Boi2uncle 2nd Gear May 13, 2009 Share May 13, 2009 yea, the train i was on terminate at amk (after stopping for 10 min b4 reaching amk). after waiting for another 15 min, they announce no more train svc from amk to yishun direction, everyone got off the station. the behaviour of the pple at the bus stops is damn irritating, some of them run onto the bus lane and road even before the bus stop completely so that they can fight to get up the bus. some even run down the road a few metre before the bus enter the bus berth. no safety at all :( had to give up and call cab in the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrefoo Neutral Newbie May 13, 2009 Share May 13, 2009 let's be fair, even in New York, trains breaking down and being diverted is quite common. We should be grateful that we even have trains... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingcopa 1st Gear May 14, 2009 Share May 14, 2009 Will SMRT be fined by PTC, and fares raised to cover losses? Yes they will definitely do so. Show the public that they are doing something. But i think this is more like left pocket out, right pocket in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic May 14, 2009 Share May 14, 2009 Typical Kiasu Singaporean attitude. As if the buses or cabs will not take them. I think at around 8pm ppl are hungry and tired, cannot wait to get home. If they were to wait a little longer the other trains reaching AMK will bring more ppl and crowd the bus stops again and again. I dunno if that's being kiasu but if I were there I would wanna get out of there asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkseah Turbocharged May 14, 2009 Share May 14, 2009 Will SMRT be fined by PTC, and fares raised to cover losses? yalor.. what is the point for PTC to fine SMRT when once SMRT request to raise fares to recover 'operating costs', PTC will agree?? Fines are just part of 'operating costs'... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jermlai Neutral Newbie May 14, 2009 Share May 14, 2009 Let's see... perhaps there were roughly 5,000 people who got stuck at the MRTs..along the north line (arbitrary number :X) minimum fare...$1 - entry and exit at same station that's $5,000, at least incomplete journeys form other stations not counted..and it'll be more than $1 per trip Amount earned by SMRT taxis, and/or their buses (since it spoilt along the northbound lines...got more SMRT buses right?)... let's assume these 5000 people took a SMRT bus towards Yishun at $1 per trip too.. that's another $5000 total = $100,000 oh look! their fines are $100... http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_360053.html Well...who out of the 5000 people affected will go ask for a refund?
