Charter train is ok. But there's only 1 line at a time right?

Were the 5 trains interspersed between all the public running trains.

 

From information available, the 5 trains are at a 7 minute interval, so it could well be possible for SMRT to insert them in between the trains for public.

Why sack?? SMRT public listed. He want to earn more money nothing wrong.

 

This is what u get for having public listed company to run public transport.

My initial response to this was "kelong" also but if you think about it, it makes economical sense and efficiency also. Circle line during lunch time is like 5? 7 minutes apart, squeeze in a train in between wouldn't hurt. A slight inconvenience to the public is ok lah.... Don't say until like it's life threathening like the guy complain pram too big.... Just saying...

If the train services were not really delayed, SMRT was trying to prevent congestion which is good right?

even though i not from ACS lol, as long as the 5 trains are not clusterF together. I don't see anything wrong.

This morning the news says that SMRT responded to LTA, saying the charter trains do not affect normal train operations.

 

And can't possibly SMRT clusterfark 5 trains together. 5 trains at 7 mins apart will cause a 35min train delay for the public. The hoohaa from such a long delay will be even more jialat than what we see now.

Agreed. I think LTA is sending a wrong message that it frowns upon schools and students taking their own initiative to organise themselves using public transport. Unless LTA is admitting that MRT is not a form of efficient & green public transport.

 

In fact, LTA shld be working with the schools to see how this can be enhanced rather than be mindlessly trigger happy.

Actually, I found such events ridiculous when I was in school so I always found an excuse not to attend. Why should such a big group waste time to support a small group of students?

 

ACS is very strong in their Rugby (and proud of it), so it's only natural that the whole school will support the team for the finals. Btw, they trashed St Andrews 28-8.

 

During my sec sch, our concert band is always one of the top 3 school bands in Singapore. And everytime they have competition or concert, we will go and support.

Yes but maybe SMRT shouldn't have allow "charter". But just discuss with ACS, then provide say 3min interval train service instead of 7min intervale service during that period.

Too many pple jelly of seeing "The best is yet to be" on the LCD ticker lol.

from perspective of school, school ask all students to go support. But don't provide transport, sure kana whack by parents [lipsrsealed]
