Not only Buses are used to transport NE Show Kids.
-
For those people who saw a thousand odd pupils from various school at Raffles Place MRT Platform, they are NE Show Spectators that schools asked SMRT to do a special train on each line to transport the P5 spectators to Marina Promenade. ACS (Junior), Jiemen, Baleister Hill, Fernvale are one of the schools that was granted their demand. 3 trains were used. 1 train from Yishun, 1 train from Pasir Ris and 1 from Boon Lay. The first batch of students at the start point will be ushered into the train by NDP Facilitators. This train, like I said it's special and no adults or normal passengers are allowed in the train. The kids will be seated, with the exception of the Northbound students, that needs to stand like a normal peak-hour train. Well, the kids will be seated on the seats and ON THE FLOOR!
Well, luckily only Siemens and Kawasaki C151 Refurbished trains are used. T
To Raffles Place:
Northbound: 3005-3006
East: 3205-3206
West: 3201-3202
From Raffles Place:

But right they should be the ones setting examples -

Not surprise when this is not the very first time that they have done that. In the past, whenever the NDP is held in Padang, Trains were used to transport students over to the city area (Raffles Place MRT / CityHall MRT). I guess, they just want to prevent too many buses to jam up the roads over at the city area. Imagine, 10 - 15 Buses per school. How many buses do we need ?Originally posted by tintinspartan:For those people who saw a thousand odd pupils from various school at Raffles Place MRT Platform, they are NE Show Spectators that schools asked SMRT to do a special train on each line to transport the P5 spectators to Marina Promenade.

Cos, most people prefer waiting for a SBST NEL train which at max is 7 mins wait during afternoon. SMRT one.....9 min, 12min seen before.Originally posted by carbikebus:Then you become SMRT rail route planner lah,N.A.T.O.Sick lah see your post all anti-SMRT ones,Why SMRT got borrow your money is it?SBST give you pocket money every month?Where are your bus fan sense? -
SMRT trains getting crowded every day, even afternoons. weekday 10pm also can forget about a seat
-
Well, dun worry. For Preview Show, SMRT will deploy special train service from Ang Mo Kio to Marina Bay for North and 2-4 minute frequency for East Line.

SBST is SBST pls dun compare,As both Bus & Rail fan we should think of ways to improve not criticise.You know there are unseen reasons why SMRT trains can't deployed at 2-4 mins interval.Originally posted by Scania:Cos, most people prefer waiting for a SBST NEL train which at max is 7 mins wait during afternoon.
