Singapore Transport system

Something that is irritating.. In 1993, they cut many bus rts along NSL/ EWL... End up now, the MRT cannot cope at peak hrs... And SMRT is world's most prof...

English lesson: You mean "how many times must the fact be repeated".

TV Mobile belongs to mediacorp but who allowed it to be installed on the bus in the first place???

And I really can't imagine anyone stupider (except maybe those who blindly support SBS or work there) to let a 3rd party (Mediacorp) use of his/her business space (read: sealing up of seat below the TV) and NOT charge for it.

Transport System in Singapore needs much improvements:

Buses
>> shuttle bus services are seldome on time; they often come two at once and one of them (the one behind) will be crawling

>> bus drivers still stomp on their brakes making old folks onboard lose balance

Taxis
>> most Taxis on our roads are largely hellish drivers; they cut in and out of lanes mindless of others

>> towards peak hours before peak hour charges they'd disappear only to re-appear on the dot when there is a surcharge.

>> in Tuas area, they can't be hailed off the road, they'd hide somewhere to be called by phone.

>> they travel at very high speeds with passengers onboard

>> They choose passengers based on passenger's destinations.

MRT
>> the air-conditioning is insifficient

>> hardly enough time for passengers to alight at stations making people rush

>> stations are still popular places where people die

Where are the merits for a fare increase? Hardware upgrades? They can have the world best equipment but if all the above doesn't change, it's equates to nought!

I didn't even have electoral power to give up because dumb f___ pro-PAP Electoral Commission disqualified Worker's Party for not filling in some info in the form at the last election!!!!!

And what do I do? Go Speaker's Corner to rant when Speaker's Corner is located in some remote corner where even the office crowd at Raffles Place don't even bother to walk there?

Protest when the Police disallowed even the display of dolls at Raffles Place MRT to protest against child slavery in the name of "law and order"?

Spend an hour to write to Forum when Forum is only 2 pages (sometimes 1 page) and it may not even be published?

Can we change Govt??? I'm sick with the current one.

Now ERP charges are set to increase along with public transport fares. It is like being slapped on both cheeks. Evil or Very Mad

kaka_22 SG

The rot within Singapore's public transportation had been going on for years already. EZlink is an easy cash for this LTA's subsidary. EMAS ended the romance of live-data msg for motorist. EPR does provide traffic vol, but it becomes more clearer that authorities see this as a cash-register POS for both day AND NIGHT revenue generating source.

How long will this world-class trasportation system last ?
Will if take on a more liberal-competitiveness amoust the providers or will authority continue this one-way Do-Do evolution spiral into an ineffective, over-priced system ?

No competition = lousy service.

That applies to the market of political choices.

Then, keep your mouth shut and drink coffee.

The stupid CCL again

Now Paya Lebar shophouses sinking, and LTA say nothing wrong... They themselves are pushing the prob, in the 1st place, Paya Lebar used to be a swamp area. Is it stable for tunnelling?

Then the Serangoon NEL Stn sank by 10mm all thks to the CCL drilling works.

With the Phrase I delay, now the contractors are demanding $200M compensation for the delay

The fact is, I dun even think CCL should be build. No way are we going to dig tunnel everywhere, later the land just collapse

Lowclassman SG

Even if it really collapse. LTA will still push away their responsibility!!! Mad Freaking Government!!!!

SolarSnow SG

Really pity the small ordinary folks, always at the lousy end of the big stick, and a government department stick at that... sigh...
Sad

CPTMiller SG

Singapore is not really that big.
Why need so many MRT line.
North South East West Circle Line???
They should provide better aircon bus services from MRT to
our destination.

Meia Gisborn SG

Didn'cha know? The more MRT lines we have, the closer we are to that elusive "Swiss Standard of Living." Mr. Green

A world-class public transport is not impossible but for that to happen:

1. the entire LTA team must be chopped off including the new joker CEO Yeo Ah Mee who was from the army and who obviously shows that army BGs can't do a good job outside army life...

2. the entire SBS transit board of directors must jump off the Braddell Rd Building and go to hell...

3. YEO CHEOW TUNG must quit - this useless fellow was tasked with negotiating air rights with jakarta and Canberra and well, we all know the outcome...

4. PTC and that joker Eric Gwee must be kicked out as they are just a rubber stamp to delude S'poreans into thinking the Government vets fare increases.

rascallyun SG

The issue could be that the transport companies see it as their hold on the people. As the provision of bus services is a public good, and a highly demand one at that, they can slowly inflate their fares. Wonder what will happen if one date the users decide on a boycott. But experience says that such an act will never be possible, reason being the majority of the people are not activist. Wink

Another thing is whether Singapore can support so many subway tunnels due to it being an island and surrounded by sea. Nicoll Highway collapsed, and now Serangoon station is sinking. What next?

iveco SG

5. SAW PHAIK HUA and her board of directors should be lined up and shot. They turned SMRT (including Tibs) into a mess.

khk SG

hmm...compare our mrt network to tt of the paris metro, london n new york's...no...s'pore is still far from tt...so must build more...
