Interesting info... But I don't understand the 'different levels' part....Originally posted by kuekj:notice that the mrts need to turn back, e.g. from bt batok to jurong east back to bt batok. at the case of marina bay, the mrts cant turn back at raffles place cuz they are at different levels. marina bay was actually not in the first private draft of the mrt planners back then in late 1970s/early 1980s, but the need to turn back gave rise to marina bay.

the train was at different level for the same line.. meaning the one to one 1 is example level 1, the other one is level 2... so cant do u-turn... unless same as NEL do reverse... but reverse is impossible for them at that timeOriginally posted by redstone:Interesting info...

Who was the idiot who built the BuangKok station 500m away from the current 2000 HDB residents? A sharp minister would have spotted the flawed plan and corrected it to build the station within the 2000 current HDB resident vicinity!
Guess it was a honest mistake. But now still wayang.
Some leaders we have in the gov.

It is not easy for bus co to get fare hike hor... They have to send in loading fig and sort to PTC and if PTC finds fishy abt the loading fig, have to redo... -
police is investigating who posted the white-elephant...
this is what we call freedom of speech.. like that, also get caught. -
I thought those bloody MIW took it in stride and got to the station to see the white elephant and laugh the matter off. Why investigate? All the bloody request had been thrown out until this white elephants shown up that these bloody MIW and SMRT decided that they could increase the radius to 500m instead of 400m to expedite the opening of Buangkok station. Wonder that the f uck these bloodly elite is doing.Originally posted by Glen999:police is investigating who posted the white-elephant...

don't understand why the police must be so kaypo poke those nose into this?
the way i see it, this is only a creative way for the residents to voice out their opinions. i personally think it's very well done, in good taste too. it's a very efficent way to get the message across. afterall no harm is done, why must they make such a big fuss out of it.
and to think a few ago, PM Goh was telling us to be creative.
