Donut Supercharged December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 http://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-eyed-fo...nce-centre.html A regional centre for land transport excellence is planned to be established in Singapore. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and International Association of Public Transport (UITP) inked on Tuesday a memorandum of understanding to establish and develop the UITP Centre for Transport Excellence for the Asia Pacific region. UITP chose Singapore to anchor its training, research and knowledge activities for the region because Singapore "has demonstrated excellent public transport development with continued innovation...", LTA stated in a press release. To be housed in the LTA Academy on Hampshire Road, the centre is envisioned to be a one-stop land transport knowledge and research hub with a focus on public transport and sustainable mobility. It will also provide training and support to land transport administrations and practitioners in the region, said the agency. Hans Rat, secretary-general of UITP, a network of transport authorities, said, "Ever evolving societies, changing commuters' behaviors and escalating expectations make managing transportation in a city a 'work in progress' always." LTA chief executive Chew Hock Yong said that through collaboration with UITP, the statutory board "can acquire cutting edge knowledge, which helps to meet our vision to deliver a land transport system that meets the diverse needs of an inclusive society and one that provides for a liveable and vibrant global city." The signing of the MOU comes after Singapore's mass rapid transit network suffered three major train disruptions last week, including one breakdown that affected an estimated 127,000 people. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanK Supercharged December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 to be fair to the gahmen, if you compare the MRT service of Singapore with Batam and JB, it is so much better Wrong. When you compare, you compare with the best or the same level, i.e. London Metro or NY Metro. So compared to them, SMRT is better - cleaner, safer, more comfortable, more convenient. That's why they never compare to 'developing' or 'emerging' countries, i.e. Taiwan, Hong Kong (SAR) > this one automatically downgraded to 'developing' cos under China now. Now you know.

Ai yo, must adapt to how our gahmen like to compare like Gold FM. If you compare against similar level, they will never hear you. Thats why i choose Batam and JB, cos they dont have subway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pchmj Clutched December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 (edited) Actually I like the transport network here, can get to almost every corner in SGP by public transport. I like the information panel in every bus stop, know the exact place each bus is going. The idea is there, but the implementation s*ucks.
