Check out the following link. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singapor...List.jsp?id=249 With the above, here's something that I like to share:- For a start, I can tell you that PRC commuters won't do that in their own country MRT station as such acts are strongly discouraged by the presence of guards and also punishments will be meted out accordingly. Public transport companies especially SMRT which I believe has the highest no. of users are not doing anything. Why did I say that they are turning a blind eye? It is because such incidents are becoming more common. For the price that we pay, are the profit to be "parked" in the remuneration package?? Can they not deployed guards (job creation) patrolling the station and enforcing certain housekeeping rules to make the journey a more enjoyable event for all? Why have rules, if they are not going to enforce it? To convince more pple to switch and willingly pay for the constant increase in tpt costs, they have to justify why it makes sense to travel with them. Is it because of the lack of competitors that they can exhibit such nonchanlant attitude and get away with it? Aiming for world class service is not about providing things that commuters do not need though appreciated but also address basic issues that they have been sweeping under the carpet. The stompers who contributed the stories are really cowards. If they had gather their courage and speak out, it will motivate others to stand up for basic rights. Why complain and wait for the relevant authorities to do something about it after the matter has happened? Wouldn't it be better if they take up the cudgel and address it themselves? Sometimes, timing really matter when addressing such issues. And if they don't help themselves, would the relevant authorities bother. They have clearly taken the line between courage and cowardice out of context. So, next time, if you do encounter something that is causing your journey to be unpleasant, gather the courage and speak out in a polite manner. Address the issues instead of waiting for others to do it.
