Many years ago, when there is only bus services and no MRT, people never complain.
Now got MRT, so convenient for people, only 15 minutes delay - people can say it is a NATIONAL DISASTER!
Wonder whether people regress in their 修养·。

Many years ago, there were far fewer people using public transport because our population was a lot smaller. Expectations of how much you should put into a day were also lower.

Less people, less bus.
More people, more buses, more burs drivers.
Last time, only single deck bus. No aircon.
Now got double-deck bus, long bus, aircon bus.
So any different?

Many years ago, Sg was not 1st World Country.
Many years ago, we dont pay GST.
Many years ago, Ministers pay was not as high.
Many years ago, work stress was bearable.

Many years ago no COE.
Many years ago no ERP.
Many years ago no Casino.
Many many years ago 25c can eat a bowl of noodles.

Tay Steven -- You shouldn't live in year 2017. You should go back to 1910. Where everything is next to nothing.

Where were you 1910? Did you see it yourself that everything is next to nothing? And what is nothing?
And do you know the message I am sending when I mention what we have or dont have many years ago? If you dont know, you should refrain from passing uncalled for comments

If time is so precious.
If time is money, why don't call cab, call grab, call uber?
Surely, 15 minutes is so important, surely you can afford taxi services.
Now it is a plan shutdown for major revamp and rectification.
It is annouce in advance.
If people cannot tolerate even this - it go beyond the ground of reasonableness.

Few neasures here may help to mitigate and minimise MRT disruptions and safety :-
(1) Failsafe, failsoft mechanism - eg, if signaling software fail, hardware eg. IoT take over - if not human backup must be able to manual override and take over if signaling software fail.
(2) Redundant lines - to be able to shut down the whole line for maintenance, repair and fail over to redundant line eg, the up and coming redundant thomson line from Changi, Ang Mo Kio to Jurong (NUS, NTU, SP, NP, UniSim, One-North, Science Park) ---- will alleviate and provide redundant to the Green line (East-West line) and Red line (Ang Mo Kio line to Jurong East).
(3) Improve work culture and morale of staff - demoralise staff will not put in extra effort to make the system work or improve the system.
(4) Parallel bus system (that run along the MRT station) - able to beef up during MRT disruption
(5) Proactive, predictive, reactive maintenance - to upgrade and improve the parts that are 20 to 30 years old.
(6) Realtime information dispensement to inform public - that eg. "A" line is unavailable for servicing and move over to "B" line. (This is the same as London tube - where one line is taken down for servicing, a parallel line is activated to serve public. And if both lines are down, bus system that ply the MRT stations are activated). --- 3 redundant public transport system in place. If to be more kiasu, activate PMD, hire-bicycle also put in place - for those who are adventurous to rely on during disruptions.
Make this a standard modus operandi that public will take it as natural course.
---- All mechanical things, or software, or hardware, or system --- will fail some point in time - and need maintenance, servicing, repair.
----- The key is there will be a failsafe alternative, failsoft mechanism to mitigate, redundant system to seamlessly or close to seamless take over of main line if fail.
eg. car will fail on the road and need maintenance.
air con will fail and need maintenance.
computer system will fail, and need redundant system to take over.
etc etc.
Make public understand this.

Since the parallel MRT thomson line that run parallel to East-West Line and North South line are still work in progress and not available now -----
"May have to consider using Bus services to run to all MRT stations ---- for eg. service provided during peak hours --- eg. go office hours and after office hours --- to backup MRT lines).
If MRT lines disrupted --- parallel bus service can be beef up =------ until the new parallel MRT line is available."

To save cost, this parallel bus service vthat run along the MRT stations will not run during off-peak hours.

Best still come up with a transit guide, information display system etc- to illustrate the redundant systems :- eg.
(1) Line A - normal (or disrupted - go to Line B, C and D eg.)
(2) Line B - normal (or disrupted)
(3) Bus service C - normal (or disrupted)
(4) hire PMD, Hire bike D - normal (or disrupted)

I was in Barcelona for the last 8 days taking trains daily and have never encountered a breakdown. I also spoke to the people who could not recollect a breakdown. The trains look aged not like our pretty ones but are rigged and reliable. Ours sadly are not and remain in the control, in my mind, of an unqualified retired paper soldier. I arrived in Lisbon today and took the metro. Again looks like a rugged system. Both are run by Engineers and not retired soldiers.
Our policy of handing out well paid jobs to their white knights is embarrassment.

Japan orders inspection of all 4,800 bullet trains after crack found
Screengrab of report on Nippon TV showing workers inspecting a shinkansen train.

Japan’s bullet trains have a sterling safety record. Not a single passenger has been killed or injured in a shinkansen accident since its debut in 1964.
---
There is nothing in this Universe -- will not be faulty and will not fail.
