The 1st swine flu case is confirmed, and with SMRT cutting down the frequencies of trains and pack more people into each cabin, I guess more people will have to buy cars to avoid public transport, which will lead to the rise of COEs.

I have to cut short for my title becos the actual title is very long, which is "1st Swine Flu case = SMRT can offically cut cost = peasant dont want to be infected = no choice but to buy over-priced car = forced to pay ERP, road tax, car insurance = COE going up, make sense?"

Cut down in MRT frequency? That is the most stupid thing to do. There are other means to curb the spread. Might just as well dont run the MRT at all, if they believe cutting frequency of rides will stop the flu.

BRAINLESS.

SMRT's train frequency to be reduced if flu alert hits red

SINGAPORE: SMRT said train frequency will be reduced by 30 per cent once Singapore's pandemic alert level hits red. This is because its service staff are divided into two teams to prevent the potential spread of the H1N1 virus.

SMRT has increased its cleanliness vigilance level in trains and buses by more than three times ever since the Health Ministry raised the flu alert to orange.

Public areas are cleaned once every two hours and temperatures of SMRT officers are checked twice daily. There is also a quarantine room for passengers who display flu symptoms.

Ventilation within the trains has been increased, while windows and doors of buses parked at interchanges will remain open.

Temperature of bus captains are also being checked at bus interchanges.
