Compare and contrast this MRT breakdown in Vancouver with the one here.

Papsmearer · Jul 31, 2014

Recently, the MRT system in vancouver, canada, called the Skytrain broke down. But look at what they did compared to what MRT did not do. Skytrain did the following:

- Admitted fault right away, and took the blame for the breakdown
- apologize for the inconvenience
- offered free day of unlimited travel
- will hold a COI with an independent committee. In fact, I understand they are asking the former CEO of the Toronto MRT to run the inquiry.

Compared with MRT:

- u late and u inconvenienced by our breakdowns, your problem, not ours.
- Offer what compensation? What free ride? wait long long.
- COI is one big wayang. Panel is filled with pro PAP, pro MRT, cronies. all with no expertise in running a mass transit system
- We are not answerable to u. We are the only game in town. u don't like it, buy a car. wait, u cannot afford car? Tough shit

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – TransLink says yesterday’s system-wide SkyTrain shutdown was due to human error.

The transit authority says an electrician installing a new circuit breaker for the Evergreen Line accidentally tripped the main breaker feeding SkyTrain’s critical systems.

The Millenium and Expo lines were shut down for nearly five hours. TransLink says the power outage not only stopped trains, but also affected its ability to communicate over the SkyTrain PA systems.

TransLink’s COO admits it had a major impact on commuters. It plans to make it up to customers by offering a free free day of transit on BC Day; full details are expected soon.

“Our trains are reliable 95 per cent of the time, but we know that is little consolation for customers who are delayed for hours when we do have a significant breakdown,” says Doug Kelsey.

That is shockingly low. The SMRT is so much better.

Are u sure? Don't bullshit lah. Kindly attach the quote from a senior MRT management that shows that their reliability is better than 95%. If don't have, shut the fuck up.

Of course it is. I have commuted for a month with only one disruption along the East-west line. That is less than 1 incident in 20 days. Singapore is much better in every way.

In Singapore, SMRT would be saying that our trains are reliable over 95% of the time, so shut up and be grateful.

High or low, is not important. But free rides is a must.

you dont understand the difference,the difference is SMRT is run by elites and immortals that are never wrong,everything they do is like the touch of God,strong and harsh yet with a soft touch like a fatherly's love,like LKY he beats you and admonishes you only because he loves you very much.

look at how caring and compassionate SMRT is,free handphone charging stations,free rides before breakfast,stickers for the needy to claim seats,like a strong willed and over controlling and over suffocating father,SMRT is struggling to understand the concept of unconditional love,from the tyrannical era of saw phiak hwa,SMRT is changing and evolving,like a caterpillar to a butterfly,like beauty and the beast......how touching!!!!!!!how benevolent!!!!!!a God trying to sympathise with mere humans!!!!!!!!

tale as old as time......true as it can be!!!!!!barely even friends......then somebody bends,unexpectedly!!!!!!!!!both a little scared,neither one prepared,beauty and the beast!!!!!!!!

Even granting what you said as true (really difficult to believe though), the frequency of breakdowns is not the only thing or most important thing. What matters more is how massive each breakdown is and the manner in which it is handled. Those we experienced here are totally disruptive and extremely badly managed. That's what the comparison is about. In Canada, there is total accountability and transparency but here is all wayang.

SMRT has issues handling a breakdown. Unable to communicate, evasive, use semantics, staff do not know what to do etc. In the end they look incompetent. Desmond replacing Saw's cronies with his own made matters worse. From retails specialists they were replaced with SAF veterans. And the last I checked, SAF does not run any form of train or mass rapid service.

You don't need quotes from management you twit. 95% reliability means that for every 100 train rides, 5 don't get you where you want to go.

The SMRT at its worst has never been that bad.

i thought 95% is just an arbitrary figure,u know the ang mohs dont want pai sei,say their efficiency is 99% and give their company a "b" minus grade.

1 incident in 20 is 95% reliability, same as vancouver. Why u say singapore is much better? To beat a 95% score, you have to score 100%. By your own admission, a 1 in 20 disruption is a 5% disruption, hence, Singapore is not better than Vancouver.

hahhaha, now u are back tracking, because u cannot find the quote from SMRT. I gave u a quote from the COO of the vancouver MRT, saying his trains are 95% reliability. I ask u for a corresponding quote from a SMRT official and you come up with a "you don't need quotes from management" bullshit. The fact is that SMRT has never stated its reliability record in public. What are they hiding? The PAP and its GLCs are always spinning and crowing about their performance. Surely, if the Great Asshole SamLeong say that SMRT is a lot better than the 95% reliability record of Vancouver's Skytrain, SMRT spokespeople will be constantly tripping over each other to hammer home this point every day. I don't see it, where is this boast of a better than 95% reliability?

You must be born yesterday to even contemplate using a quote from an SMRT official. There are independent stats available on line. I've seen them. Why haven't you?

Your stupidity is showing up in every thread you participate in and when you are shown for the fool that you are, your response is invariably to rattle of some expletives and you then disappear. :rolleyes:

The SMRT's goal is 99.5% SSA which is way beyond the mediocre 95% that Vancouver considers to be acceptable. The periods when this figure was not met are available for all to see on line.

to be honest,no one really gives a fuck about smrt.....i see nothing about their business or their service as particularly amazing or extraordinary.....

not to mention singapore is a really small territory.....its nothing more than child's play,iv been to australia and melbourne alone is 9000 sqkm......that is literally 13 times the size of singapore......imagine the amount of infrastructure they need to have and maintain......iv seen the expressways in australia and those things are massive,huge concrete behemoths......i have no idea how PAP even spend 3.2 billion building a pathetic 5km expressway.....

smrt train technology is slow and crap,can u imagine the train system in japan?where they have to transport people across cities or prefectures for 50 or even 100 or 200 km in less than an hour?
