mycarforum: ALL consolidated SMRT/NEL/KTM simisai BREAKDOWNS here! part 19

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?!

�

HIgher chance for CCK as it requires 2 LRT stop to reach 10 mile junction.

�

Lower chance for Bkt Batok as it requires 2 MRT stop & 2 LRT stop to reach 10 mile junction.

�

I thought most of the ppl in Bukit Panjang take bus to city rather than NS line.

not convenience cos you need to change to LRT then DTL. EW line just come out from one train and walk into another train.

In this case DTL will become another useless system, which doesn't help lessen the crowds from the main NS/EW line.

i dun see that can ease the crowd from the west, maybe some from the east.

�

I thought it was for people staying in BP and BT area going to town.�

In this case DTL will become another useless system, which doesn't help lessen the crowds from the main NS/EW line.

�

the main load of people are from the outskirts like jurong, CCK, woodlands, ponggol, tampines

they should build lines to from these areas

In this case DTL will become another useless system, which doesn't help lessen the crowds from the main NS/EW line.

�

I'd be surprised if LTA/SMRT/Gov hadn't done their homework with traffic surveys etc before deciding on routing of DTL.

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?

MGS

Pei Hwa Presbyterian

I'd be surprised if LTA/SMRT/Gov hadn't done their homework with traffic surveys etc before deciding on routing of DTL.

�

Don't even need traffic surveys.

Just request MOE to disclose all the students' addresses can already.�

Looks like tis portion of DTL is a white elephant. Most of d schools along here r attended by elites n chauffeur driven. Bad planning.

Then it will be less crowded for working people who work in town area�to take the DTL to work. Cause if no DTL, people staying that area is either take bus or go to NS/EW line to go city area.

�

But i guess the DTL doesn't help much of�reducing the high volume of people at JE mrt transferring towards city and�bt batok, cause the super jam packed situation during the peak hours�still the same even after DTL has opened.

Edited by 13177, 04 January 2016 - 10:12 PM.

Looks like everyone is back to work, this morning train was so super packed!

DTL? How crowded?

The roads also...

�

It was starkly different from yesterday. Maybe�some people took leave to send their children to school yesterday�so there were fewer vehicles running during peak hours.

Usually, beginning of d school term in Jan, many parents will take leave n send their P1 children to school n observe them for 1-2 days.

Hmm, now I am beginning to shudder thinking how heavy traffic will be from Wednesday onwards. Gotta come out even earlier.

Heavy traffic you can still relax in your own car lah, no need to fear train break down or get sardine with people in the train. Lol.

Well, true and false...

�

Especially for vehicles who need to do U-turns during peak hours. Need to siam the yellow boxes and pedestrian crossing. Just kenna 6 points�recently because somebody cut into my lane to avoid LTA camera and trapped my car.�

�

Much also depends on where one lives. But overall, if need to fetch young children, will be tougher to use MRT and buses�than to drive.

Whether need to fetch young kids or not, taking public transport still quite frustrating as compared to drive. Esp when our public transport is so unreliable now. Feel that�taking public transport here�is for short distance only, if for long distance quite hassle and discomfort.

There is no room for you to move. The XMM there, I think used to it liao. They dont mind at all. At least no one shouts molest. [:p]

Sardine in SG is not so bad, as long as train don't break down. [laugh] Waiting on platform more sian, with more and more people coming onto platform, ineffective or no crowd control.

Since they cannot improve on the frequency of the train, so they create more space to sardine packed more people on the platform!

DTL3 is scheduled for 2017, so there is no more capacity expansion until then.

�

So we all just have to make do with the current infrastructure and try to see if we can vary our travel patterns and maybe also our way of life�to benefit from the current infrastructure.

�

DTL2 is not a heavy load system like NS/EW and NEL, its like Circle Line that type of medium load capacity only. But I think DTL2's connectivity to existing systems is pretty good. Between Botanic Gardens and Chinatown, think every 2 or 3 stations is an interchange station.

Why would there be problem when DTL1 and DTL2 is running together leh? Since it is the same line and same train running along the DTL, only thing now the distance become longer. Just now the delay is due to train fault lor. I guess it is more of the maintenance issue as usual?

�

Looks like the�breakdown and delay in our train system now is always track fault, train fault and power failure which i think they are not able to solve these problems even until now?!

I don't think it is as simple as longer only.

For example, when DTL1 was running, DTL1 depot is in Kim Chuan Depot.� Kim Chuan Depot belongs to SMRT.� Their current depot in Gali Batu is completed together with DTL2.� Nowadays, train is launched from Gali Batu.

For the past 2 yrs, how come there is no breakdown?� But when DTL2 is launched, there is fault here & there.� Are you sure it is as simple as we think?

Again power traction fault. So now can safely narrow down to power loading issue already. Maybe my theory of heavier train for the newer batch of train that cause an increase in power load. Too much power load that the system design to handle. The increase weight in the newest batch of train is not small hor. It's quite a big jump. So hopefully next step they should do is to think of a way and or design a system to increase the power load that the track can handle currently without affecting the operation hours of the train.

So either buy lighter train or increase the power load that the track is able to handle currently. By this going, because heavier train had already bought and is in service, they can't possible to decommission it as it is very new. So redesign the wiring system to be able to handle more load will be a more feasible idea.

Train breakdown again? If the power fault happened at underground station, passengers get stuck in stuffy tunnel again?

[grin]

Looks like high chance of train breakdown really much higher than bus now, our train system really beyond hope. Like this how to encourage people to give up car?

They follow car lite by being train lite. I.e. Use less trains. Haha.
We seriously need an overhaul in lta and SMRT. Too many NATO people around. How long has it been since the woman left and we are still struggling to fix.

While more rail lines are being built, bus services are being greatly ramped up.

�

I had the impression that LKY preferred bus model rather than MRT. Too many buses also slow down the traffic on the roads significantly...

�

Tough balancing game.

Bukit Timah schools get DTL2 boost

Published on Jan 14, 2016

PANG XUE QIANG AND CHITRA KUMAR

�

THE opening of the new Downtown Line 2 has eased morning congestion outside the schools in the area.

�

Methodist Girls' School (MGS) and Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) (Barker Road) said there was a let-up in the long queues that usually form outside their schools, causing a massive gridlock on Bukit Timah Road from 6.40am to 7.30am.

�

ACS' (Barker Road) principal Peter Tan said: "The traffic situation appears to have improved after the first day of school. It is quite apparent that the traffic flow is better."

�

ACS (Barker Road) is near Stevens and Newton stations.

�

MGS vice-principal Diana Goh added: "We have noticed a slight improvement in the car congestion because it is really bad in the morning, usually.

�

"But we expect it to get better. I believe many of our girls live along the Downtown Line so it should be a direct train for them."

�

MGS at Blackmore Drive is next to the King Albert Park station.

�

A Straits Times poll of 50 students, from Hwa Chong Institution (HCI), Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS), ACS (Barker Road), MGS and National Junior College, found that 40 per cent have been taking the train to school since classes reopened on Jan 4.

�

Of these, many used to take the bus previously. Only five of the students, who now take the train, used to get their parents to drop them off at school in cars previously.

�

Schools were confident that the congestion would improve further as more students become familiar with the new transport option.

�

SCGS teacher Melissa Loh said: "I think we have to give it some time to see how it goes. But we are very happy to have a station opposite us."

�

The all-girls school is opposite Stevens station.

�

The 16.6km Downtown Line 2, comprising 12 stations, opened on Dec 27 and connects residents from Bukit Panjang to Bugis.

�

Secondary 3 student Foo Li Ann from MGS, who lives at Lorong Chuan, said her travelling time to school has been reduced by 10 to 15 minutes and that she now wakes up later for school.

�

"My dad used to fetch me to school by car. We had to wake up very early in the morning because we wanted to avoid the jam. With Downtown Line 2, I take less time to go to school and I don't need to face the congestion," she said.

�

Schools said some parents were not very keen on letting their children take the train as giving their children a lift to school was part of their morning commute.

�

HCI student Yu Shin, 18, and her siblings, who live in Boon Lay, get a ride from their father as they all study in the Bukit Timah area.

�

"The 'daddy express' is faster and more convenient than taking the Downtown Line," she said. � � � �

�

�

Lol, you are right. The faregate also handles a huge number of people, and yet never breakdown, and deduct the fare correctly.

�

actually i dont know if they deduct the fare correctly. i only know how much they deduct if i notice the screen. if not its usually tap and go without even looking.

Fares were adjusted down on 27 Dec by 1 to 4 cents.

LKY didn't believe in Singapore housing more than 5.5M people, and he said once - roughly "Singapore is not Hong Kong, and doesn't have to be Hong Kong, we are our own sovereignty, we can have some space for everyone". Back then, there were people suggesting 6M, 6.5M then later the 7M target, now 7M is not a target, just planning.

Lesser crowd towards town in the morning at EW line? Don't think so leh, crowds still depends on the frequency of the train come down from joo koon side. If the train can come about 2 mins per train, crowds will be lesser, if not crowds still the same whether got DTL2 or not.

To lighten train load and also cars on the road. It's actually very simple.

Whoever that can work from home, work from home. Even if one person does that one day per week. It's a 20% drop in commuters a day. With our high speed network, why can't that be more widely practiced?

At the end of the day, just get your work done. Where it's done shouldn't make any difference.

yes, LHL mentioned it at a National Day Rally speech some years back, the train interval improvement thingy ...

�

don't know whether it has been upgraded, but then coincide with sleeper replacement exercise so all trains had to go slow ... probably negating the benefits if the system was already upgraded.

�

keep hearing about challenges facing the operators but one thing for sure, fares kept going up until the small reduction on 27 Dec.

When can train go faster after the sleeper replacement exercise? If train has�to go slow for donkey�years due to sleeper replacement? Then no point upgrading on the signalling system. Nowadays think even cycle is faster than taking the train. Lol.

....... and their gates for deducting travel fee NEVER FAIL ONE� [scholar] � [thumbsup]

got marnie, buy smrt shares, is sure correct one

�

hmm ... wonder what is the dividend yield on this ...

�

dunno if will receive lump sum from garmen if all the assets are taken back by LTA.

�

last time Singtel also receive lump sum due to some change in ruling by IDA.

And they assured us before that train doors will never open when in motion due to some safety mechanism?!?

�

Since when anyone believe anything that "they" assure us?

Wunderbar! East to west MRT track fault.

What fault is it this time?

Maybe some bird pooped on the circuit breaker.

My wife says train fault at Commonwealth. Heng she reach her office liao.

one of the following lor ...

�

1. signalling fault

�

2. power outage

same old same old ... :mellow:

My wife says train fault at Commonwealth. Heng she reach her office liao.

Heard the announcement that�train fault at commonwealth, but not clear which direction? Then heard announcement again that due to earlier train fault, train will be travelling slower speed? Don't understand why even train fault has been cleared, train still need to travel at slower speed? Really cant believe why train fault could happened, thought train should be thoroughly checked before train resume their service in the morning?

I think :

�

If its train fault, they need to send a tow-train to push or pull that train back to depot. When towing, cannot be travelling at normal speed. Plus our train tracks are only one direction each way. Therefore all other trains in the line will have to slow down to accomodate the train that has broken down.

�

If we had multiple tracks like I see in Japan, a broken down train will never affect normal operations.

I like the headline update on ST website:

�

"Normal train service on EWL resumes, but expect longer travel times"

�

If there are longer travel times then it's not the f**king normal service is it?

�

Bunch of muppets.

Seriously think smrt is beyond hope liao. They should not allowed train fault�to happened at all, as this should consider human error. But sadly said train fault has become so common until like even it happen, it is acceptable.

i see your complain a few time everyday!

�

but millions of people are still taking train daily, nothing will change just like no matter how much you complain here. Life goes on and i have been taking train for a few years. So far i have yet to met any delay break down (touch wood).

�

Beyond hope??

Train fault can be anything. From no aircon to door dont close to train motor burnt to no throttle control.

�

Safety of passenger is involved, so better retire the train and bring it back to depot. We cant predict such happenings unless passenger dont mind having faulty train running on the track.

Cause nothing can be change, so have to complain here and there�lo, but ultimately life still goes on and still need to take train as per normal. Lol.

I thought most trains are new. Must be lemon. Maybe other dan the MIC group it's from some German engineering group. Gearbox problem. [:p]

It doesn't matter which direction as it will have a ripple effect affecting every train and everyone. That's the no good thing about it.

Gearbox problem? Train is using 7 speed DSG? Lol.

A few days back.� I heard a BMW AD advertisement on radio.� Selling their servicing package.� so the msg was like...........take up our.........it will diagnose.............& you will not be hearing this sound........

& it went.........'door closing......tee tee tee tee tee, kong (door closing sound)'.

�

I was laughing that the implied msg is if you neber service & take up their diagnostic kit to pre-empt of any budding issues, .....your fate will be end up taking MRT as car breakdown.

�

Then I thought, wah, suan PT system.....so daring.....�� 2 days later, I heard the ad again.......the ad was still the same, but they omitted the last part......lol��

�

Must have been told to remove that part of the advertisement� lol

amk pouring heavily resulting in train crawling from bishan towards amk. hopefully it wont cause a delay in later NS line. gd luck!
