The future of the 40%

[drifter]

My experience with Singapore MRT (both SMRT and SBS Transit lines) are 5 minutes peak, 7 minutes non-peak. Most US and Canadian lines run at 3 minutes peak and 5 minutes non-peak. Tokyo and HK lines are fastest, 2 minutes peak, 4 minutes off-peak.

singapore is 5 mins for peak ? thats too long !!!!! . MRT dont want to buy more trains ? save money for their CEO pockets ? . HK also have double-track commuter ? i dont know about HK train system .

in japan during peak hours the train will arrived at 2 mins interval ....how long is the waiting time for singapore train during peak hours ? in japan we have double-track commuter it is 10-car trains at two-minute intervals ...

I don't know but let's not compare it to japan. Seriously i don't think the train system here has any means to match up to japan's without screwing something up.

im not comparing ...im just showing how train system in japan works ...and singapore MRT can use japan train system as a guide . of course there will be a few hicups in all train system around the world ..the most important is to solve problem rather then act blur .

yes but then again what's the pt. Sg won't implement it if it doesn't benefit the big wigs nor do they actually have the capabilitie to make it work like in japan.

I'm not proficient as a track technician, so I'm not sure about the track system. But I experience as a passenger, yes, very fast.. If you miss a train, before you can take out your handphone to reply to SMS, another train's coming. Can ask GMS, Glenda etc. who have lived in HK for extended periods. The overrall public transport system is also very good with the taxis and mini-buses, available practically everywhere and you can alight from a mini-bus anywhere, no need bus-stop! And the best part is, the overall fare is roughly on par with Singapore level, nowhere near Tokyo level. There's only one MTR stop more expensive. That's from Luohu (HK) to Shenzhen (PRC) customs and immigation. Just for one stop but the extra fare to top up is like for ten usual stops.

bro , so i guess we have to ask sam leong to shut down this forum liao ...because all our talk on goverment issue all pointless .

It's the same, you're paid what you're worth for works and profits generated. Do you think companies contribute to your CPF, give you transport and meal allowance for free? It's still your money that you should be worth. You're a businessman, you should know. If an employee is worth $3,000 p.m. and regulatory costs and fringe benefits cost $500, mark the basic salary down to $2,500. For extra works done above that, then pay allowances, OT claims or allowances. Being paid so much means obligation to work so much or even more. I'm sure you know what's karoshi - work till death.
