AEW5001 SG

they make ppl take e 1st mrt rather then wait for e next 1.

That's y they nvr show "7 mins".

i would say, from an entrepuner's point of view, dis is a very smart way, as it helps to hide information OFFICIALLY but not Change information.. with this, it would made commuters unable to be aware of the time waited and assume that it is Really 6 minutes... but in actual fact, may be 8++ or so

Removing the second train is made deir life easier so that they do not have to Fake information.

soon people will want the seconds to be displayed as well.

i wouldn't mind that...

On NSL the train timings are all shown even if it is 10+ mins. Only exception is on weekends.

ignoramuses SG

I wouldn't mind train timings in seconds as well. Common reason: If Taipei Metro, Kaohsiung MRT and mainland Chinese cities all have that, how can a "world class" metro like ours not?

Likewise for multi-announcements.

The they have it and you must have too syndrome.

But seriously, at least have the timing for the next 2 trains on the platform, even if only in mins, for now. Because if we miss the train on the platform at Yio Chu Kang we only know the timing of the next train terminating at Yishun. What about the Jurong East bound one after that?

And hiding train timings just because its over 6 mins is a lame excuse. I rather they actually tell me its coming in 10 mins then not tell me at all. NOw people will get pissed at not only waiting for a train 7-8 mins, ppl will be pissed at how they don't know its 7-8 mins!

sinicker SG

now you'll not know if it's 7, 9 or 12mins.

Dark Honour SG

It’s a smart ploy to cover up if the train comes later than the actual timing.

I’ve seen ‘1 min’ being longer than 1 minute before.

Though it won’t be very fair to the drivers, there should be a timetable system which show roughly what time the train will come so that people can roughly gauge when to wait by the platform.

I feel more satisfied if there is an actual train timing and not a prediction system telling me 1 minute despite not being actually 1 minute to the train’s arrival.

lianamaster SG

no leh

last time even it displays 7 mins.. sub train up to 12 mins

Ever saw: Jurong East 5 mins Jurong East 12 mins or Jurong East 7 mins before one

I see before too...

ditzy SG

Last time NEL even show 9 minutes. Its just like last time mac's got the 30s, or a free apple pie, but conveniently, and quietly they stopped doing it even when the timer was sitting on the counter.

If you noticed, they only did it when they were confident, cheaters.

If we read the announcements in all 4 languages, the whole journey would be full of announcements. And so many people are complaining about too many announcements.

sinicker SG

if want next station announcement & the security announcement in all 4 languages, let the station distance be like between tampines and boon lay lah. at least 80% of the ride still quiet.
