Abstract: The main objective of this research is to conduct an analysis of Singapore's metro networks and determine the most important stations based on various criteria. The findings from this analysis will be used to address issues within India's railway system. Additionally, the study aims to gain insights into the effective utilization of Singapore's MRT system by its residents. Several countries, including China, South Korea, the UK, and Taiwan, have adopted Singapore's transportation ideas, technology, and analytical methodologies to improve their own public transportation systems. India has also witnessed significant developments in its public transportation sector, including improved infrastructure, increased social media awareness, and higher investments. The analysis of Singapore's metro network goes beyond considering population and includes factors such as infrastructure, station connectivity, and public awareness. This study will help identify stations with extensive connectivity and important hubs. Network analysis tools will be used to evaluate the success of Singapore's metro system and provide valuable insights for enhancing public transit in India. Factors like station usage, population distribution per station, and distances between stations will play a vital role in the comprehensive analysis of Singapore's MRT system. Social network analysis metrics, such as degree, centralities, and betweenness, will be employed to draw meaningful conclusions about the effectiveness of Singapore's Metro system. The outcomes of this analysis will enable the identification of strengths and weaknesses within India's metro system and provide recommendations for improvement through various strategies
