Yishun MRT station so crowded, commuter can only board 7th train

STOMPer Mexxania was frustrated by the large crowds at Yishun MRT station today (May 9). She only managed to board the seventh train. She hopes that SMRT increases the number of trains in the morning.

STOMPer said:

"Yishun MRT station was overcrowded today at 7.35am.

"The platform was crowded with commuters waiting to board the train.

"Every train was full and it was nearly impossible to board commuters.

"This almost caused accidents near the escalator as commuters has little room at the platform.

"There were no train staff to guide or control the crowd near the escalator.

"Adding to this, I only managed to board the seventh oncoming train!

"The North-South line has a huge number of commuters, especially at Yishun and Ang Mo Kio stations.

"I would like to urge SMRT to bring back the empty trains that used to run from 7.30am so as to ease the overcrowding issue.

"The empty train in between the crowded trains would be able to load many commuters at one go.

"This would definitely solve the overcrowding problem.

"I urge SMRT to look into this seriously!

"Please improve your service and do the necessary planning because you are serving millions of commuters every day!"

Just write a complaint letter to SMRT. I always see things changed after I complained. SMRT take complaints seriously. Don't hv to stomp.

When "Garment" want to increase the population to 5 million above, they never use their brain to think. Why our carpark, expressway, mrt overcrowded and sudden often mrt/ LRT spoit. They never prepare before just let in more and more peoples. They then increase the carpark fee and throw the problem to car owner. I wander why the COE so high!! Expressway jam then they widen the road after peoples wasting so much time in the jam. MRT/ LRT spoil agian and agin, then start talking CXXK but cant solve the problem. Orchard road flooded, maybe digging here and there, no place for big drain, one day underground will soon start living of peoples.
Yishun maybe going to be worst, cos more BTO/condo will be finish 2-3 years time. More peoples will crowed in this small MRT.

I was there at that time and THERE ARE smrt crews leading the passengers to the less crowded areas around the escalator. Stop blaming on smrt. There are definitely wear and tear problems after service our people for years!
