@ Fireice: we are suggesting that the trains be folded up during
the maintanence checks that are already happening on trains now.
The maintanence check timings are to be shifted to the
early peak hours so that the folding of seats happens
simultaneously with the checks. Therefore, the speed of
the trains will not be affected as much and will remain at the
speed they are arriving at stations now
The entertainment idea is very interesting. Thank
you for the idea. We suggest installing
televevisions that play music and short advertisements as a form of
entertainment. We may also play local music from local artists (
they will sponsor us to provide funding to cover
some costs of installing the chairs also !)
@ Alize: We have actually conducted observations on trains and
realised that during peak hours there are actually very
few need people on the trains (e.g elderly). They are
definitely less than ten in the mornings. Plus we will always have
8 seats per carriage folded down for the needy during the peak
hours :)
