Haha I know (:
Anyway, I guess there would be some difference if they were to extend their Circle Line train to 4-6 cars instead of 3? And perhaps increase more of the frequency, this can "attract" more passengers to choose MRT over buses. In-fact, no matter how crowded the MRT is, you still can board the train(or at most wait about 2-3 trains max., base on my experience).

4-6 cars on Circle Line Trains means that train stations also need to expand...

Anyway, the peak hours problem @ Woodlands Int isn't everyday~
Go and figure out which are the areas that have tree problems... And obviously kids forgot how on earth the double decks managed to appear back in the 1970s... As though Singapore was a Garden city back then... Kampong era... it isn't everyday but it occurs at least once... no one does planning that ignores an issue just because it's not daily problem... -

Excuse me... What logic... So MRT standard is by 2nd or 3rd train.. mmm... actual waiting time is 6 - 9 mins by currently freq level??? -
No wonder... how come COI report some kids say 'dun need to tell us, we know how to read'... cannot even decipher the figures and what they typed out properly... 2nd or 3rd MRT train is ok... but what's the waiting time by then??? 9 mins... Bus QoS max 10 mins?? any diff??

Many roads have trees replace before, whether it is regarding to height restrictions or not. Some purpose is for changing themes, while some is for road widening and construction purposes. There are other reasons that trees have diseases and need to be removed.It is not always necessary to chop off trees if they pose a height limit hazard. NEA can also relocate them further away from the road kerbs or to other parks. However planting higher trees is a more advisable thing in the long run. Not just for double deckers, other nigh vehicles can also use the roads freely without making big detours. It's still a better choice if motorist can use the roads freely and anywhere they can.

trees gotta be pruned one... too high, very difficult for ppl to do inspection...

Increase the frequency dude, CCL frequency is somewhat 4-6mins per train(if you never ride before~) Shorten it to 2-4mins per train would be better, esp. during peak hours. It's a long way to catch up~
Plus, in-case you aren't aware of peak hours issue, waiting for a bus(can be board) ones requires a longer wait than the train~
So there's sure a difference for waiting a train and a bus :) Regardless the fleet have BSEP or whatsover, there's sure be a longer waiting time compared to MRTs~ -

Non peak hours obviously can board the first train without problems... Unless cockup lor

How to increase when the fleet size is 128 for NSEWL, 40 for CCL & 25 for NEL... 18 for BPLRT? you can only make do with the fleet you have... you sure the waiting time for bus is long?? Waiting for 157, 198, 5, 27 is not an issue... -

CCL is 3.5 mins.. fleet size cannot even support 2 mins freq... NSEWL is impossible to have actual 1 min freq... even the new signal system is 100 sec headways -

You sure or not? If LTA/ SBST also plans like this, how come it's only Woodlands Int??? -

CCL rarely, because its fully auto and must adhere strictly to timetable...

moving trees is not easy... and at the rate the govt is using up empty land for housing, have space to put the trees? maybe small trees yes but not those old and huge trees...

But 1 min is possible when trains bunch up. Even the 3 minutes at Jurong East ( > Pasir Ris/Airport) isnt 3 minutes... its lesser

Still impossible... Because they've to stop and start-off... In reality the in between door closing - next train's door opening time is > 1 min -

If SBS3107H ever reads this, just to let him know that as reflected at all bus stops served by the former Bukit Panjang services, the terminating point is known as Woodlands Road, Bukit Panjang Temporary Bus Park.
On SGWiki, his argument was that the bus only parks there and does not pick up. But then again, why do I see Services like 45, 48, 185 still saying Bedok North Depot, Ang Mo Kio Depot, and for Shenton Way, Buona Vista, Marina Centre Services which do not allow boarding/alighting?
What double-standard logic is that? Please enlighten me. -
