The chairs will not be automtically folded the moment the clock
strikes 6am. The chairs will only be folded once the trains reach
the end of each train line ( whenever during the peak hours that
is) and all the passengers have exited. Before new passengers
enter the train to travel in the opposite direction to the other
end, train operators will enter each carriage and with a push of a
button, allow all the chairs ( except priority seats) to be
folded.
What if the button fail. Will the train operator cause the
massive delay at the end of each train line?
What if the mechanism catch to fold the chair fail and release
thus, causing damage to passengers? Will SMRT pay for 1st class
hospital ward with specialists?
Does the foldable seats comes with drop down handles for people
to stand with handles? Will the drop down handles be unable to
close and thus become a hazard for the head?
Does the foldable seat automatically unfold in the crowded train
for people who require priority seat and when all priority seats
are occupied by people who require them? Will the unfolding of such
a seat become a problem?
What if the priority seat cannot unfold after peak hours? Will SMRT
provide sofas?
