A bit of stress for me.......mainly due to rusing up to platforms to catch the trains waiting at platforms.Originally posted by mrsmall:for giving and giving more STRESS to us everyday

But, not always the case...........some yes, some no.
1. Only a few stations requires us to walk a big round. This is especially for stations with Circle Line construction works i.e. Buona Vista, Bishan, Serangoon etc etc.
2. Not always escalator repair. maybe once in a few months.
3. Inside MRT Stations, dustbins are removed --- for security reasons.
4. Security Check --- occur at random.
5. Toilet cleaning during peak hours? Unbelievable. I never see Bedok or Tanjong Pagar MRT's toilets being cleaned during peak hours. Anyway there is a fixed timing for toilet cleaning --- refer to notices posted on the doors of MRT stations' toilets.
6. Agree though. I cannot sleep on MRT trains easily thanks to these sort of annoucements.
For this, I have came up with the possible remedy --- stop using announcements on any C751A (NEL) or C751B (SMRT) trains, and change to use the in-train TV/EDS instead.
7. Again agree though. Appeared as though "we are not deserved to good views since we pay cheap fares". That is unfair to passengers anyway!
8. This is to prevent crowding around ATMs/SAMs/Postboxes.
9. One thing I hated to see is long train frequency of 7 mins/train during off peak. Especially infuriated by this when I am on a rush - and the train left off just as I went up the platforms!
But all these are thanks to the small population we had here - as well as the kind of fares we are paying.
However, a consolation was: very frequent 2mins/train during peak hours.
10. That is not enough to make stations appear darker than usual.
11. You referring to AVMs?
Noticed that some AVMs accept only cash - or only NETS cards. Can be an inconvenience to passenger though if the AVM(s) accept only cards.
12. Cannot be helped although I find ads a nonsense.
13. What?! I thought the NSL - EWL through trains can help a bit?! thats.......
14. I have to agree that this is very very very common during off-peaks and when the other train is crowded.
Again a matter of infuriation.
But, I have observed on last wednesday morning (0830-0833h) that there is a rather empty northbound NSL train waiting at City Hall MRT for EWL train. And only after the EWL train started pulling out of City Hall MRT did the NSL train shut its doors and pull out of City Hall MRT. I saw EWL passengers strolling to NSL train when the EWL train was at the City Hall platforms.
So, that does not mean the other train would always close doors whenever the connecting train arrives.
----------------
Concluding my reply, I would like to add a point:
15. Exhausted passengers cannot rest easily onboard the MRT trains. Sometime trains are way too crowded until tired persons have no seats for them to take a rest --- they have to stand all the way until interchanges in town centers (or their destinations if they are very unfortunate.) I have experienced this x-times before. -
eh harloe SGEMP. u now got O lvls rite? still can come online and type such a long reply. dont come sgforums say wanna commit suicide when ur results are poor okay!
please do get ur priorities rite. -
Security check is random random wan, u wan avoid check then i guess u dun bring bag loh.
Those train announcement abit irritating but bo pian.
No dustbin? Heard of littering
(jkjk) -
for cutting down the bus route from my place to orchard area. now everyday take nel train have to squeeze together wif ah neh.
-
hahha.. yeah, taking the MRT is getting more irritating..
forever no seats, still want to remove seats..
no dustbins within paid area...say they scared of terrorists or actually its a case of letting people litter freely or save labour costs?
love keeping train arrival times a secret.. like hide and seek. even NEL also got the disease.. wierd
All these announcements.. can hear them many miles away! but luckily theres lesser now..
like to hide all the ATM and postboxes
super smelly toilets.. no wonder now no need pay 10c -
to SGEMP... all the best for your Os... haha
cannot sit when ur tired stand and sleep lor... i do that most of the time in trains at night... -
actualyl the peak hour timing is more like 3 or 4 minutes in between.
and for the part abotu the trains closing doors at the interchange, do you have any idea how much time is wasted when the stupid mrt waits at the station for mroe than 2 or 3 minutes?? -
Would you prefer Singapore to not have the MRT? I guess we can all walk to work then eh?
-
so i assume u are better than singapore government when it comes to safety/maintenance in such a big SMRT network?Originally posted by mrsmall:for giving and giving more STRESS to us everyday

Heh, still got see pregnant lady pretend-never-see... Saw several times, and I dare say in all the times, I was the only one who let up my seat, and all cases in peak hours.

One escalator at City Hall Interchange was done for 2 consecutive weeks for overhaul. Wonder if it's OK now.
City Hall has become Partial Air Con apparently to a notice. There's quite many potted plants as well. Saving $$$ on air-con? -
you cant blame them.
they are profit-oriented. -
This is SMRT what
