MRT overcrowding shows a startling lack of planning

[Confuseous]

Among some of the most disturbing aspects of the article is that the upgrading of the current signalling system to allow trains to be closer, at 100 seconds apart will be expected to be completed only in 2018. Equally surprising is the reason SMRT gives for the overcrowding – the population here grew by more than one million people in the ten years between the year 2000 to 2010, “far higher than previous forecasts”.
