The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will introduce a new wayfinding system on the Circle Line, using 'clockwise' and 'anticlockwise' labels to show train directions instead of terminal station names.
Respondents strongly preferred "clockwise" and "anticlockwise" over other labels such as "inner loop" and "outer loop". Come July, the completed Circle Line will drop terminal station names, using 'clockwise' and 'anticlockwise' labels to show train directions instead.
To help commuters familiarise themselves with the new signage system, the enhanced wayfinding signs will be displayed at Promenade, Esplanade, Buona Vista and Paya Lebar stations from Friday . The Land Transport Authority will also introduce the new wayfinding features through its social media channels, brochures and posters at the four stations, as well on the LTA website.
The website will also feature a new interactive tool for commuters to virtually explore and familiarise themselves with the new wayfinding experience. Additionally, LTA staff will also be at these four stations from Friday until Sunday to assist commuters with the enhanced signs.
"The completion of the CCL introduces unique operating features that require tailored wayfinding solutions to help commuters navigate the full loop more easily," LTA said. The transport authority said that it consulted a wide range of stakeholders, including station staff and commuters of varied backgrounds and needs, since 2024 to understand the challenges they faced when traveling on the CCL. Respondents strongly preferred "clockwise" and "anticlockwise" over other labels such as "inner loop" and "outer loop".
Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road stations will open for a public preview on July 4, with passenger service starting July 12. That opening completes the Circle Line, which will span 39 kilometres across 33 stations, with 12 interchange stations connecting commuters to all existing MRT lines.
