MRT problem… what’s your solution

[AUTUMN&WINTER]

I thought we have a minister who is supposed to find a solution to this?

more express buses?

I take a shuttle bus from the east to the west everyday and I can tell you the experience is not pleasant. The constant moving and braking and the long travel times (90-120mins per trip) should be best described as soul draining.

Actually our 750V systems already dictates that trains can't be faster than 2.5 mins interval. It's a physics limitation. 1500V ones such as the one in NEL in theory may achieve 2 mins intervals...

Actually y cant do like long tutu train...

Buy boat swim around the island

 

[Joseph12]

should have the ability for the train line to do this…

Don't know doable or not
You need to have like secret Thunderbolts base where you can put trains and there's track leading from it connecting to A station

If it connects to Punggol then it makes NO SENSE cos it can't start work at say Hougang MRT station cos it will be blocked by all the full trains before it at Punggol onwards

Not sure possible
Depends on the tracks too isn't it
If not planned for it from the start

Time shall tell. If the current system is created by the very civil serpents whose tenure was in MOT then we better not expect too much haha.

Haha

I realise there's some really really shite bus drivers in Singapore

You don't need to press gas and jam brakes constantly to give passengers a headache

Some like drive so fast and reckless your body keeps moving left and right

 

[snowblaze]

Buy car
Move out of the area
Travel at off peak hours

Yep, though to be fair Singapore roads are getting bad to worse which accidents every other day in the expressway.

Hate the game, I guess.

This is nothing but BAD PLANNING

At that time though surroundings.of MRT stations aren't that densely populated , if the MRT stations are to last 5 DECADES the Singapore 5 decades later will be very different from then

End result is more people working at those areas or staying there and the frigging small MRT stations cannot handle it

So so stupid

 

[WarMage87]

My solution is vote for change... maybe nxt GE got chance... now just diam diam follow 65%

It's not gonna happen LOL!

Meaning the whites rigged the game in their favour.

Ok can’t really say bad planning, we really can’t predict very accurate traffic right but we need to leave some room for manoeuvre for situation like this…?

 

[Joseph12]

This reminds me

When they were doing the sewer tunnels for London the Chief Engineer Whitey Mcwhite white ordered them.to double the size or made it MASSIVE.
COS he said we can only do it once

Decades or century later , London became frigging massive and he's proven right

Of course that indestructible blob found there made of wet wipes got nothing to do with him

Uhhhhh no?

Cos there was plan for certain areas to have more office, work space
Certain areas to have more flats

I mean the stupidest PS should know 10 million needs to go somewhere

You just know many areas like Serangoon , Bishan, Hougang will be very populated

So, just do it like East West line
You can use the small cutesy trains for first few years cos nobody but years later when there's jam packed crowds, you know there's a problem

Cat is actually contributing to the problem by clogging up the roads and increasing the need to maintain or build new roads.
