Isn't this suppose to be LTY's master plan? Even LHL said his work will take a couple of years to see results. Jin wayang, buay paiseh kbw claim credit for the work most likely not done by him. If LTY did plan for the expansion of the rail network surely he will include in his plan to buy more new trains.

and share price of SMRT and SBS Transit spiked .... hmmm ...

Cos they got free help in maintaining d system from LTA despite collecting d handsome profits mah.

Just thinking even LTA take over MRT, will there be any difference and will the MRT system lesser breakdown and more reliable than currently?

�

I believe the current system cannot tahan until 2023, cause the MRT system is beyond hopeless already! Just now around 9pm plus was�at NS line, train interval was 5-6 mins, and the train was super super crowded and i can only get onto the 2nd train after waited for another�3 mins! Total time spent waiting for train was about�8 mins! Such a good "efficient" MRT system we have here!

�

it all a conspiracy , now 8mins is acceptable standards to you.

�

in a few years time, train break down and waiting 15mins to board the trains would become the benchmark :XD: ��

Train breakdown where got wait 15 mins to board only? Much more longer than that lor. Looks like it should be conspiracy, cause nowadays noticed that the train interval is getting longer. Even during peak hours, train can comes at 3-4 mins!�Hardly can see 2 mins interval train now.

Wasn't there a website which posted everything on a map regarding all breakdowns?

With d additional of new lines, new stations and additional trains, likely more breakdowns with transfer of additional loads to d main NSL & EWL to cope unless d operators increase d frequency of d trains to lighten d loads. It requires HK qos to achieve 2 mins leh.

Think SMRT said before, the current train system by default cannot�handle the short frequency of the train, the shortest frequency that they can go is 100�sec only. And i have doubts when they shorten the frequency to 100 sec next year, will the system really can handle�the 100 sec frequency on the actual run?!

Another breakdown from boon lay to joo koon now. Pity those who stay in jurong west.

The preliminary design was supposed to be for that speed.�

I doubt upgrading the tracks and lighter cabins would help with faults relating to power.

In the preliminary design, the power supply is overhead which is easy for fault finding compared to the aesthetically pleasing 3rd rail.�

New DTL2 a step towards a 'car-lite' city: PM Lee

New DTL2 a step towards a 'car-lite' city: PM Lee
By Kenneth Lim
POSTED: 26 December 2015 at 11:59 AM
UPDATED: 26 December 2015 at 11:06 PM

SINGAPORE: The new Downtown Line 2 (DTL2) is a step towards Singapore becoming a "car-lite" city, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at the opening ceremony of the line on Saturday (Dec 26), held at the Botanic Gardens station.

"The LTA's tagline for their public comms campaign for DTL 2 is 'Give your car a break', and we hope you will give your car a break too. Hopefully the morning jams on Bukit Timah Road can become a thing of the past," said Mr Lee.

"Ultimately, we aim to make Singapore a safe, green, car-lite city where all Singaporeans can get around the island conveniently, and connect with their friends and families seamlessly," Mr Lee said. "The DTL2 opening today, is a step in towards becoming that city."

The Downtown Line opens to the public on Sunday. There are 12 stations on the line, from Bukit Panjang to Rochor, and travel time from Bukit Panjang to Bugis is expected to take 20 minutes less compared to previous methods.

In his opening address, Mr Lee said the direct connection to town was something Bukit Panjang and Bukit Timah residents have "long been looking forward to."

A Bukit Panjang resident echoed Mr Lee's comments.

"Usually I go to school in the morning, and it's the peak hour, so the bus is super crowded with people, and we have to like squeeze in, no place to sit and we have to stand all the way to school,"said Ms Anna Lum. "I think with the help of Downtown Line we can get a seat, we'll reach school quite early."

MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC Liang Eng Hwa said the DTL will be a "game changer" for his residents.

"For many years we've always had transport problems, whether it's public transport or road transport. I think with the opening of the Downtown Line it will improve connectivity in a big way, and I hope we'll see a big change in the travel patterns for residents," he said.

Train rides on both the DTL 1 and 2 are free from Dec 27 to Jan 1 - but only if commuters start and end their journey at a Downtown Line station.

DTL2 COULD FACE "TEETHING ISSUES"

During the free service period, the Ministry of Transport will deploy extra staff to help with any overcrowding, wrote Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan in a blogpost on Saturday.

"Our immediate priority is for a good start. My worry is that there may be severe overcrowding. It is a Sunday, during a holiday season, there is novelty value, and travelling is free. If too many rush in to be among the first wave of commuters, there will be overcrowding and long waiting time," wrote Mr Khaw.

"We will deploy extra staff to man the stations and many goodwill ambassadors to guide the commuters," he added. "We will do our best to ensure a pleasant service for all."

To help mitigate any overcrowding, Mr Khaw said his Ministry will inform commuters of the level of crowdedness at the DTL stations. "So do check via MyTransport.SG app and better time your trip accordingly," he said.

The Transport Minister also requested that commuters do not all rush down to check out the new stations on Sunday.

"Please spread out, and there is no need to rush," he said. "DTL is here to stay, and there will be plenty of opportunities to experience its wonders, including the artwork in each station."

"I will be there tomorrow to observe; I hope it will be a good experience for all," he added.

In another blog post on Dec 21, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan warned that teething issues, such as train disruptions could be expected during the first few months of operation, despite despite thousands of tests being done on the system.

This includes a very large number of tests on the integration between DTL1 and DTL2, he said.

Mr Khaw wrote that engineers said a typical �bedding-in� period of several months is needed before the system stabilises. He added that engineers have spent many months preparing and testing the entire system, from the operations control centre to the trains and tunnels.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT FARE DOWN FROM DEC 27

Public transport fares will also be reduced by 1.9 per cent from Sunday. Adult card fares will be lowered by 1 to 4 Singapore cents, depending on travel distance. Student and senior citizen concessionary card fares will go down by 1 to 2 Singapore cents.

Prices of all monthly concession passes, monthly travel passes, cash fares and single trip ticket fares will remain unchanged.

For me, I take the bus to town because I have many buses from my house headed there and the buses are usually not crowded.

�

I live far away from MRT so anywhere that needs me to take the MRT, I will prefer to drive since the bloody mrt is also always so crowded and I hate it when I don't get a seat.

�

If they manage to make it more convenient and comfortable, I'm sure car-lite Singapore is possible.

Getting a seat on mrt is quite difficult nowadays. Even some buses also cant get a seat. I guess they are now making it convenient for people to take mrt, as for comfortable i think still far from it. As taking public transport now confirmed is not comfortable.

You think these rich people will leave their cars at home meh?! Lol.

I'm not rich but I hate traveling on the MRT, buses not so bad, but behaviour of people especially those with kids on the MRT gets right up my nose.

Signalling fault causes delays on DTL2

�

Zhaki Abdullah | The Straits Times | Wednesday, Dec 30, 2015

�

Commuters using the Downtown Line 2 (DTL2) to get to work yesterday morning found that there were delays on the new line.

�

Mr Zhi Cong, 23, said the train he boarded at Bukit Panjang did not move out of the station for about eight minutes.

�

"After the train reached Sixth Avenue, it was stuck again for another eight minutes," said Mr Zhi.

�

Lawyer Lyv Meah, 37, said the platform doors failed to open at Rochor station, causing a delay.

�

She added that the train she was on moved "slowly and jerkily" towards Bugis after the problem with the doors was rectified.

�

SBS Transit's senior vice-president for corporate communications Tammy Tan said that slow service on the line was caused by a signalling fault at Rochor station at 9.10am yesterday. "The fault was rectified soon after and trains could resume their regular speed at about 9.18am," she added.

�

The DTL2 was officially opened on Sunday, covering a distance of 16.6km from Bukit Panjang to Chinatown. In a blog post made on Dec 21 before its opening,

�

Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said that commuters could expect "teething issues".

�

He added in his post that engineers from the Land Transport Authority and SBS Transit had told him that there would be a 'bedding-in' period of several months for the DTL2 before it stabilises.

Judging from the number of people on the buses, quite a sizable population takes public transport. For secondary school, I would estimate 60-70% take public transport in the morning and 90% take public transport when going home.

This was many years back though.

Nowadays, elite must send their kids to school along that road in their chio chio car.� That's why train takeup rate is low.

I think we can assume that take up will generally be poor for primary school - no matter how good the public transport is:

�

1. RGPS,

2. ACS (Pri)

3. SCGS (Pri)�

�

JC should be already almost fully on public transport and will definitely be glad if they stay anywhere along that MRT line

�

1. HCJC

2. NJC

�

Secondary school chaps might take some time to convert (today is just the first day so pang chance)

�

1. HCJC (secondary section)

2. NJC (secondary section)

3. SCGS (Secondary section)

4. ACS (secondary section)

Anyone else?

So DTL no use since traffic still heavy in bt timah?! Even super crowded at JE interchange also no change, even�with the opening of DTL?!�

1) Last time vs now. I think take bus got more chance to get seated down. Plus chances of bus breaking down is slim.

2) Car vs train. Even stuck in jam you relac in your car. Train breakdown/delay you get to stand longer and smell body odour if no a/c. Breathe in each others breath.

Let my car take a break and go take train....

�

Let's see majority of the MPs and ministers take train everyday lah. Not bashing any of them but if they want to lead, lead by example.

The crowds at JE interchange usually come from bt batok, cck and bt panjang residents. So thinking if the opening of the DTL, will it be lesser people going to JE change train since now they can opt to take DTL to city?!
