MRT driver purposely apply brakes abruptly

Sg1299 SG

Yesterday about 4pm on West-East Line, I noticed that d driver deliberately apply brakes (when approaching every station) in such a way that many passengers will need maximum effort to keep balanced.

Is the driver mentally sick or psychotic?

maybe new driver? maybe brakes faulty? y say purposely?

the Bear SG

maybe the driver knew the TS was onboard and was trying to murder him?

First things first, it's called East-West line no matter in which direction it goes. And which part of the EWL?

If it's raining, then it may explain why so. Different TOs have different ways of approaching the station.

If the weather was fine, the computer itself would not have used such speed codes unless the TO keeps pushing his stick to emergency brake.

2 months ago,i was waiting with my friend at the middle platform in tanah merah stn.then there were some works going on just infront of the platform in the tracks.then this train arrived very slowly because of the works.then the driver stopped the train way before the yellow arrow markings on the platform.and his cabin door stopped before the platform.looked like he had difficulties controlling the train as he did this same thing also in the expo stn.

Well, the MRT driver has to at least make an effort to stop for all the people jumping onto the tracks...

around 6 pm++ today i boarded a train 007/008 on the east west line from tanah merah to city hall.... it was a very disappointed rides as this train is moving too slow and just start and stop on the go... it made me feel so giddy and other passengers do feel the uncomfortables too.... many were shocked too....

They are trying to maintain the schedule and timing, if not, the train may clash with the train in front.

being stuck in that tiny capsule right in front of the train for long periods of time, having to bring you thousands of people to where you wanna go, i think can sometimes get on the already frayed nerves.

or maybe he just fell in love with the train brakes. great way to torture fellow singaporeans.

I think I met such a driver/train today. I am writing my blog entry about it right now - when it's ready, I will put it up.

I think it's a safety issue. If the train goes too fast, it might derail when it rolls over all the dead bodies lying on the tracks.

As promised.
