They toldl us platform was the problem. Now Flower Vase Teo says not enough trains

[Confuseous]

There are simply not enough MRT trains to run at two-minute intervals throughout the morning and evening peak periods.
(Which is which now. First, not enought platforms. Then trains not enough carriages. Now, not enough trains!
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Minister of State (Transport) Josephine Teo said that, given the existing fleet, trains are only able to operate at a two-minute interval for 45 minutes during morning peak hours - between 7am and 9.30am - along the Yishun to Marina Bay stretch of the North South Line. Intervals at other parts of the network are still slightly longer than two minutes during the morning peak hours.

Responding to Mr Giam's question on whether the authorities plan ahead of time, Mrs Teo said that "there is advance planning but projecting demand and ridership is tricky business and hard to get 100-per-cent right."
Flower Vase, we just need the gahmen to get 50% right; we ARE aware 100% is too high an expectation of our ministers; don't kid yourself!

Are you asking too much, if we should be paying" flower vase" & company for 20% to get 80% right. Of course, the projection can not be 100% but expectation of their performance is 1,000% since they get paid astronomical sum. But the 60% thinks that whatever the percentage they get even -1000% it is all right, the 40% have to no choice but to tag along. All these percentage is getting confusing!

In other words, they are hinting, dropping hints, or telling you lightly & soon directly, PAY MORE FOR TRANSPORT, you get more trains, get it, dummy? But wait, you get retrench first, but wait, help is on the way.!!

sure...they also under-estimated:

a) the impact of foreigners on Singaporeans
b) the impact of scaling down HDB building (related to (a) above)
c) the impact of high costs of living on Singaporeans

But they manage to overestimate their usefulness & pay...

amazing.

Projection is never accurate & never 100% she is telling you, but they pay projection?? SINgaporeans must be morons then!

SMRT bought 12 trains or more from China which have arrived but to their horror all the trains were faulty or unable to synchronise with the signalling system. fcking cheebye Teo is correct but she did not reveal the whole truth.
Trains are not paid by SMRT, they are paid with our hard earned money. Just like the platforms, rails and its infrastructure.

The fcking trains from China couldn't match the existing signalling.

A grossly overpaid Minister telling the citizens the obvious: not enough trains & they can't project the demand absolutely correct.

That reminds of me a story, long, long time ago in.........A Fox invited the Crane for a meal of soup in its home & later the Crane invited the Fox to a meal of soup in its house, like this story right? where the PRC trains couldn't match the "ang Moh" signalling system? Then the 'monkey's procuring them trains, must be having a lot of 'peanuts'.no?

What is this Josephine Teo talking about? Even a 10 year old kid know that there is no logic in her explanation. It is the same fleet of MRT trains! The fleet can make 2 minutes interval between 7 to 9.30am. But the same fleet cannot handle 2 minutes interval at other times. So some MRT trains will go missing after 9.30am. And reappear the next day at 7am? What nonsense is she talking about?!

The only thing "not enough" is brains. Only daft people vote in daft people and expect daft people not to say and do daft things.

Haha, same fleet of trains needed maintenance after peak hours from 7 to 9.30am and will resume service in the evening from 4.30 onwards till mid-night, hence not enough train trip provided the whole day.
