There are still problems plaguing the current MRT system in Spore. Now that they are opening more stations there will be even more points for potential problems. Especially with the current people in charge.
aiyah. don't complain so much lah. one lousy new station in warm springs, fremont took 16 years to fund and build. the next one at montague, milpitas is still under construction and will take 18 years to complete. the last one in berryessa, north san jose is also under construction and will take 20 years to launch service. and bart continues to face breakdowns, system failures and delay issues. now they are going to shut down tracks to fremont and warm springs stations because they need to test electrical systems at milpitas and berryessa stations. what a crock of an excuse. milpitas will begin service in 2018 and berryessa in 2020, after decades of delays and billions in funding. just 2 f*cking stations with a rate of snails doing their morning crawl. i have a thread dedicated to the bart fiasco. and fares are expensive - usd6.9 on the average. sinkies should consider themselves extremely lucky to have the mrt expanding and covering every corner of the island in short time.
92 percent of american owns/drives a car u dont need no effing bart.even if u dont drive,theres still ebikes,escooters,evans,eskateboards and every sort of diy homemade transport imaginable,every american is trying to build something.
400k passengers take bart everyday on the average, and most of them commute to sf. without bart into sf, commute by road will be nearly impossible as jams are 6.9 hours long roundtrip and parking is $69 per day.
Commuters may be inconvenienced but the point is that they have options e.g. leaving early for work, getting a ride from relatives & friends, finding jobs closer to where they live, or moving closer to work, ... etc
Even third world countries like KL have better options than Spore. Commuters didn't have to take emergency buses provided by the MRT. People took alternatives like the public buses, taxis, getting rides from friends & relatives.
These options are not available to Sporeans because everything is state controlled. Expect things to get worse when the population in Spore reaches 10+ million
don't talk cock lah. in sg, i have so many options beside mrt: walk, jog, run, cycle, bus, taxi, uber. it's just that the mrt is the most convenient, most reliable and on-time besides owning a car. if i need to go to jurong from bedok without mrt, i can still do it cheaply by waking up early and cycle there at 6 in the morning.
not really,u cant cycle or escooter on the highways,theres no way to get from one part to the other part of the island unless u live along the coastline even then its only partially.unlike usa where u can cycle anywhere u want from new york to las vegas.
in usa, there's hardly any bike trail or park connector in the heartland. you have little choice but get on the freeway or highway, and on the interstate it's forbidden to cycle. if you find local roads, they take too much time with traffic and lights, and you'll be run over by reckless speeding motorists, robbed by niggers, shot by gangbangers, mauled by animals, bitten by snakes. at least in sg, you can get on a pcn the majority of the route or pedestrian walkway to hop from pcn to pcn. and it's safe and predictable, unlike in the u.s.
california, supposedly the most bicycle-friendly state, leads the nation in cyclist deaths from getting killed by motorists.

people who commute by bikes usually live in hippie,gentrified,white,rich,middle class areas where the likelihood of being robbed or shot by niggers are low.
Can anyone memorize all the names & locations of every station in the full MRT map?
