Not after its grand opening, not when the steel and glass is ready.
When that happens, there'll be even fewer reasons to get a car.
Unlike its predecessors, which performed the roles of connecting homes with workplaces, the Circle Line has a relatively more exciting role: It connects the places of play.
The integrated resorts, the future Sports Hub, the Singapore Flyer, the future Gardens By The Bay, the Botanical Gardens, Labrador Park - all these will become more accessible.
But I'm curious too.
How does it look now?
What has been lost? How have lives been changed by this massive tunnelling project in land-scarce, densely-populated Singapore?
I greased my old bike, checked its brakes and off I went.
Here are some stations which caught my attention.
STOP 1: HARBOURFRONT
I START at HarbourFront station. Exciting things are happening at this end of the Circle Line.
VivoCity, Singapore's biggest mall, looks set to get bigger when the Circle Line comes around.
Add to this the newly-opened HortPark and the integrated resort in Sentosa due to open in 2010, and HarbourFront looks set to be the next Orchard Road.
STOP 2: TELOK BLANGAH
I dodge monster trucks and traffic cones, and pedal down Pasir Panjang Road.
I see billboards for Reflections At Keppel Bay, a new condominium with its signature curved towers.
It will be the first of many glitzy developments I see along the Circle Line.
I realise quickly, however, that every opportunity this new line creates is coming at a cost.
An old landmark, Jagoh Primary School, is now a construction site.
Gone too is the Comfort Pasir Panjang Training Centre, the old training ground for many cabbies.
Gone just like that. I can hardly believe my eyes.
STOP 3: WEST COAST
One thing I am starting to like about the Circle Line is the way it will make more parks accessible to car-less folks like myself.
Labrador Park, West Coast Park, the Botanical Gardens, MacRitchie Reservoir, Kallang Park and the Marina Promenade - all these will be a stone's throw from Circle Line stations.
STOP 4: KENT RIDGE
The lucky devils at NUS get their own MRT station.
STOP 5: BUKIT BROWN
I'm cycling round the labyrinth trails of a cemetery - lost.
Bukit Brown station is smack in the middle of a forested cemetery with old-style Chinese graves adorned with stone warriors and phoenixes.
I startle a family making offerings when I ask for directions to the construction site. I ask an old man standing mysteriously under a tree.
It's creepy. I wouldn't want to hang around here too often next time.
STOP 6: THOMSON
Huh, what MRT?
That's the reply, when I ask the owner of a nursery here where Thomson Station will be.
I look at the map again. It says the tunnel is going right under our feet.
And this is, really, what amazes me. The Circle Line is a massive tunnelling project through one of the most densely-populated countries in the world.
Yes, there are the traffic woes.
But how did the engineers negotiate the maze of utility lines, sewage pipes and what-nots while building this tunnel?
It is an engineering marvel taking place quietly below our feet.
Above ground, however, things can get messy.
STOP 7: BARTLEY
A 60-year-old temple in Lorong How Sun, Jin Long Si Temple, was acquired in January 2003 for redevelopment in conjunction with the Circle Line.
Devotees feared that a 100-year-old Bodhi tree on the temple's grounds would be damaged upon redevelopment and asked for it to be preserved.
The government agreed.
STOP 8: MACPHERSON
I cycle past Ubi's forlorn-looking flatted factories, but I sense an excitement in the air.
The construction here is entering its final stages. Windfalls for businesses are beckoning.
STOP 9: DAKOTA
The Circle Line will open up culinary meccas like the Old Airport Road food centre and Adam Road food centre.
STOP 10: NICOLL HIGHWAY
As I cycle down the home stretch, I pause to remember: A hero lies beneath here.
Foreman Heng Yeow Peow, nicknamed Hero Heng, lost his life when a retaining wall at the Circle Line worksite collapsed in April 2004.
He had jumped into the rubble to save his workers. And his body was the only one which was never recovered.
And this is the story of the Circle Line, one that does not lie only in its $6.7 billion price tag and its promise of convenience.
Hidden just behind it are the stories of an engineering marvel, land tussles, windfalls, human costs and history lost.
