Transportation Woes In Singapore...


There were reports about the crowds at Jurong East last year[Link][Link]. But little has been done. In fact things have been getting worse not just at Jurong East Station but, I believe, throughout the public transport system. Many netizens are just fedup with the situation. The denial from the govt is causing frustration. Many have taken to filming or taking pictures of the situation as evidence of their unpleasant experience.

The situation is getting from bad to worst. We are now seeing the trains packed during off-peak period and during peak hours there're hardly any space to accomodate more commuters. On most days I would give a miss to at least 2 trains before I managed to board a reasonably populated train.

Would LTA consider letting SMRT and SBS run parallel bus services? I don't think so.
