cut down waiting time to 30 seconds, this way there will be less build up of people in the stations which means... less people in the train =)
How many trains you want to bunch every peak hours? The trains will barely move because they are too close to the train in front. The shortest headway you can allow without affecting operational speed is 90 seconds..

If trains are coming in during peak hours at 90 seconds each time and the trains are so fucking packed that you can't get in, what does that tell you? ![]()

e train infrastructure is fully utilised n cannot cope with more trains. so instead of more trains, u create more space in e trains.

30 secs is too short. Those train will stop halfway to let the train infront to leave b4 they can enter the stations.
Have to consider the time people boarding and alighting the train. It usually take abt 30sec or less to board and alight and train hav to slow down when comes to station.
waiting time should be 1-2 mins, maximum is 3mins during peak.

icic, worst come to worst... put up erp. lol
It still amazes me how Singapore won that best passenger experience award.
I suggest, stations such that 15 carriages can fit there? So two trains can stop there at once without causing much problems.

1 train = 6 carriages = approx e length of 12 buses.

Go to the MRT station control and buy a $20 ticket to book a seat on the MRT.
Like airlines.
You want more leg room? Throw in another $10.
Don't blame me if this becomes reality.
They will be charging folks for standing near the exits very soon. ![]()
