Tigerwoods Turbocharged August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 SBS n SMRT always charter buses for private occasions already. Why not trains? I agree buses can go different routes but trains don't. I can only agree to SMRT charter trains during OFF PEAK hours. Cut them some slack lah, this is another revenue source, not disturbing public so I agree. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 True that. But since impact on other commuters were minimal, do you see a need to specially charter trains instead of using the commonly available trains already in operation. In order to have peace in the train when other commuters are around.... Do you remember the fight that happen years ago when two teams (don't want to mention the schools involved) met in a final match. The rival supporters are fighting as the game was on going in the field. So maybe they don't want their students to meet SA students in other stations whilst going to the National stadium ...

Spring Moderator August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 Why do I read Tuck Yew (Transport Minster aka LTA) is from St Andrew?? He's from Chung Cheng High and ACJC. Desmond Kuek is from ACS and ACJC correct. Tuck Yew is ACS Pr, Sec and JC. Not sure about Desmond 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 How many students are there in ACS (I)? If say 800 then one bus 40 pax max only 20 buses. Where got so many as claimed? Sorry ah it stated 3000. I never read :p I heard is ACS (I) and ACS Barker Road combined. ACS Barker lost to SAS in semis but since ACS family, they also came down to support. ACS has very strong alumni and rugby tradition so got alot of supporters as well. Not surprises at the 3k supporters that turned up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhJason 5th Gear August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 (edited) SMRT has been chartering trains since dunno when. I rmb I saw train full of primary school students from same school before. The train slows down when it reaches the station but never stops. That was in 2009, 2010 period Edited August 27, 2014 by AhJason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman81 4th Gear August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 Hmm.....financially wise, ACS will save more money by taking the MRT normally than chartering. It costs $1.84 for adult and $0.60 for students to travel from One North to Stadium. Personally, i feel this episode will give the ACS students something to show off to other schools that they are able to charter trains for their event.

Ktglfc Hypersonic August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 SMRT has been chartering trains since dunno when. I rmb I saw train full of primary school students from same school before. The train slows down when it reaches the story but never stops. That was in 2009, 2010 period I think the issue reported is that actually smrt can charter, but they must get prior approval from lta first. For this case, lta don't know till someone alerted. So, LTA buay song cos it need to answer to public lah 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
