Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a type of high-capacity public transport in urban areas. It is provided on designated lines between stations which typically use multiple electric units on rail tracks.

The stations have high platforms without steps inside the trains so that there is almost no gap between the train and the platform. The platform screen doors are designed to protect the passengers from falling off the train. They also function to prevent the train from being late because of safety issues.
