Fivegear Clutched February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 Hello, not sure if it is just me or everyone felt the same but i realised that nowadays since 2-3months back our train service is getting worse. Morning have to wait for 2-3 trains before manage to squeeze in and then in the evening another rounod of wait for 4-5 trains squeeze like sardines again. Working life in SG sucks without a car! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 Even if they increase the frequency of the train trips, the time taken for passengers boarding and alighting the trains will cause delays anyways. Aiya, add 1 more door in the middle on every carriage. It will solve ppl from avoiding the center of the carriage and prevent ppl from crowding at the 2 doors. A lot of time wasted for asking ppl to move to the center of the train carriage hence best solution is add another door in the middle. Ppl can get in & out faster.

Kiadaw 6th Gear February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 A lot of the crowded are selflish behavor. Often in bus, the front squeeze like hell, while the back is relatively free. People just do not take the initiative to move in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas 5th Gear February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 The other time I took MRT, there are cabins without seats right? I thought it was a good idea. Maybe can have more seatless cabins during peak hours sure can squeeze more people in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidklt 6th Gear February 14, 2013 Share February 14, 2013 Once I witnessed a commotion outside a bus. When I walked nearer, I realised a crowd has gathered at the bus entrance shouting at the passengers inside to move to the back. None budge. They were too busy playing with their mobile phones and tablets. A lot of the crowded are selflish behavor. Often in bus, the front squeeze like hell, while the back is relatively free.

Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 nope. I find it easier to get on trains now except when it's raining.. mrt seems to travel much slower or got problem when raining Braking would be a problem especially those on open ground. I ever took once from AMK to Orchard. It was raining heavily and as it approached Bishan Station, the train over short the station by half the train length. Then anouncement came and passengers wish to alight at Bishan Stn will have to take the train at next station (Newton) to get back to Bishan station....

Gee 1st Gear February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 dun pray pray... our MRT is B grade you know... --- SINGAPORE: SMRT CEO Desmond Kuek wants to achieve a "zero defect" attitude to regain public trust in the company. He admitted it has been a challenging period since he assumed the role last October. He said the company has to move from a "fire-fighting mode" and strive for a "zero defect" attitude. He gave the public transport operator a B grade in reliability and availability and wants to bring this to an A grade as soon as possible. Compared with other international transport operators, he gave SMRT a B+ in carrying capacity. Laying out his vision and goals since he became CEO four months ago, Mr Kuek said on Thursday that SMRT is learning from its past mistakes and is committed to achieving an A grade as soon as possible. Mr Kuek said: "As a company, what we are committed and determined to do is to get to an A or an A star, soonest and certainly over the next few years. Over the past couple of years, the company has got through a couple of bad patches, as a company we have resolved to learn all those past mistakes and we will benchmark ourselves with the best in class in the world. "Basically the point I'm making is that we would not be giving ourselves a top grade, we will be saying quite clearly that we have room for improvement but we are not a D or an F." ...read more ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
