Still, I feel that too much tunnelling isn't good for SG because of its size and position. IIRC, the Nicoll Hwy collapse made the surrounding area structura...

A Straits Times editorial noted MRT extensions will be a milestone in better living. With respect to transport, which quality of life aspect is most important to you?

1) Affordability

2) Accessibility

3) Efficiency

To me personally, efficiency is the most important. Affordability comes next and finally accessibility.

SMRT 32373238 SG

Efficiency... i'm always in a rush... Laughing
same la followed by affordability then accessability...
usually trains run up to many popular places so i guess accessability isnt much of a problem...

mr_sotong SG

To me.. I think it's Comfortability, Efficiency, Accessibility, then affordability.

None of the above. Its public transport owned by private company to generate large profits at minimal service.

Ah Cek SG

punctuality

Oceane SG

Err?

Peak hour trains are already punctual enough. =.=
Except for early morning trains, the punctuality is based on the timing of the TO that left the depot.

not only the transport operators la. almost all companies and organisations regardless of which industry - all operate with this mentality - to max profit with minimal overheads.

amongst the most extreme ones are Microsoft, and so on.

A Capitalist World.

As long as it doesn't affect bus routes too much, I am fine with it. Cool

I just learnt from my colleague,public transport is not the cheapest one.Riding motor bike is definitely cheaper,imagine one litre of petrol get travel 40km.Honda cub even more efficient .But due to safety reason,most Singaporeans avoid motor bike.May be i will get a bike licence at the age of 50. Cool

its actually a mix of all those, but i would say i don't mind being slightly uncomfortable for 1 min if they can increase teh speed that much.

and anyway comfortability also depends on the number of passengers. i assure you our mrt is pretty comfortable if you ahve a seat and its not too crowded; but normally its overcrowded and you won't get any seats.

hmmz any one noticed they got new buses that has less seats so they can squeeze mroe pple in and make better profits?

NickL_C151 SG

the buses have bigger aisle so that wheelchair can go in lah bodo…

... The island sinking as too many underground tracks... Laughing

SBSTransport SG

Hmm… To me efficiency should be first followed by speed, availability and comfort. No ones like a train service that has a bad frequency and I can tell you a thing although London Underground (London Metro) everyday has delays or maintenance works going or signal failure, they are still able to run service properly with 2 to 3 mins per train usually and 3 – 5 mins around 1pm to 3pm.

Only Serangoon sank by 1cm. It has since stopped sinking.

Although Mass transit trains/stations in places like London, Hong Kongetc are old, but their efficiency are very good, much better then SMRT.

Our system looks good on the external but not the internal.

soulwinner SG

Not really.. Very Happy
