Similarties between Singapore's MRT and Hong Kong's MTR
-
I did this research based on by Hong Kong trip a few years ago (no videos available coz I don't have a camera yet. :( ) And found many many similarties between their services and ours.
The results:
-
STARIS shows direction of travel leh.
-
Can anyone tell me if HK's MTR is as packed as Singapore's MRT during peak period?
I am always curious to know.

It will turn crowded. Depending on the time, it may be less crowded than our MRT, or it may be as crowded as our MRT.
-
It would be interesting if there is also travel fares, comparatively of HK and Sg.

MTR is less crowded during peak hours than our MRT. Reason being when the Hong Kongers hear the doors closing announcement, they immediately stop, not like us, chiong in.
Anyway, Nam Cheong is only cross-platform for the TCL towards Hong Kong and WRL towards Tuen Mun. Kowloon, Hong Kong and Central are not cross-platform interchanges. You missed out Tai Wai station for the ERL towards East Tsim Sha Tsui and MOS towards Wu Kai Sha.
Hong Kong doesn't have terminal numbers. The number in the circle is actually the platform number.
Tanah Merah can be considered a cross-platform interchange too. HarbourFront has turnabout tracks for both NEL and CCL.
-
I am sure that the hong kong people stop when they hear the door closing, not because they can't go in as there is evidently no space left.
I am also sure that people in singapore start to squeeze in after the hearing the door closing announcement, even if there is no space left.

I guess I got confused then. When I went there there's no such thing as "KCR West Rail" yet.
Also, there weren't any PSDs... yet.
When I got onto the K-train I was like "omg da door sunk in!!!".

I love hk's "STARIS" system. Shows direction of travel and which line the interchange stn serves, i.e. when reach city hall interchange (direction towards jookoon, ewl), the lights at the nsl would blink indicating the line the interchange serve.

Yup i know what you mean, haha, took hk mtr last dec when went for holiday.I love admiraty mtr station (cause i love oceanpark) , one bad thing about that the cross platform transfer for admiraty seems too far.

yeah i wish, i find it much easier to look at and nicer too (:, better then the system map which is small ): But sg wont do it, even if they do it they would wait till the downtownline stg 1 is completed, cause they wont replace all the expensive STARIS map till then. -
Unless the EWL/NSL rolling stocks are going to run on CCL/DTL/whatveer line, why should the STARIS thing be incorporated in the other rolling stocks?
Each line could jolly well hv their own "STARIS" indicator

All our trains and buses got ghosts. Ghosts in buses are usually located in the back, ghosts in trains are usually located right in the middle of any 2 doors in all cabins.

Don't take the meaning literally..What he means is that when people clog at the front portion of the bus or near the doors of the MRT then there's 1 big gap at the back of the bus or at the middle of the train car. There got ghosts lor.
