  That's really a 2-party fault, the Station Manager and it's also your fault. I'm not trying to add more salt to your wound after the incident, but really, as a S'porean, wherever you go, you are to follow the law. There is such things as $3 minimum and that you are MISUSING COSSESION EZ-LINK CARDS, d*** a**!. When in Rome, DO as the Romans SAY (not asking you to go to Rome, btw if your English is that poor). That means, follow what's in the law. As for the Station Managers, they think that they are some BIG SHOTS that can just rule the commuters as they like (with the exception of friendly Station Managers and Customer Service Officers). They try to threaten us with their what "NO EATING/DRINKING RULE", esp for the elderly and the babies and 1 more that's familiar is "NO PHOTOGRAPHY RULE". I mean, excuse me, Mr/Mdm Station Managers, since when does the Land Transport Authority say there is such a rule. I was caught once but I explained," Sir, don't you know this train was miscoupled wrongly for more than 2 weeks? In Changi Depot leh?!" See other big cities with metros, they are the quintessence as in allowing commuters take photos, as compared to Singapore, must ask permission beforehand.

      Well actually TS was co-operative despite him using his son's " fare card " to board the train , ok so since he has not used the public transport for many years so we can forgive him for not knowing abt the $3 rule . But the moment he uses the side gate next to the gate machines . He is in big wrong already . Because that gate is only for staff to use and to facilitate handicapped pple or those needy persons as and when the station staff deem fit . Not for TS to use as " normal " adult  just for the excuse of rushing . 

    No matter which station you go , as long as the moment you use that gate to get through , i can assure you that you will stand 50% chance of being questioned  or even scold you for using it .

     Just because you are in a rush doesn't give you the right to use the gate . Everyone is in a rush in the peak hrs , so can they use the gate too ?If this was your companys property do you like pple to do that too ?

    Since you seldom take public transport , then you should take this as a lesson learn abt the rules . As for the police being " heavily armed " , i believe their " stuff " are abit heavy but not to the extent that you have written . As for being rude , well go ahead and complain , this is your right to complain so go ahead .

     If the police are indeed heavily armed , all tourist in sg whom sees them will definitely fly back home and tell pple that sg needs heavily armed police to maintain order . And you also won't see so many FT around .

  I in NCDCC and during CCA trips I oways use that gate hahax..

  firstly, its called ez link card, no longer farecard.
  next, if I''m not wrong, blue colored cards were, had been and always for adult anonymous cards. whats wrong with sharing cards, if that card is adult anonymous?

  The TS said that he used his SON'S concession blue card.

  can all those talking about concession cards please read properly? 

  "I use my son's blue color farecard"

  a son doesnt have to be a school-going son, he can be a working adult. sheesh.

  leaving through the gate is wrong though, but it is mainly because the CSOs ignored him and attended to others.

  I am thinking he probably annoyed the staff with his stand that he has enough value in the card to leave and only have coins with him, not having enough to top up the card.

  If it is a serious matter, please report it to the management of SMRT Corporate Communications. They will handle the matters thoroughly.

  Don't email Saw Phaik Hwa, a good-for-nothing CEO.

  The one who wrote this letter should be caned... He used his child's Ezlink card. Cheapskate still boldly dare complain.
  
  Anyway, the SMRT manager was right. He should have been more brutual and used handcuffs to handcuff him and call the police. He has committed cheating, a serious criminal offence.

  ç”·å­�声称：被当罪犯　æ�­åœ°é“�没付钱é�­5è­¦‘大围æ�•’

  男�声称，在地�工作人员对他�����，他�穿越控制室�的加大闸门离开。

   

  ç”·å­�å��地é“�没付钱，声称因ä¸�满控制室人员的æ€�度硬闯闸门å�Žï¼Œç»“果被5å��全副武装的警员如å�Œæ�‰æ��怖分å­�一样，“请”回控制室。

  一�中年男�于本周一（6月28日）在论��帖，�述自己�地�的�历，并声称被地�控制室人员无�对待。

  该男�表示，他刚从海外移居回�，当天早上因车��去维修，便拿了儿�的�人车资�从西部�乘地�，到�于�诺士的公�。

  他大约在早上8时50分抵达�诺士地�站，�因车资的储值�够而闸门�开。

  ç”·å­�立刻å�‘控制室人员求助，但他声称控制室人员æ€�度å��分ä¸�å�‹å–„，什么都没有å�‘他解释就让他在闸门内等。僵æŒ�约10多分钟，男å­�因上ç�­å¿«è¿Ÿåˆ°äº†ï¼Œå°±ä¸¢ä¸‹ä¸€å�¥“我先走，å‚�晚æ‰�回æ�¥è§£å†³é—®é¢˜”å�Žï¼Œå°±ä»ŽæŽ§åˆ¶å®¤æ—�边的残障闸门离开地é“�站。

  �是，就在他离开控制室�10米左�，就被站长和5�全副武装的警员包围。

  男�声称站长在对他破�大骂时，5�警员也将手放在武器上，�好了准备。

  他写é�“：“他们就好åƒ�在æ�‰æ��怖分å­�，警员之å�Žè¦�求我和他们返回控制室，我也答应了。我当时就åƒ�是å��æ��怖分å­�，或æ‹�摄裙底风光的å�˜æ€�狂一样，被押回去。”

  站长�他破�大骂，�但手指乱指，还�沫横飞�

   

  男�声称，被警员带回控制�，站长便对他破�大骂，指责他欺骗车资，并�给他开两张罚�。

  男�表示，该站长完全��他的解释，还�他��装作�知�车资�内至少�有3元的规定。期间，还用手指指他，并对他大喊大�。

  blue concession is adult. I am currently using the blue(EZ-Link)concession card.

  you know, theres really a contradiction here. Coz if he used his son's concession card, wouldn't it be ok since its just 55 cents. I've used concessions on CEPAS before and it could definitely go with less than 3 bucks.

  Maybe the concession card already expired. So there definitely is no cheating here.

  Besides, if it was about the concession card, the manager would've known.

  Really, how the fuck can you cheat with a CEPAS card? Its not really possible.

  to those who cirticise the SM, please hear out. like one guy say, using the sidegate is can amount to some serious trouble for the SM, for the TS, sorry but your actions like that could cost him his JOB, his ricebowl, what you did was only forcing him to act in what he had to act- by the book.

  Coincidentally, from the day that happened, every SMRT station seems to have prevented people from using the flap gates.
