i wonder the last peak hr train wat time will arrive at bishan, tanah merah n ulu pandan depots?
for ulu pandan i think close to 9pm rite? -
SMRT can deploy trains at 2 to 4 mins, they had 1 1/2 mins in the past, currently peak hour is 2 to 4 mins. They just think that peak hour is 7 to 9 am , 5pm to 8pm, other times off peak, then now off peak trains packed. SBS Transit and MTR are so much better.Originally posted by carbikebus: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. -
Yeah, MTR can support 1 min frequency in peak. Before the PSDs were installed, before a train fully left the platform, you could already see the headlights of the next train in the tunnel! And the MTR system is 10 years older then SG's MRT.Originally posted by Scania:SMRT can deploy trains at 2 to 4 mins, they had 1 1/2 mins in the past, currently peak hour is 2 to 4 mins.

Whatever it is they have reasons to do that.I also can say bullet train is the best of all.PeriodOriginally posted by Scania:SMRT can deploy trains at 2 to 4 mins, they had 1 1/2 mins in the past, currently peak hour is 2 to 4 mins.

Ah their reason would be that demand isn't there, crap, they are maximising profit, but this is done at the consumer's loss. This isn't the way SBS Transit, TIBS, MTR do it. The three examples provide good service, good frequency and still able to earn profits.Originally posted by carbikebus:Whatever it is they have reasons to do that.I also can say bullet train is the best of all.Period -
It's the PTC proposal,Not SMRT.SMRT will try hard to increase the frequencies but everytime PTC audit they will be always at loss,UnderstandOriginally posted by Scania:Ah their reason would be that demand isn't there, crap, they are maximising profit, but this is done at the consumer's loss.

Why would PTC try to restrict the frequency? I thought they are trying to improve public transport so less people will use cars?Originally posted by carbikebus:It's the PTC proposal,Not SMRT.SMRT will try hard to increase the frequencies but everytime PTC audit they will be always at loss,Understand -
Too many trains, too little time.
I saw at Clementi yesterday, was several trains entering from JUR too close, and some had to stop at one train distance from CLE. First was a 300 (take second number as series number), stop on the tracks over the junction, next, a 100 (116/115), stop at about one train length from CLE, next was a 0 but refurbished, also came in after stopping halfway. After that this repeated for a 200 (224/223 Siemens) until it became 2 minutes again. During the rush period was about 1 minute per train. Time around 0800hrs. Slight rain in area (CM mode). Thats all I can deduce from bunching trains, a dangerous move...
The above occured in rain, normal conditions, what will happen? -
Guys, abit off-topic lehx.. this is bus forum.. not train forum.

The way we do things of 'law by law' is not going to work for 6m population to think the SMRT network is meant for 1m ppl
Anyway SMRT is considered No 1 operator in profit as a rail operator...
