SINGAPORE : Passengers travelling on SMRT trains will now see signs encouraging them to be more courteous.

The latest additions in the trains are posted on "priority seats".

They have been put up by public transport operator SMRT, asking commuters to give up these seats to other passengers with special needs.

It is part of the company’s annual month—long nation—wide "Courtesy and Safety Programme". — CNA/ms

I don’t like it. people have the idea that if you don’t sit in a priority seat, you don’t have to give up your seat to someone in need. Or they act blur. Like this morning, I took the train from the terminal. From my seat, I could see 6 of the priorty seats. All 6 seats occupied by people below 25. There were plenty of other available seats since this was the terminal but die die, they want to sit in the priority seat. Then as the train passed several stops and started to fill, they all suddenly soo sleepy and shut their eyes so tight.

Ya lah, that's my point - its makes no difference! Last time, with 2 signs at each carriage, people just ignore. Then some bright spark wrote in the ST about this priority seating and said perhaps communters don't know as the pix and signage are so small. C'mon lah, SMRT don't know Singaporeans attitude? They think 4 priority seats each carriage with bigger signage going to make a difference? p.s. I say Singaporeans in a very generic term as I see ang mohs and Asians of other nationalities doing the same thing too.

alwaysdisturbed SG

are they treating trains as SIA planes? priority seats, priority queues, priority lines, priority

i don't see a need in changing the names. it doesn't mean more people are going to give up their seats. i rather they spend more time thinking of other (in case this is high priority too) high priority things.

They might as well paste the sticker on the seat.

Stage SG

saw these stickers on some of the C651's too. but can't remember which set.
