If you force open the door, the motor that powers the door spoil
=> if power somehow is restored, then because YOU spoiled the
door, the train would not be able to move anyway. And then what?
Further disruptions even after the train is alright?
Train incidents cannot be wholly avoided. And now that they
increase the trips, the likelihood of break down increases.
Nor do I think the chaos outside of the train stations can be
resolved easily. Simply because there's little alternative to start
with when it comes to our transport system. I will blame
"streamlining of operations" and "cost-saving" when they removed
duplicating services. Ignore whatever the transport minister says
for a while and use your eyes and brains. The situation can be
improved, but blaming SMRT in its entirety is naive and
superficial.
Furthermore, SMRT clearly lacks the resources for bridging
services for such a major breakdown.
Dare we fragment our transport system further through further
deregulations? All my past arguments AGAINST further competition
has been borne out in such chaotic fashion.
