I hear it's only at the western part of sg like the jurong area that has such a problem. So far i have not read anything about such problems in the central areas and even in the east. Hope someone else can confirm this for me. I'm not lucky la, erp charges everywhere. You know how the cost of everything increases every year.

A proper crowd control and safety procecedure is to monitor the number of passengers awaiting at the platform. When it gets to an estimate of full capacity for the next train, shut down all entry barriers until the next train takes off a trainload of passengers to relieve the platform overcrowding and dangerous situtation.

sure that's common sense and they definitely have the means to do it. The thing is such things cost money and they don't want to spend a cent more than what's neccessary. Why would they need to anyway? So some sinkies and foreigners are squeezed or had to wait for the next train or arrived late to work so what? You need to think from their perspective. It doesn't mean anything to them. All they need to worry about is their salary, whether they get voted in the next GE and that any bad news doesn't get linked to them. Everything else they don't give a shit and they don't need to.

Tanah merah is something like an interchange where one line goes to the pasir ris area and the other line goes to the singapore expo and changi airport right? The changi airport line shouldn't be that crowded as opposed to the pasir ris line. Anyway it just goes to show that there's some serious overcrowding issues in the west especially the jurong area as opposed to the other parts of sg.

COE is already hitting S$100,000. A 1.3L averages S$150,000 and a 1.6L averages S$180,000 now. ERP, petrol and parking have been averaging 20 to 30% increases p.a.

so if the goverment really love money they should allow private train company to be set up in singapore and tax them in the same time can solve problem over crowded train .

bro,
spot on with regard to TM station. have to admit that if Eunos, Paya Lebar as labeled as congested, then JE station would be classified as experiencing severe congestion :(:(:(

Yes, that is the exact procedure applied is many countries. The barriers won't open until the crowd catches the next train. These clowns still in retail shopping mode.

wah piang even private bus companies aren;t allowed to ply public routes why would they allow private trains? That wouldn't even make sense. Seriously the govt wouldn't even give a shit if they didn't need to have an election every 4 years or they could somehow win elections all the time without any effort or don't have to worry about public opinion.
