You can always look at LTA's lighter side of things....
�
Look at those feelgood ownself check ownself charts.
�
�
�
�
�
KBW even says to go "vegan" and sometimes take mrt...
�
�
But for me my answer is obvious...
I'd mistaken you blaming PAP �
So it means smrt should shut down the train system when it is raining or lightning, since train sure would breakdown or delay?! And�seems like our�train system can only operate during good weather?

Joined our Downtown Line (DTL) staff to mark the 200th disruption-free day over fried chicken and mashed potatoes (for me). DTL had a delay on 3 May but train service resumed within 30 minutes - this is the threshold for classifying delays as major disruptions, and an indicator that other systems use too. This milestone was hard-earned as the other MRT lines can attest to. 6 days after crossing the 100-day milestone, NSL had a disruption on 25 Apr, and its clock was reset. I understand there was another incident on NSL this afternoon.
Why do we watch over these milestones? Disruptions are inevitable - Hong Kong encountered 12 in 2014. To close the gap with Hong Kong on this metric, we need all our 5 MRT lines to achieve at least 150-day milestone; yes all 5 of them. Right now only DTL qualifies, 4 other lines have not even crossed 100 days. Our gap with Hong Kong is still wide.
To achieve these results, we mark every 100, 150, 200-day crossing, not that we are satisfied with it, but to track our progress and use the occasion to nudge one another on, towards the higher goal.
Working, day-in and day-out, in the trenches exerts tremendous pressure on our public transport workers. We need to keep the spirit up and morale high. Every little achievement helps, and I will always be there with the troops, as I was today with DTL staff.
With DTL crossing 200 days, we can aim to achieve 250 disruption-free days, but we also know that a disruption may still happen. We just got to soldier on.�

In March, SMRT then set up a taskforce to look into faults present in the first three generations of trains. The taskforce found that first-generation trains had dust building up in their air-conditioner motors which worsens their cooling functions. Second-generation trains were found to have air-conditioners with leaking tubes, while third-generation trains had defects that caused a lack of proper control of the air-conditioners.

remembered it was brought up by LHL several years ago at National Day Rally that upgrading of signalling system will enable the trains to run closer ... but its a difficult / challenging task ... to me what's so knn difficult ... engineering only what ... we are not the only metro system in the world.
�
these ministars are paid like average $2 pa and all I hear from them is :-
- this is difficult / challenging
- community has to chip in to help elderly, crime, national security, save water etc ...�
�
so I find paying them to tell me problems is really waste time.
�
when they are paid that amount of salary, I expect to hear solution and outcome ... not problems.�
Errrr.... I dunno that's why I asked
Think you don't take mrt de, that's why don't know?! Thought there are plenty of posters paste all over the train and station, telling you that we are working on it! Lol.

This is how our system and policy work here. Always tell you the problems, no solution and outcome. Worst still when they are so called able to solve the problem but in the end created another problem!
�
Seriously i have doubts on their new signalling system which enable the trains to run closer. Cause with current system which trains run between 2-4 mins, the trains already keep stopping half-way along the track or before a station due to train is still at the next station!? � Imagine when the new signalling system is running with an interval of 100 secs from the current 120 secs? I think the train would stop and go every few metres!

yes i can vouch for that. I had two occasions when lightning struck very very close to me outdoors. Once in primary school when playing football in the storm, the other at a golf course abroad.
�
The lightning makes a damn sharp cracking noise, like a giant whip.
�
And I find you can sense when lightning is about to strike close to you. The air would feel all fizzy, like there's something crackling.
When that happens, immediately dive to the ground, or you die.

Peak hours heavy rain, everywhere sure jam, if no car or never drive, difficult to get taxi ( I don't know about uber though). Take bus also slower due to traffic jam.
Seems like nowadays taking public transport can be more stressful then driving which should not be the case. Driving during peak hours can be quite stress for some due to traffic jam and also scared being risk of accident, road rage etc.. Well..

East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) wasn�t going to let something like an open door on a packed rush-hour train get in the way of punctuality.
With the use of a sheet and a railway employee deployed to prevent passengers from falling through the stuck-open door, the troubled JR Yokosuka Line train ran from JR Hodogaya Station to the major hub of Yokohama Station on the morning of May 11.
JR East said the operation was perfectly safe, but the one-stop ride did cause jitters among the passengers.
�Although the entrance was covered by the sheet, I was scared because the train seemed to be running quite fast,� a university student in his 20s said.
The problem occurred around 7:50 a.m., when one of the doors on the train would not close at JR Hodogaya Station.
Instead of suspending services, JR East attached a special sheet called Kinteimaku, 1.2 meters wide and 0.8 meter high, to the handrails at the open door, and a railway employee rode with the 200 to 300 passengers.
JR East said it decides whether to suspend services or use the Kinteimaku on a case-by-case basis.
�We decided on the appropriate response to the incident after considering the presence of inspectors at Yokohama Station, the large number of station staff, the ease to transfer to other lines, and the time needed to unload passengers,� an official of JR East�s Yokohama branch office said. �It was completely free of anything dangerous.�
The problem door eventually closed at Yokohama Station, but JR East kept passengers off two carriages near the door until the next stop, Shin-Kawasaki Station, as a precaution.
(This article was written by Hideaki Ishiyama and Ikuho Maeda)
The volumes that move through SMRT is seriously nothing (literally) compared with Tokyo. Easily 40M commuters go through the Tokyo rail system every day.

With the use of a sheet and a railway employee deployed to prevent passengers from falling through the stuck-open door, the troubled JR Yokosuka Line train ran from JR Hodogaya Station to the major hub of Yokohama Station on the morning of May 11.
JR East said the operation was perfectly safe, but the one-stop ride did cause jitters among the passengers.
�Although the entrance was covered by the sheet, I was scared because the train seemed to be running quite fast,� a university student in his 20s said.
The problem occurred around 7:50 a.m., when one of the doors on the train would not close at JR Hodogaya Station.
Instead of suspending services, JR East attached a special sheet called Kinteimaku, 1.2 meters wide and 0.8 meter high, to the handrails at the open door, and a railway employee rode with the 200 to 300 passengers.
JR East said it decides whether to suspend services or use the Kinteimaku on a case-by-case basis.
�We decided on the appropriate response to the incident after considering the presence of inspectors at Yokohama Station, the large number of station staff, the ease to transfer to other lines, and the time needed to unload passengers,� an official of JR East�s Yokohama branch office said. �It was completely free of anything dangerous.�
The problem door eventually closed at Yokohama Station, but JR East kept passengers off two carriages near the door until the next stop, Shin-Kawasaki Station, as a precaution.

I think they should spend the $60m to reward their staff better and on train maintenance ....
research lab .... really?
if invest the $60m in changing all the wear and tear parts ... reliability can shoot up 60% liao !
it's like spending $400k to rename Marina Bay to Marina Bay
�
does that mean after spending $60m ... the research report is to highlight the importance of train maintenance?

SMRT and NTU set up S$60m research lab to look into rail reliability

It is understood that SMRT and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) have reduced the evening peak fleet to a maximum of 116 trains, from 118 previously. The two trains were taken from the East-West Line.

This is to reduce the electrical load on the system, until a full investigation into the unprecedented incident is completed.

�
Distracted + Ownself Grade Ownself B = 2.25mil
�
Distracted + Ownself Grade Ownself A = 4.5mil

�
Where got blame culture?
�
Eh hullo... already say is just a "remark" niah....
�
Just like the many PAP euphemism beforehand... there is a difference between what PAP says and what we understand. You are PSC scholar? No right? Then cannot expect to understand the difference just like me.
�
�
�
Let me add to my own quick reference list in case I need to revise their true meaning:
�
political euphemism (Singapore Version):
�
- flooding = ponding
�
- policy U-turn = policy rethink
�
- 1 million/gold taps = peanuts
�
- monkey middle fingering = twitter noob
�
- PAP MP f*** around with other people's wife = personal discretion
�
- MRT breaks down more frequently = more reliable
�
- Remarks = blame culture
�
�
�
Blah blah blah....here comes blame culture. Where's GKY?

Maybe he got appear lah.. But people though is Hui ge.I notice Khaw never show-face during breakdowns like Tuck Yew did.
