Singapore Mass Rapid Transit Maps

On May 28, 2009 Singapore Post released a set of four circular stamps commemorating opening of the first section of Singapore Mass Rapid Transit Corporation’s Circle Line. While the four stamps all have small maps of Singapore and the Circle Line route, the 1ST denomination stamp has the largest map in the set, showing Singapore island and the Circle Line route. [ perhaps due to the small size of the stamp, the route shown on the stamp looks a bit larger than the route shown on the official route map.] When complete, the Circle Line will be the longest underground automated metro line in the world, with a length of over 35km. Other stamps in the set depict tourists, a Alstom Metropolis C830 carriage and a view of a control panel. It is expected that a half million people will use the line each day. A very nice map and transportation themed issue.
