Junyang700: That’s a
solution. Where Japan, Korea or Taiwan can do it why we can’t? It
is avoidable just with some extra engineering work.
Your examples don’t make any sense.
It is not comparing apple and apple but it is compare apple with
watermelon, with others. We have to compare MRT to MRT not MRT to
Orchard or temple….
Let’s see, why the train station in
Japan, Korea or Taiwan can resolve this problem by just installing
the sound absorption panel. Why we can’t? Why now a day, most of
the stations install the glass auto-gate? Because that is the
solution to prevent the people to jump to the track to create lots
of problem. In fact, this system has been installed in the 3
countries as mention above MRT station for some time
ago.
I’m very sure this problem is
solvable. We should face the problem and solve it instead of run
away from it. Anyway, really admire that you can always hear the
sound of frogs and monkey fighting…LOL
Dragonaxe: J I think the one who should spend
the $ to buy the calibrated sound meter or installing us the
wound-proof glasses is the train authority. Not us.
Can’t really move to North
East…kids and work all in center….nothing much can do…
In Singapore, everything is about cost.
Look at what SMRT responded in the past... and you know
it....
Everyone suggested building window glass gate doors on overhead
stations to prevent people from falling in or committing suicide
few years back.... SMRT response was that it was not economically
viable.
They changed their response last year, only when there were too
many people jumping into the stations and that their MRT could not
resume services, leading to heavy losses where they have to provide
free shuttle buses to do bridging services before they actually
started installing those window panels...
What you can do is to feedback your town council.... and SMRT...
but I would say the probability of building sound absorption panels
is almost zero.
