MRT sucides cured.
-
Heres my suggestion. Pending approval from LTA
Problem
1) How come these people who faint or get dizzy or trip (or watever reasons that cause them to trip over the platform), only does it when the train enters the station???
My recommendation is...
1) Increase MRT waiting time so that these people who are tripping can trip before the MRT arrives. The current arrival rate is too high thats why, theres a high level of accidents.
2) 1 hour waiting time looks good. 200 people can trip and fall and escape with bruises and not die. People who are really thinking of committing sucide will get so bored waiting for the train and think of alternative methods. AND MRT FARES WILL GO DOWN BECOZ WE NEED ABOUT 3 TRAINS for the entire system only!!!!!

Yes no_speeding to reduce the number of road accidents I suggest reducing the speed limit on expressways to 20km/h and normal road to 10 km/h.

may get stampeded by hundreds of legs when a MRT comes in?Originally posted by skyfoo:how about replace all the vehicles with legs? no fatal accident and at worst, when u fall, only broken head. -
Haha... Like LTA can afford. Singapore is a country by which is a fast paced one. If LTA increase the waiting time, LTA is gonna to face a backlash from the public. Not only tat, investors from other countries who like SG coz of its can-do attitude will not want to come to SG coz most of them view that easy accessiblity is a must to set up companies and factories. If the waiting time is increased, the public will have to take other transport modes like bus, taxi, car, etc. If the public do that, they noumber of cars on the roads of SG will increase tremendously despite of the COE and road tax. Thus, backfiring the attempts by the govt. to stablize the no. of cars on the road. This in turn will lead to an increase of petrol consumption. This will lead to a higher price of petrol and a more accelerated rasie of gobal warming. In view of the recent oil price hike, this move is not recommended as it will impact the taxpayers more. Who wants a more polluted and hotter SG?Originally posted by no_speeding:Heres my suggestion. Pending approval from LTA

I recomend that 1)the LTA to bulid more seatings on the train platforms so that there will be more space for ppl to seat. 2)In the Sunday Times a few weeks ago, some one wrote iin a comment that Singaopreans are like preparing a race or something when the train is about to arrive the platform. I urge Singaporeans to be not kiasu or kiasi when the train in approaching the platform, as this will lead to the pushing forward motion that may cause ppl to fall on to the tracks. 3) As the weather in SG is hot, LTA can install fans to circulate the air on the raised platforms as the heat may lead to fainting. 4) I urge Singaporeans to be more considerate when others are not feeling well. Ask them whether they need to seat, if so give up the seat on the platform. The station masters can pitch in when ppl are about to faint by provideing water for them to drink as some faint due to lack of water. -
i suppose mrt is also a vehicle?Originally posted by huiz:may get stampeded by hundreds of legs when a MRT comes in? -

like that sure no more accident on MRT tracks. -
Economy will suffer, unless england where there's a few hours of waiting time for a train..
Singapore MRT users number by the millions... -
aiya, singapore public is oredi complaining now, what's the diff?Originally posted by dualplex:LTA is gonna to face a backlash from the public.
Foreigner investors in singapore don't take MRT lah, they drive. Accessibility to these investor is about easy export out and import in, not MRT. what has MRT got to do with setting up companies?Not only tat, investors from other countries who like SG coz of its can-do attitude will not want to come to SG coz most of them view that easy accessiblity is a must to set up companies and factories.
More cars on the road means more ERP collections, more COE collections, higher petrol tax collection...wah lau, government revenue another may set record!! Whether we pay more tax depends on whether government want to reduce income tax or not, got nothing to do with MRT.If the waiting time is increased, the public will have to take other transport modes like bus, taxi, car, etc. If the public do that, they noumber of cars on the roads of SG will increase tremendously despite of the COE and road tax. Thus, backfiring the attempts by the govt. to stablize the no. of cars on the road. This in turn will lead to an increase of petrol consumption.

Better enclose the place, aircon so that our students can go there and study.I recomend that 1)the LTA to bulid more seatings on the train platforms so that there will be more space for ppl to seat.
We can employ some pretty nurses on standby duty on each station platform and put up signboard to tell those who cannot tahan can come and faint in the arms of the nurses. When another passenger is about to faint, the first one should be considerate to give up the "arms" to the next.3) As the weather in SG is hot, LTA can install fans to circulate the air on the raised platforms as the heat may lead to fainting. 4) I urge Singaporeans to be more considerate when others are not feeling well. Ask them whether they need to seat, if so give up the seat on the platform. The station masters can pitch in when ppl are about to faint by provideing water for them to drink as some faint due to lack of water.
The nurses can also act as counsellors to counsel those who want to suicide. In case they want to die because no girlfriend then may be the nurse want to marry him. Wah!! we prevent a suicide, we encourage early marriage, and when they give birth to many children, we achieve our government call to encourage more babies. One bird really hit many many stones. -
u really think too much... -_-"

you must be joking, right?

1) Number of cars on the roads are limited by COE quota. So the number of cars will reamin about the same even if there is no mrt.
2) Rise in petrol prices is not determine by the number of cars or the govt. Its determine by the cost of crude oil from Nymex and Brent.
3) Bulding more platform chairs will increase cost for commuters. not exactly feasible. How many of us use them anyway? All of us juz wanna squeeze into the train in double quick time when the train arrive. No time to sit down.
4) Singaporean Kiasu? Come on... been ard too long liao. Already part of life in singapore. Anyway, for ur info, i dun think anyone who died thus far was kiasu...
5) actually, all ur suggestions involves raising cost... Can u think of something that is effective yet do not raise cost? $2 dollars from Boonlay to pasir ris is damn expensive for a mrt ride.... Dun really think it should go up anymore. Cant afford liao..

Just install infra-red devices to forewarn anyone coming to near to the MRT track with a blip to attract attention of the rest or MPT attendants.

How about asking their immediate kins to pay fines?

crap loh. what will happen to people during peak hours? one train in one hour is definietly not enough. trains coming every 3 mins during peak hours can't pack everyone in, what makes u think every one hour works?!Originally posted by no_speeding:Heres my suggestion. Pending approval from LTA

that's actually a pretty good idea.Originally posted by robertteh:Just install infra-red devices to forewarn anyone coming to near to the MRT track with a blip to attract attention of the rest or MPT attendants. -
Got big luminous yellow line also cannot register as a warning sign..Originally posted by robertteh:Just install infra-red devices to forewarn anyone coming to near to the MRT track with a blip to attract attention of the rest or MPT attendants.
Will a blip make a difference?
Hmm.. perhaps it shd trigger a loud announcement like..
"Hoi.. siow eh... le buay zai si ah!" -
Luminous lines were tramped upon everyday by everyone so they were taken for granted. A loud blip will make everyone around look at him as some kind of alien creature.Originally posted by yoongf:Got big luminous yellow line also cannot register as a warning sign..

Face is important to keep. It will work. The blip can come with a dialectic or some other sharp message to add culture to our station. Hahaha. -
PArdon me but i think u guys are missing the pt here.
1) Can anyone explain why do these people fall only when the train comes into the station?
Any device would do no good if the root of the cause if not nipped. -
A few more tips:
Re-make all the roads to add speed humps every 10 metres to prevent speeding, and add road spikes with sensors to deter the adventurous.
Also, introduce Pay as you Use Cars, in which you top up a pre-paid card and use it to activate use of the car, so you can only use what you can afford, just like the scheme for PowerSupply! How ingenious!
Cars are to be fitted with automated speed reductors to force the vehicles to brake when they approach junctions. This is in line with the Traffic Police's advice for all motorists to slow down at intersections.
MRT trains will enter stations at 3 km per hour under manual control to allow the driver to stop the train immediately if someone with suicidal tendencies jumps onto the tracks.
Subliminal programming to be broadcasted over the PA system to deter passengers from jumping onto the tracks. BONUS: Includes pro-PAP information, to keep the population happy and satisfied. No dissent = economic bliss! -
Actually, leave the cars out...
i think its the MRT thats causing the probs..
