flaws are found only if one looks for it. i don't understand why people like to focus on the black dot on a piece of paper, not the purity of the whiteness that surrounds it.
many constantly praise the taipei mrt or hong kong mtr, claiming that they're more "civilised" and polite than us.
their train system is better, i don't deny, especially for Hong Kong's case. but civilised? don't count on it. ive been in hong kong recently and i find that they are no better than us. I see elderly with walking sticks and not being offered a sit all the way from Tsim Sha Tsui station to Mong Kok station. In singapore, i dont really see that, somehow someone will offer their seats.From my observation our society is family oriented, something we can be proud us. Its a norm to see parents with kids in strollers, elderly with their grandchildren having rides on the train. In Hong Kong, I hardly see the elderly or young on the trains, even in the New Town areas. Their bus stops don't even have chairs. I really pray hard that Singapore will not become that.
Singaporeans don't queue up like the Taipei people do? Can you really blame us? Have you even tried getting on board a train during the peak hours, especially on the green line? The trains run at 2-4 mins frequency, yet its so hard to get on. Will queue-ing really make things better? It will just congest the platform, and we will not get on while the train takes a longer time to get passengers on.
no no no,,..SMRT dun suck, sucking is too slow, they gulp, they take Big gulp our of your real money.
Big Gulp at 7 eleven
They should have double deck train, if not a double deck railway, to accomodate more people to sit inside while saving space horizontally.
