Lost on the MRT?

Singapore Subway/MRT Map

As simple as Singapore's MRT system is, I must confess I've taken the wrong train more than once. I'll hop on the train and one (or more) stops later, I discover I'm heading in the wrong direction. Recently, I've been guilty of doing this more often, mainly because I'm reading something on my iPhone rather than paying attention to which platform I have to take the train from.

This app, Singapore Subway/MRT Map, might help those of us who are directionally challenged. It's a map of the MRT system. It allows you to zoom in to see the names of the different stations and where the different lines run. OK, its utility is a little dubious, especially because that's all it can do. Plus it costs 99 cents. But you can't blame a guy for trying.

If you're new to Singapore, and you need to get around, this might come in handy. For the rest of us, the MRT system is still pretty simple to navigate, at least for now (though when the Downtown and Circle lines come up, something like this will definitely be useful).
