New signs on-board SMRT trains
By Terence Lee
NOW, there is no excuse not to vacate the seat for a pregnant woman or an elderly person on an MRT train.
Not when the sign above the seat clearly states Priorty Seat.
Rail operator SMRT revealed the new signs in a ceremony on Saturday.
It also said it has doubled the number of priority seats to 96 on a train with six carriages, on the North-South and East-West lines.
The new signs are larger and more obvious, compared to the old designs displayed above the seat, but often goes unnoticed by commuters.
To raise awareness of these new signs and other good social graces, SMRT staff will be deployed on selected trains for one week.
This unveiling is part of SMRT's annual Courtesy and Safety Programme.
As for the North-East line, similar signs are already in place on its trains, said an SBS Transit spokesman.
