MRT service had became a part of our daily lives, with daily routines dependence & reliance upon such efficient services for decades. However, should our MRT needs to shutdown for more than a day, then there must be a comprehensive alternative plan to ensure daily lives continue as smoothly as possible.
1. Bus services had been the alternative to MRT lines. Such would have to INCREASE their frequency to meet with demand, thru alternative routing for short haul routes, than to continue with long haul bus paths, & also not jam up roads.
2. Private car owners may consider giving a lift, especially to co-workers during this period, to maximize road use & productivity for the company that they work in, during such period.
Those whom are using private cars for non-essential purposes such as a visit to the hairdresser, shopping, cafes, etc, should refrain from using such transportation means during peak periods -6am to 10am & 5pm to 7pm daily, so as not to congest the roads.
3. During such periods, taxis & private hire car operators should ONLY accept service for students, especially during their critical exam periods. To get their co-operation, perhaps a tax decrease of 2% can be used as an incentive for their kindness & cooperation.
Parents of those kids would be given grocery vouchers to offset costs of private hire transportation means so that kids would not miss exams
4. For workers whom cannot work from home, & may be late for work due to traffic congestions during such periods, may employers be more understanding & not deduct their pay or use such to deduct their performance ratings.
Instead, as PRODUCTIVITY is critical to biz enterprises, those workers whom took the effort to wake up early, to catch the early transports & report to work on time, they will be rewarded an extra $20/day. For employers whom are understanding & adopt such practices, such costs will be considered as tax deductibles.
5. Should the MRT repair works go on into even weekends, where most families & citizens would go out on visits & tourist attractions, then MPs perhaps organize private bus services to favorite hotspots such as orchard road & to other town centers using the expressways to avoid congestions on roads.
6. During such periods, tempers will fray, thus more traffic controllers & marshals would have to be stationed at busy road junctions such as town areas, to keep everyone calm & direct traffic fairly, to prevent selfish others from hogging streets & car park lots.
