Anyone feels that Singapore is [b]Over Crowded? or its just me. [/b]
not just that, just about out of every 4 people you meet in the street, 1 is not a Singaporean. -
I was just telling my wife when when we had tim sum in Geylang on (Sat or Sun) that just 5 years ago, it is hard to hear anyone speak strange mainland accents... now, because they talk so loudly and they are everywhere, it is hard to avoid hearing it.Originally posted by foxwalk:yeah it does, esp if one takes public transport (esp MRT)

When i see the crowds around me everyday i will think of the million dollars paid ministers and the PAPs. Do you think of them when you see and squeezing in the unpleasant crowd especially everyday?Originally posted by Meilin86:Squeeze to death.

If you could avoid crowds, would you choose otherwise?
Why else do we pay higher prices for the privilege of eating in places where silence and serenity still exist?
I detest our malls because of the sheer volume of people you have. -
Now I know how sardine fish felt!

Actually it's stupid of them to install the barriers.Originally posted by CoolMyth:We are already like this now:
It'll only be worse in the future.
They should have just made the 2 traffic lights on opposite sides the same, can do away with the middle barrier.
I am sure pedestrians would be happier to cross that way than to be stucked in the middle cramped like sardines.
Another no brainer from the government. -
MRT train services disrupted this morning
MRT train services on the East-West line between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah stations were disrupted on Monday morning.
The disruption was caused by a stalled maintenance work train lying between Tampines and Simei stations.
The train is being towed back manually to the Changi depot.
SMRT is providing bus services to commuters at Pasir Ris, Simei, Tampines and Tanah Merah stations.
Train services are expected to resume after 10am.
Although bus services for affected commuters are free, not everyone was happy with the inconvenience.
Stuck like sardines in a can - that was how one commuter described her experience on the shuttle services deployed by SMRT this morning to alleviate the disruption on the East-West line to AsiaOne.
"It was no fun being stuck in a bus so full of people. Now I finally know how sardines in a can feel like," said Ms Tan, who could not board the train at her usual stop in Pasir Ris.
"I heard that the disruption started since 4am in the morning", Ms Tan added. "I don't know why it can take so long for SMRT to clear the problem.
AsiaOne reader Ms Yeong sent an sms to AsiaOne at 11.37am to say that the train services were still down at Tanah Merah station. -
I take the same bus at the same time every morning to work for the past couple of years. Most of the time, I am able to get a seat. But recently, the bus seems to be getting more and more crowded. Today, I had to stand near the entrance steps, and a couple of passengers had to stand on the steps and the bus captain had to deny passengers at the stops further down the route from getting on. Maybe more people are opting to take the buses due to the hike in Taxi fares? Hopefully the promises made by the government to make busses more efficient and convenient will come true.Originally posted by dragg:the trains are crowded even during office hours. -
... this shows that the FAP's system is really getting to that "World Class" standards... -
I read somewhere that they are going to revamp the whole transport system again.
And I thought the transport system couldn't get worse. -

... yeah right, revamp the entire transport infrastructure with higher fares I believe... with efficiency & service standards to a New Low...Originally posted by charlize:I read somewhere that they are going to revamp the whole transport system again.
