AMK AND TG PAGAR MRT STATIONS INSTALLING
“TRAFFIC LIGHTS” INSIDE THE
STATION
In an effort to allow commuters to better plan their journeys, Ang
Mo Kio and Tanjong Pagar MRT stations are
installing a set of traffic lights that signal to commuters how
crowded the platforms are before they go through the fare gates and
onto the platform.
The new signals will indicate green, yellow or red, similar to
current traffic lights.
Green will mean that the platform is not very crowded and
passengers should be able to board a train straight away.
Yellow means there is a small crowd on the platform and
commuters can expect to wait 2 or 3 trains before they will have
room to board.
Red will mean that the platform is extremely crowded and
commuters should expect delays on their journey and may wish to
take alternate transport options.
The signals will allow people to make alternate travel
arrangements before having to go to the platform which may help to
reduce congestion on the platforms themselves.
They are also very simple to understand and can also be used to
signal that there are train faults, breakdowns or long delays as
the signal will flash.
It seems that instead of trying to improve their reliability,
SMRT wants to invest in “traffic lights” for
public transport passengers.
It really is a sad day when Singapore is so crowded that even
pedestrians and passengers on public transport need “traffic
lights” to help reduce congestion on MRT
platforms.
The new signalling system will run on a 6 month trial at these
two stations.
cuppa, spinning_quirK and atleast like this.
