Most of us think of “rush hour” or “peak hour” as lasting two to three hours in the morning and as much as four hours in the evening. But the 2-minute promise is only applicable for one hour, the exact time of which as far as I can tell has never been revealed precisely.
Ha! Now it turns out that even the “one hour peak of peak” is not true!
In parliament last Monday, Minister of State for Transport Josephine Teo admitted that:
At present, the trains run at two- minute intervals between Yishun and Marina Bay stations, on the North-South Line, for about 45 minutes.– Straits Times, 22 Nov 2011, 30 new MRT trains on the way, by Maria Almenoar
What about the other lines? I wish our government and public transport companies would spend less energy on public relations obfuscation and more on actually improving service.
