Well, every SMRT train that I sat on, it's sparking clean. You
know, many people have complained to STOMP about things that have
happened on the MRT. One was a leaking case on a refurbished train;
that I understand, it must have been a hole.
HOWEVER, 1 idiot went to take photo of a person with a briefcase,
then say that the train was leaking. For one, if you know the train
was leaking, why the hell did he went to take photos first? Common
sense tells us we would move somewhere else before taking photos.
Secondly, his photos don't show anything. It only shows a man with
a briefcase, with nothing else. How the hell are we supposed to
know if the leaking really happened?
This is my theory. SMRT proclaims itself to have world-class
transport, and many people are taking advantage of this to try to
PWN SMRT. Of course, some complaints are reasonable, but some are
not. I can only say those unreasonable complainers have no other
better life than to try to pick on anything they see then complain.
Complain and complain. No-lifer? You go decide.
Sure Singapore may be small, and people demand for lesser waiting
time. I tell you, even if you reduce the waiting time by 7 mins to
5 mins, after a week or two, people will complain again that it's
still too long. In chinese we call this (SGF can't type Chinese so
too bad) DE CHUN JIN CHI. It seems like we can never please
ourselves.
To me, 7 mins is ok. I don't see a reason why more trains need to
be activated during off-peak. Unless commuters want to pay more for
firstly, electricity, and secondly, maintanence costs. Then they
will complain again that fares are too high.
You get what I mean? Singaporeans are never hard to please. I don't
see how extra waiting time of 2 ~ 4 mins can kill you. Even worse,
as long as the waiting exceeds 7 mins, by 1 or 2 mins, people
complain as if they are going to die.
