The Circle Line (CCL) is a medium-capacity Mass Rapid Transit line in Singapore. It runs from Dhoby Ghaut and Marina Bay in the Central Area to HarbourFront in the south, with the line between Marina Bay and Stadium operated as a shuttle service during off-peak hours. The line is 35.5 kilometres (22.1 mi) long with 30 stations, all of which are underground. Travelling from one end of the line to the other takes about one hour. It is the second in Singapore to be completely automated and driverless and is among the world's longest driverless rapid transit lines.. It is coloured orange on the rail map. The line is the fourth MRT line to be opened, with the first section having opened on 28 May 2009.
The Circle Line is the first medium capacity line in Singapore. Each Circle Line train has a three-car configuration. As of May 2015, the daily ridership is 398,000. The line reduces travelling time for commuters by shortening trips between northern, eastern and western Singapore, and bypassing busy interchange stations like City Hall and Raffles Place. It is the third MRT line to be operated by SMRT, after the North South Line and the East West Line.
As the name implies, the line is an orbital circle route linking all radial routes leading to the city. It also covers many parts of the Central Area. From Promenade, the line branches into two, with one branch terminating at Dhoby Ghaut, and the other at Marina Bay. The Circle Line interchanges with all other Mass Rapid Transit Lines within Singapore, such as the North South Line and East West Line.
