I'm not bothering too much about whether SMRT can cope or not.
It's their own problem they created in the first place, they should
be able to work things out themselves. I'm more concerned with the
bus bridging services getting lost somewhere while travelling from
Pasir Ris all the way to Joo Koon.
You know, travelling parallel to the tracks as claimed by them is
easier said than done. Some tracks are on the opposite side of the
road, and some are even under huge grass hills & buildings
(think Kallang to CBD). How to run parallel?
For sure some of their drivers will be lost somewhere, they did not
have any practices at all for such an "emergency". Much worse since
most of the SMRT drivers are based in the West, so how can we
expect them to know which road is which road just by the Control
Centre telling them the name of the road to turn to?
Expect to see some more embarassment by them tomorrow, stay
tuned.
well if they think they can manage the entire situation
themselves and eventually screw up again, they have no one to
blame except themselves.
