“(It) may well be you have somebody on board that does different things,” Mr Siow said, noting that this may be to help load luggage, aid elderly passengers in boarding, or lead a tour group.

instead of saying many people will lose their jobs due to driverless car automation, instead he says many new jobs will be created? I wonder how much new jobs will be created compared to job lost.
That why they hardly or almost never accept press conference or allow question to be ask

That is his job should train break down. He suppose to drive it to station any injury. He suppose to answer. The MRT train is suppose operate without any human staff since long ago why station is concern due to tech issue if something happen.
