  Remember long ago, there is no "Next station" announcement for every station. However, when the south bound train is going toward city hall, there will be announcement in 4 languages, and by the time the whole thing end, the train will reaching City Hall already. It goes something like this:
  
  Next stop, City Hall interchange. Passengers travelling towards Pasir Ris, please cross the platform and transfer to the East bound train.

  Yes, and I also remember that there is also no door closing anouncement back then. The train will make 2 BUZZER wen closing the door. And somewhere in 2000, SMRT changed the train announcement type.

  Something to note about PUTRALINE.
  
  Sri Rampai Station is still under constrution so it is not open. It is also semi-underground.(like Bishan).

  The train system is called PUTRA, which is the acronym for Projek Usahasama Transit Ringan Automatik. In English, it means Automatic Light Transit Joint Project. PUTRALINE is a bus service operated by PUTRA.
