This will be continue to be 'unavoidable' as long as the following holds true:
1. SG continues to be as insanely overcrowded as it is now with the FAP spreading the their legs wide to foreign influx.
2. Public transport companies are allowed to cut corners with 0 accountability even as they reap in awesome profit to the hundreds of millions through fake competition and subsidized by taxpayers' money to the billions.
3. FAP is allowed to remain in absolute corrupt power.
4. 60% SGs are daft enough to allow 1, 2 and 3 to continue.

SINGAPORE: Train operator SMRT said there was a 30-minute train service delay between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah MRT stations Friday evening.
This was due to a fault on a westbound train between Tampines and Simei station.
SMRT said the train travelling behind the stalled train was used to assist it.
Passengers on board the stalled train alighted at Simei station at 7.36pm, while passengers on the assisting train alighted at 7.43pm.
The train operator added that announcements were made at all affected stations.
SMRT said that eastbound passengers between City Hall and Pasir Ris MRT stations would have experienced a general service delay for a 20 to 40-minute period, as the high train frequencies operated during the rush hour can lead to a congestion when there is a train fault.
