PAPee Dog: MRT Under Utilized, So Need to Squeeze More Into It!

'SMRT should run more trains.'
MR ANDREW SEOW: 'Although trains arrive at three-minute intervals, they are still jam-packed during the morning peak time. SMRT should run more trains in the morning in view of the surge in train ridership. I note that west-bound trains are packed to capacity by the time they reach Eunos station. Every work day, many commuters are left on the platform as they are unable to board the overcrowded trains. Those who squeeze in and stand at the entrance have nothing to hold on to.'

I agree with Mr Andrew Seow. There is a need to increase train frequency. I think, last month, a writer of an online forum article raised a valid concern which is, packed trains may facilitate the spread of diseases. What struck me the most about that particular article were the unkind and irrelevant comments directed at the writer, instead of the article. Some may think train passenger load has not reached its capacity. This is not so true especially during peak hours, as concurred by Mr Seow. Now, there are even staff members stationed at platforms urging train passengers to move towards the centre. I doubt train frequency will increase based on this letter. Anyway, let’s wait and see what Bernadette Low has to say. I am quite sure Bernadette will be quick to emphasize that trains come every 2 min during peak hours. Is it frequent enough?

You agree, and yet you do not know the operational process of how the train moves and how to keep track so that accidents and breakdown can occur.

Obvious you dont take enough train rides to feel how its like when trains have to stop in mid track when the train infronty has not moved on.

And it's obvious u're BLIND to the root cause of the problem despite claiming to possess clear eyes.

Reducing Foreign Trash solve all conjestion problem.

Better solution is to vote more opposition into parliament.

Spore got so many problems that only way to fix things is from the top-down. It's no use fixing things from the bottom as there's too much deadwood & vested interests at the top :rolleyes:

if you have nothing practical, objective or proper to put up, you do not need to show the world how foul you actually can be.

Implement like EAP la. During peak hour public transport BUS/MRT fare extra 50cent/ride. Taxi already have peak hour charge so I think BUS/MRT should do the same.

so what is the root of the problem???????

The root cause is that our infrastructures are not able to cope with the current level of population. Hospitals are also over-stretched and housing are inadequately provided to meet the increase in population.
