  SMRT- One main RTS operator which also operates a relatively small bus network SBS- One main bus operator which also operates a single RTS line Its shall be kept this way. SMRT FTW!:P

  where's e problematic issue?

  Frequency vis a vis demand wise, they can cope off peak load better than SMRT.

  I would dare to say CCL sucks terribly in terms of ops, having senseless SWT for dunno wat.

  Seriously, I dunno how inept SMRT is over dwell time.

  Waited for me to play hard ball before TO dare not press buzzer as they wish.

  The thing is, it's becoming to surface inbalance loading.

  The trains arr SGN or BSH are not balanced in load. Full trip is 1.5 to 2x higher than SWT.

  I think SBST should be the one to take control over the operation of DTL. It doesn't make sense if almost all lines being under SMRT, when the government wanted to bring in competitiveness between the two companies.

  Somehow I prefer SBST, but I really hate their announcements.

  I don think tat SMRT copes worse in frequency wise .  NS-EW Lines much more crowded than NEL . Especially during peak hours . I was on my way from Outram Park to Tiong Bahru one day , and I had to wait for the 4th train despite it having 1-2min frequency (Which is really fast alrdy ) as there was jus too many people  . SMRT/LTA is also upgrading the signalling system so that the trains can come at a even faster frequency . But currently , this is all SMRT can do .

   

  But I agree with CCL 's operation sucks though . Hope SMRT can improve on it~
