64 first-generation SMRT trains to get $142m makeover
04 November 2006 2041 hrs (SST) 1241 hrs (GMT)
MRT commuters can look forward to more comfort and a smoother ride.
64 first-generation SMRT trains will be fully upgraded by 2008.
The launch of the first MRT train was a railway to heaven for those sick of long and tiring bus journeys.
Throw in a $142 million face-lift makeover and take a fast trip towards current-day locomotion.
And this is how a first-generation train looks like now.
It has slip-resistant flooring, wider seats for the horizontally-challenged, live flow fans to improve air circulation and more grab bars and handles.
That's not all.
There's good news for the physically challenged as well.
There are designated spots for the wheelchair-bound.
Judy Wee, Handicaps Welfare Association's vice-president, said: "At least now, we don't have to block every other person's way. We have a designated spot. In fact, we have two designated spots in this cabin."
For the hearing impaired, indicator lights will help prevent them from getting hit by closing doors.
And, if an upgraded train breaks down, it will be much faster to restart than before, says SMRT. - CNA/ir -
