SMRT should have Ladies/Children only Cabin
-
I feel that it is time for SMRT to implement a Ladies/Children only cabin in all their train rides. Fix it at the third cabin of every train so as to give ladies and children better comfort and safer rides. Just like Japan has its ladies only train.

<Girls, beware of perverts on MRT
By Kelvin Teh
The next time you take public transport, be suspicious if you find any handphone that seems to be mysteriously trained on you. Someone can very well be filming or taking pictures of you.
A few mornings ago, as I was taking the MRT to work in an irritatingly-packed train, I glanced up from the magazine I was reading and noticed the man standing in front of me.
Dressed in nondescript T-shirt and jeans, he was holding up his handphone as one would when messaging - except that he was not busy pressing away on his phone.
Instead, he was holding it there in his raised hand while occasionally shifting his hand position slightly. To most people around him, it seemed like he was looking at text messages.
I next trained my sight on where his handphone was pointing to and, immediately, my suspicion was aroused.
She was a pretty young lady, conservatively dressed in office wear. She was also dozing, unaware of the scene unfolding before her.
My curiousity aroused, I leaned forward and, true enough, the man was secretly filming the woman with his handphone.
My first instinct was to glance around to see if anyone else had noticed, but everyone was oblivious. I waited a while more, just to ascertain that the pervert was filming her.
And then, I felt rage.
I gave the man a hard shove in the back, pushing the shocked fellow aside.
Next, I woke the woman up gently and whispered to her that she was being filmed.
She was stunned and her first reaction was to look up at the fellow, who immediately exclaimed in Mandarin: "I don't have hor. I was just playing with my handphone ok!"
Yeah, right.
At this, the woman folded her arms protectively around her chest but refrained from saying anything.
To avoid embarrassing the girl further, I did not confront the man. In the meantime, the bewilderment on everyone's faces was palpable.
Although I have heard and read accounts of cameras hidden in changing rooms and perverts secretly filming under the skirts of ladies, to witness this personally is shocking.
That person being filmed could very well be my sister or one of my female friends. That a perverted stranger is storing pictures of someone you know - that is a disgusting thing.
But, then again, I guess I am not surprised. Too many such stories have surfaced all too often.
So girls, just look out for yourself.> -
technology's fault.
-
try to drop SMRT a feedback about this & let us know what will their reply will be..
hope this doesn't give them another excuse to raise the fares..

My Hp's antique... No camera one... Think it's time to change my HP liao...

SMRT fault
SMRT should provide every one a blanket on the MRT to cover themselves
-
Too bad girls don't film guys underwear then.

There Chibet goes =DDD -
i think a better solution is to educate the public on ethics and morals. i mean seriously drill it into their head. those lame social ed classes in school have been going on for far too long.
-
Is it whole day long or a period of time only?
-
So? And only if the ladies cabin are always full ya? you know how full the MRT can get, sometimes, no place to even stand, and you are wanting a ladies only cabin
Or else I have something else to say. Don't let the ladies go into the men's cabin yes?
-
Yah so TS got to make sure every single females stays inside the ladies only cabin including the kids and also i bet smrt will ask for another fare increase to do just that . But they may also implement it then increase the fare without even asking . By then everyone will cursing and swearing at the pple who suggest that . The ideal world exist only in your dreams .
-
You ask for that, they charge you more. Discrimination.

tink it's quite a dumb and impractical suggestion, what now, men and women can't even take the same transport??
if u realli wan to be safe, then wrap all women up in public, and separate EVERYTHING with men, eating areas, smoking zones, pedestrian lanes, buses...
come on, use yr brain, imposing blanket bans like above is not a solution at all

Oh PLEASE...this is Singapore, people.
If we actually have to have those "ladies only" carriage, it will only goes to show how uncivilised and under developed we are as people. The fact that we do not have such implementations show that our citizens are mature and responsible people...unlike the people in countries whereby they have those (goes to show that their citizens are still pervs, that's why they need it even though it is in the 21st century???)
Anyway, if SMRT were to implement a special single carriage for disabled & elderly people, pregnant women & people riding bicycles, I would support. But ladies only carriage? LMAO

A special single carriage for disabled & elderly people, pregnant women & people riding bicycles is a good idea to implement during off peak hours.

men = take bus
women = take mrt

Next, there will be a request for girl's/children only train.

then when we have the female-only train..
the younger women will say the older women are crude & disgusting.
then they'll have carriages for women 21-45 years old, >46 years old...
then the more fashionable ones will say those wear cheap clothes are uncouth.
then they'll have carriages for women wearing branded stuff, women wearing cheapskate stuff.
then the ones whose husbands are picking up from the mrt station will feel they're of a different breed than those taking the feeder service from the interchange.
then they'll have carriages for the women with "seemingly wonderful" husbands & those who take the bus!
the list goes on! -
the timing and charges for peak hour taxis and ERP are already giving us headaches like there's no tomorrow.. no more of such stuff please..

I think SMRT should have a cabin which allow eating and drinking, and have a corner in the cabin to sell food and drinks.
You know typical working adult in singapore is rather busy, everyday rush here and there, so sometimes spending half or one hour is quite long for them.
If they allow people to eat their breakfast and dinner in this eat-and-drink cabin, it can really saves people's time.
Not to mention, it also increase the SMRT profit, which indirectly "perhaps" reduce the transport fair. -
