  You take during peak or non-peak period?

  actually during peak is fastest. really fast close door and the time gap between close door and moving off like 1 microsecond like that. 
  
  if non-peak, at jurong east, wait for the NSL train to come in... city hall also wait... tanah merah also wait.. sometimes the train operator switch at tanah merah also talk talk a bit..
  
  so yup. peak is faster.

  Is it so hard to stand for more than 1 hour from Boon Lay to Pasir Ris?

  I know

  MRT=/= Bus.

  Maybe you try Service 23 from Boon Keng MRT(HDB there) to Tampines Int. I stood for the whole PIE.

  Big deal. How long can that section be? Can you compare to all those people who take 23, 190, 700 or 960 everyday?

  I remember someone on another forum mentioned how carriages without seats are just like those livestock ones. When a day comes for MRT to be totally packed, I guess we can see everyone stuffed in it like cattle in a livestock van. =P
