A Mentally Disabled Boy and Danger on train 035/3351

Erm... There are many networks around the world that uses ATO operation (not your Japanese style which is actually called ATP or ATC) and Singapore is one of them.Originally posted by jetabt767400:I shall not argue furthur here, but the operations of trains that require operators are the same world wide.
If you look in the cab carefully, you'll see two green ATO start buttons. The driver has to press both of them together to start the train. All 3 types of train are capable of ATO. -
I know about it. The ATO system other countries use. But Japanese systems are more reliable at times, and many lines in Japan do not use ATO as it limits the train drivers' control of the train. ATS (Automatic Train Stop) is also divided into ATS-P (Pattern), ATS-S (Stop) and ATS-Pn (Pattern new). Shinkansen bullet trains use ATO as well. More infomation we don't flood the forum, just message me using the wonderful function and I can talk more, as I am very interested in train operations too.

shouldn't this be in the mrt forum?
-
If I am not wrong, there is no MRT forum. If it exists, please paste a link and I will fly there.

Sure I guess its not too popular so it did not catch my eye, thanks anyway.
I would not really think its a good idea to close this thread for the time being but I will post furthur MRT related posts there. -
Maybe SMRT should implement a Half-Emergency Comm Button. Use it while it is not a Life threatening situation, but still an emergency. Or in every train, put CCTV. Then SMRT will ask for a fare hike again.Originally posted by jetabt767400:Sure I guess its not too popular so it did not catch my eye, thanks anyway.

if transport fares can increase, why our demands cannot increase?Originally posted by samtlk:The standards are not dropping...its just the complains are increasing, Singaporeans are getting more demanding. -
We are not really complaining but giving positive comments and making our lives and everybody's life easier. Our complains do not necessary warrant a fare increase.
Some companies in Singapore have been treating comments lightly. For example a publications company from where I subscribe a monthy periodical delivers it only on the day when others can find it in the newstands. Why would I want the magazine delivered when I can get it in just a few minutes walk? We pay for it to be earlier, but this does not apply to newspapers and such.
More money we pay definitely equals to much better service, however, we cannot be too demanding as well. We pay for the safety of our journey, although paying more for my magazine does not mean that it would arrive at my home in the same condition as when it gets out from the printing machine. -
Then we will have two buttons?Originally posted by MuLaFlaga:Maybe SMRT should implement a Half-Emergency Comm Button. Use it while it is not a Life threatening situation, but still an emergency. Or in every train, put CCTV. Then SMRT will ask for a fare hike again.
But really, would like to know what are the situation that we ought to press the emergency button. It brings the train to a halt at the next station or prevents it from leaving the station. So what are those situations? -
I do not really know how to answer that, bu definitely in my situation I guess its not necessary to press. You can see my previous posts where discussion of the button's usage is displayed.
As long as it is not life-threatening it is ok. -
There is no fixed answer to that question. Its just like calling 999. A small case like a breakin u call 999. A big case like murder also 999. There is no clear line of what is emergency and what is not...it is up to the individual to decide.Originally posted by Croaking_Toad:But really, would like to know what are the situation that we ought to press the emergency button.

The standard is the same....Originally posted by samtlk:The standards are not dropping...its just the complains are increasing, Singaporeans are getting more demanding.
but its the complain that keeps coming for no good reason that lead us to believe that standard is really dropping
all you guys do is complain and complain....and complain... and i am here complaining about u complainin...haiyo -
Complaining might be good in a certain sense, the company is looking at this as a way to gauge their performance. If there are no complains, there would be essentially no comments. The service provider would just continue on the way it is until someone gets injured or killed.
If the company did not review my case, they would go on in a mindset that drivers do know what to do, and that dangerous or potentially dangerous people can go on to harass people on board the train. Until one fine day, a dangerous person beats up commuters in the train and someone gets injured. It would not be a happy ending after all.
Companies of all types should look into the matter. I am not saying that companies do not look into comments, but its just that they do not look deep enough. I do believe that cockcroaches have existed in buses for a long period of time, but why we can still see them after so many complains?
