Why not make MRT trains longer ?

:p
new york , train are bigger so intervals are longer.
singapore train are smaller, so intervals have to be shorter.
singapore interval seem to get longer
There are more frog in well here who like to pretend otherwise just so they can condemn SG. Why they find the need to do that I have no idea. There's another one here who actually claimed that European rapid transit are better then the MRT. I bet he either went to the wrong Europe or he used a very different standard when comparing the local MRT to Europe Metro.
2 more car units in front means 8 exit doors missing (same as the back)
to achieve 70% capacity increase, means on average, the first door will need to take up to 9x the normal load ie 9x the normal time for people to board/alight (same as the back)
if the normal time is 10-15 sec, that means averaging around 1.5 - 2 minutes of waiting at the station.... probably around 1 min if people are fast...
without the extra car units, the next train should be arriving...
Some Amtrack trains are 2 KM long..ofcourse they are goods trains.
More productive to use longer trains.
I think most bros here fail to see the real issue. The MRT trains and stations are actually well maintained and modern compared to most metros. It's the number of passengers overloading the trains that's the problem.... and this is caused by the PAP's foolish population policy.
If you remember, when the MRT first started to the mid-90s, the trains were comfortable to ride in. It's like taking a monorail in an amusement park, where you have a seat and enjoy the scenery.
Vote out the PAP scums and drive out the foreign thrash!! :oIo:

I don't think you even the read the postings in the thread. They all seem to be addressing the issue by suggesting longer, trains, double decks except for 2 jokers who thought that the train photo was photoshop.
I am sure the comments about more carriages, double decks, more frequencies were meant to address overcrowding and nothing to do with space for playing volleyball.
By the way, most metros are also overcrowded. Try taking the Tube during peak. Japan has to employ gloved assiatnts to pack the sardines in. You can actually smell the armpit and spot the hair follicles of even the well shaven armpits.
The big issue is that Singapore's MRT is probably the world's most profitable. The penny should have dropped by now.

Japan would be the most extreme example, it's usually packed so full that they have professional pple pushing you into the train.
Other countries I've seem which are just as packed includes just about all the European countries I mentioned earlier
with the exception of Maybe London and Paris during non peak hours, most asian countries also have with really packed trains with the exception of Kaohsiung MRT coz everyone and their dog owns a scooter and Bangkok.
However I agree with you that this is no excuse for us being packed in trains. I think the problem here is that the population is growing a lot faster then the MRT can build new lines. I noticed that places with fewer lines serving the major city tend to have more crowded trains.
London is a good example of not so crowded trains. The interior design of the London Tube Suxs. Its smaller then most other repid transit I've been on and the space is not very well utilized however its not very pack, not becoz there are not a lot of passenger, you can see a lot of them in the stations. The reason I think is mainly due to the fact that they have stations everywhere and so many lines running around the city that trying to figure which line to take is like trying to figure out rocket science. Once more new MRT lines emerges, I think that will solve part of the problem.

The train should be able to take 2 more carriages without extra power but without doors...how long does the train have to stop..it's already quite difficult to get off a crowded train with so many doors...there will be a stampede if u were to add two carriages without doors...
the double decker train seems more feasible...but as usual...fare hikes will come along...
everything is built with 3 millions ppl in mind...but we have 5 millions using them instead...
They should have peak hours only express buses gng to town to ease the load...then again..why would they bother...

Make all the 5 door/car from current 4 door/car most city in the world have 5 door to make it easy for laoding/unloading passenger but have to take away 30% seat.
Since most underground have safety door that mean have to realign all the door with new MRT with 5 door mean adding more cost.
So my suggestion is make all the MRT running in circle line to have 5 door.

How about using 12 car units?
First 6 car units as Section A and last 6 car units as Section B.
The train will first stop for Section A to board/alight, then move a short distance for Section B to boad/alight, before heading to next station.

This will delay trip time by double. DO you want this to happen?
Dun talk crap with me, i'm a part time photographer, i know the shot was not taken at right angle, the photographer pans his camera to his left side, therefore you can see the ending of perspective is to the left (look at the top and bottom lines of the train). Therefore the right side composition should be bigger than the left.
Even if he use wide angle, the distortions should be bigger on the left than the right (which means left should be smaller, not bigger) becox his right angle is nearer than his left.
This picture fake? proportions wrong leh, LOL
Nice photoshop :p:p:p:p
walau you need to get out more often...
photoshop pic lah.. the man standing at the door is much bigger than those sitting..
also if u see carefully, the floor level for the man standing and the man sitting does not tally..
---->you too!
Tekee, i believe the train do exist lah, i never say its doesnt exist, but that picture is fake 1 :p:pwalau you need to get out more often...
