  seconds dont really matter.. when u enter the paid area, there are many large screens showing the timings and they dont have advertisements.. and when u see 1min, can start to run or hear the train pulling in

  about the timings, now then i realise i didnt see >7mins timings anymore.. last time i saw a blank screen I thought got an incident happened and the last unaffected train is arriving...

  
  about the seconds issue, dont think its very useful, unless we are saying the trains comes up to 59 seconds late or early, which they dont.. noone will expect them to arrive with a +/- difference of 0 seconds

  SMRT one always most of e time are e ads, e small prints are hard to see from far

  NEL one font size is bigger it seems

  the waiting time wasn't 10 mins... it was at Pasir Ris and the train on the opposite platform was leaving in 3 mins (also the train going to Joo Koon). So actually the waiting time was for the train was 3 mins and then 6-7 mins

  but the waiting time for changi airport -tanah merah is always longer than pasir ris-joo koon or jurong east-marina bay.. so 12 mins is normal

  Agree. donno why the drivers drive so slowly. when the train leaves bnl and makes a curve, pioneer station is alr visible.

  Normal speed, and slows down when approaching Joo Koon as there're trains in front.

  Same as Pasir Ris. If there's a train at the station, the train approaching the station may stop.
