Future Singapore MRT network?!

Singapore's MRT (Mass Rapid Transport) network has came a LONG way since 1988. Back then, the network was only a simple 3 set network and each represented by a different set of colours.
  1. EAST-WEST Bound (Green & Blue)
  2. NORTH-SOUTH Bound (Yellow and Red)
  3. NORTH-WEST Bound (Dark Orange and Brown)

Over the next 20 plus years, our Government expanded the network even further and making it very convenient for the people. And of course, the colours have also been changed. The Government also added MRT's "younger brother", called LRT (Light Rapid Transport), which is represented by Grey lines.
These trams are fully automated, compared to MRT, which requires human operations.

Then again, could this be the future?
