SINGAPORE: SMRT said train frequency will be reduced by 30 per cent once Singapore's pandemic alert level hits red. This is because its service staff are divided into two teams to prevent the potential spread of the H1N1 virus.
SMRT has increased its cleanliness vigilance level in trains and buses by more than three times ever since the Health Ministry raised the flu alert to orange.
Public areas are cleaned once every two hours and temperatures of SMRT officers are checked twice daily. There is also a quarantine room for passengers who display flu symptoms.
Ventilation within the trains has been increased, while windows and doors of buses parked at interchanges will remain open.
=> In other words, the peasants are not hallucinating when they comprain the wicked Papayas purposely turn downt the aircon in trains and buses to oven cook them and cut costs! Fcuk the PAPee!
Temperature of bus captains are also being checked at bus interchanges.
