Mass Rapid Transit and Population Dynamics During Covid-19 in Singapore
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is the backbone of Singapore’s transport system. It ferries its population from their homes to work and back. On weekends, people use the MRT to visit places of leisure. This travel ritual of Singapore residents was disrupted during the onset of Covid-19 where strict measures were enforced to contain the infection chain. These measures, called circuit breakers, were enforced and later relaxed to allow people to carry out some activities which involved MRT travel. From 2nd of June 2020 the country entered ‘Phase One’ of safe re-opening during which certain economic activities, which do not pose high risk of transmission, were allowed and the remaining ones, with higher risk of disease transmission remain closed. Ridership of MRTs partly recovered during this period. ‘Phase Two’ of re-opening followed from 19th June which allowed selective recreational activities with safe distancing measures still in place. The current study was aimed to understand the Spatio-temporal patterns of MRT ridership during Phase One and Two. The study reflects on the MRT stations which were popular and brings forth insights which may help city planning authorities for the future.
