  acc to my fren, hk's mtr has a frequency of 1 every min or 2 min...
  
  sg is... one every 2 min..
  
  den u get stupid trains that says not for passengers service, den the next train come, every one rushes in n gets close to sardine pack

  But dun forget HK pop close to 2x here...
  
  HK also is that they stay at station for some time... Sort of got exact timing one
  
  As for buses... 1-2 mins is the Cross Tunnel Svs, others can be as long as 45 mins... Off peak is similar to SG

  That's mainly those Cross Harbour Rts (HK island - Kwoloon)... Because that is the busiest stretch...
  
  Anyway, those are cash cows... Bus fare is at S$4.50

  I decided to take the MRT today to work. This few days I ride my scrambler a bit hiong (squeeze thru everywhere) so today left my scrambler alone.
  
  Tot it will be good for a change. If the ride was ok during morning peak, then take MRT more often.
  
  But it was quite a SHIT experience!!
  
  All super kiasu rushed into any seat available and when ever someone gets up, the next person jumps in. Even the glass panels next to the door also kenna beo like hot seats. Got chio bu but my view all kenna block by ppl.
  
  I took from Sengkang and stand all the way to Harbour Front. The only consolation was no one farted and the ppl next to me no BO.
  
  I think tmoro go back to my scrambler....
  
  Is the situation better after 9:15 am (got seat, less ppl etc)?

  its definity better after the morning peak. by that time most of the teens you'll see are poly/nus students.
