We had a chance for a change but obviously we did not cherish that chance in the GE2011. If the oppositions have won, reduce the current 5 millions population, we will not have this problem =) Think wider.

Yes, it is world class sub-standard. Nowhere in the world, u can find public transport like us. Steady Singapore.

You know why ? Because you commuters don't know how to allow passengers in train to alight first causing a 2 way fight ending with the train being late and needing to depart.

Wondering how actually the new circle line journey time calculation formula. Do they include the average waiting time?
