometre line, which connects the northwestern and eastern regions of Singapore to the new downtown at Marina Bay, Singapore in the south, merging with the previously planned Bukit Timah Line and the Eastern Region Line. |
 | | The Eastern Region Line was also to be a 40-kilometre rectangular loop that would complement the existing East-West Line and enhance inter- and intra-town travelling in the eastern region. |
