No surprise, hard worked systems sure breakdown one day. Not like London and Tokyo have 365 days smooth running... We just had our day today loh...
few months ago, i boarded from khatib to yck, i was surprised that no NB train came along this stretch, it was a major breakdown, NSL needs overhaul
NSL is e oldest mrt line le..
perhaps u can walk home
I think we need a new train operator from overseas to take over the current.

It depends.
If MTR Corp or a kabushikigaisha runs, there's hope.
If it's any transport giant based in the US or UK, good luck......!
Personally, when I was in HK, I think that their MTR is better than our MRT.

yeah la
but you see many places where they've land, they've gone for BRT instead.
Originally posted by ^tamago^:they also can’t afford the capital investment… esp places where cars and highways are cheap.
dun forget back in 80s, we weren't really able to afford for a big MRT project either
we aren't tat well off like now
wait wait... isn't e price of land and road propotional to how intensely e land is used?
Originally posted by ^tamago^:but the population has grown since the 80’s without MRT it’ll be worse
we could that’s why we have MRT now, but it’s whether we can sink this money down, take the risk and see the benefits….
but when you can’t get to & out of where you stay, your land value also dip ma
yeah la
it's a game tat played off. I remembered back then my dad was telling me, we're lucky to get it done w/ relatively low bids
funding was quite an issue, dun forget tat time our fighter jets were still either 2nd hand or from remaining surplus spare parts left in wharehouse ppl dun want
