Donutnews Neutral Newbie June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 SINGAPORE: Donations are pouring in from all over the world to help alleviate the national phenomenon of MRT commuters falling into the platform gap. Donut News understands that one of the donor, Ronald of Des Plaines, Illinois has kindly agreed to donate 100,000 pairs of customized shoes to help prevent a nation-wide catastrophe. The special shoes has so far helped the world-famous clown planted his footprint all over the world, without falling into any platform gap. A simple solution to a complex problem.

Fcw75 Hypersonic June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 He wants us to visit his website Donutnews ma. Anyway, the gap between the platform and train is 10cm as reported. It's indeed a bit wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 Thread of the day! Actually, you can still fall if your sole is in the gap. This better. SMRT can use FWs to roll out a small carpet every time the train picks up passengers ... the carpet will cover the gap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbuktu Clutched June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 Not say the MRT is a new thing or what. After operating for 26 years with almost zero incidences like this, we suddenly get two in a week. I seriously think that there is a conspiracy behind all this. Maybe the injured 'victims' are all paid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 (edited) Most overseas train platform gap are wider due to temperature variation is much wider. Singapore's gap is peanut lah. Just need to be careful even though it's smaller. I am amazed how efficient and effective the Japanese trains run even though theirs are much older and much much more overloaded than ours. Their train stations are so old and dusty, but everything works. Compare to our gleaming ones which keep on breaking down again and again. IMO, we should start focussing on how to run trains better rather than just cosmetic appearance. Edited June 19, 2012 by Kangadrool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
