Design:

Overview

The design of stations shall be consistent with MRT

train operation. Design considerations include the promptness to
connect with both present and future mass transportation system,
convenient

and

safe

access

to

station

for

passengers,

international standard safety system in case of emergency. In

addition, opportunity and possibility for community development

and reduction of negative impact to community are carefully
considered

in

station

design.

Purposes
1) To design stations which are consistent to the
surroundings, in accordance with other MRT systems

Station design shall also promote the maximum
convenience

of

passengers.

2) To design stations which are in accordance with train

operation system, low-cost maintenance and efficient.

3) To design stations which are enable to connect with

other

Main concepts in architectural design of stations are as

1) Stations shall have a light and sparse-architectural
look.
2) Columns to support platform roof shall not obstruct
passengers

circulation

on

platform.

Platform,

therefore, shall have a wider space. Roof of platform

shall be designed as to protect passengers from rains.

Rainwater shall be appropriately flow to designated

points.
3) Station components shall be designed in accordance
with their functions. Aesthetics and cost efficiency
shall

also

considered.

4) Materials used shall be durable, easy to maintain,

aesthetical

with

reasonable

cost.

5) Energy saving in both Passive and Active Cooling.

Stations shall be well insulated and well ventilated.

6) Functional space arrangement and interior decoration

concepts shall focus on the avoidance of passengers

confusion. Elevated stations shall be natural ventilated

and provide good visibility. Natural lights inside

2) Stairs to connect concourse and platforms, which are

a pair of stairs, escalator, stairs for disabled, shall be
located to suitably response to the six-car train. Stairs

and escalator shall conveniently serve passengers in

both Normal Operation Movement and Emergency

Movement.

3) Functional areas arrangement shall be in accordance

with train operating system and building equipment
system.

4) In order to achieve cost efficiency, station shall be

designed to suit the number of passengers in each
station.
5) To renovate, expand footpaths which are close to
stations in order to provide convenient entry and exit
of

stations,

including

walkway.
