How come Thailand BTS trains can be colder during peak hour than SG MRT trains?

[cute_togepi]

Cos Thailand buy Siemens trains, sinkie buy tiong trains.

SG MRT load so high, weather so hot, yet they increase the thermostat and up fare.

I recently take the Thailand BTS trains during peak hour. KNN sibei crowded and have to be stuck between couple of siam bus and uncles but the aircon blast down the train like super cold and no one complain hot / sweating.

Yet Singapore MRT trains machiam no money to spend on aircons. Not even fully peak yet the train hot, smelly, and lack of air ventilation. Almost gonna faint liao. Can LTA do something about it?

you only pay $2++ per ride
you want the whole world with it?

don't be stingy, go get a Grab at least, you can tell the uncle to blast aircon

Can vouch for this. Took bts at chatuchak and the aircon 3x more powerful than ours

Everywhere in Thailand especially in malls aircon macam free electricity. Where got like our tree hugging set-at-24-deg-to-save-polar-bears nonsense.

True this , our malls too eco friendly.

Thailand malls and train , as crazy as it sounds .
But need to bring light jacket to cover up esp malls if u going there for hours.

This.

TH is also big manufacturing hub for AC (condensers, pipes, etc) so they will have strong competitive bids for anything to do with AC.

Matter of perspective maybe government wants us have free sauna

Buy a cat. Even if traffic jam, can roast in cat comfortably

Their malls also blast their aircon during those very hot months

Try taking SG East-West line during daytime, especially during hot weather & you will start to wonder if air-con is turned on.... Damn stuffy during that period

we need to vote in thai gahmen in singapore to revolutionise the aircon in our malls and trains.

fwah wu ya boh? how come singapore buy tiong trains? cut costs or?

 

[leonaheidern]

scully save the world but we die first from heat exhaustion

cause all people in Singapore are replaceble ma

also both don't owe each other a living (paraphrasing the great Lee Kwan Yew here)

 

[DicDok]

I find Singapore bus and mrt air con temperature comfortable.
