2210hrs on a Sunday…

At Outram MRT transferring from the NE-Line after dinner at Vivo City and the west bound trains were packed as hell. Some people couldn’t even get onto the train and they have to wait for the next one.

The next train came at 2217hrs – 7 full minutes later. This is how packed it is in this train, even at the second cabin – the blue colored section – from the front. And this is already near one end of the station for goodness sake!! Frankly, I don’t mind even when it come at 11 mins, but the minimum requirement would be that the train can be boarded!

And this isn’t even peak hours!! It’s late evening on a Sunday. Really ‘Worse Class’ transport! Come on, Raymond Lemon Lim, come use this for one year, 2 times a day, 365 days a year and then come back and tell me how world class it is. (Photos taken with Blackberry 8100 Pearl.)

  1. Tianhong> We can do something about it. The fact that the transport operators takes us for suckers is because they can hide behind the PTC and conveniently claim the PTC find their service acceptable etc. And the only way to put an end to that is to kick the guys who gives the PTC the power. The Malaysians have made the necessary choices, will Singaporeans find the courage to change as well?

    Paced> Even if they knew, do they even care? I doubt any of the mini$ter$, CEO of the 2 transport operators, and members of the PTC uses the train as regularly as any of us. The Malaysians have made the necessary choices, will Singaporeans find the courage to change as well?

    dodo> And it’s a surprise in spite of their lack of enthusiasm in doing their job properly, they are still taking one of the highest pay in the world and taking credit for something non-existent.

    Bobo> Yes. And they’ll say, it’s only 80% full at it’s worst and the lackeys will say… ” Eh.. complain what? Hong Kong is worse! ”

  2. Maybe cut cost in the sense that pack the trains more, lesser trains running at anytime, electrity bill lower? Honestly, I don’t know what rationale and whether these transport operators know the situation or not.
