No govt is perfect, even Singapore's MRT gets stuck in the air

Transport Minister Anthony Loke acknowledged that the Madani government is not perfect, but stressed that no government worldwide is flawless. He cited Singapore, known for efficiency, as an example, mentioning its MRT system also faces breakdowns. Loke urged the government to confront challenges head-on while remaining committed to the party’s principles. He also highlighted Malaysia’s new role…

In case anyone is interested in my Tumblr’s header image, it’s an image I took using Hipstamatic a few years back of the MRT metro tracks/viaduct beyond Tuas Link MRT station here in the western part of Singapore. The two outer tracks lead to a depot off to the right of the image, while the inner two end in a dead-end, perhaps a provision for a future extension of the line should they decide to extend it further.  You can view the full image on my deviantART linked above!

Singapore MRT Ghost

Marina Bay Singapore This photo was taken in 1999 by passengers on the Marina Bay MRT in Singapore. Some stations on this line are believed to be haunted because they were built on the remains of an old cemetery. Many people report having ghostly encounters while riding on this train.

First Day

After the airport, we will go to my father's house. We took the MRT, but you can also take the bus. Our flight to the house takes more than 2 hours. We had four stops to change trains. There are different MRT lines in Singapore, but our line is the red line, better known as the NS (North-South Line). There is a map for each station that you can see, and it says how many hours or minutes it will take you to get to your destination.

 

When we got off at Sembawang Station, we found many stalls, food courts, and convenience stores. and after we cross, there's a mall, so you won't get bored and hungry there. When we left the mall, we saw the bus stop, but that was only an option because you can also walk to your house if you are close. In our case, we were at the end, so we took the bus. When we got off the bus, there was a food court, better known as Hawkers, and there was also a convenience store.

 

I just noticed that here in the Philippines, the driver is on the left side, while in Singapore, it is on the right side. Also, the people there are really disciplined because when they actually cross, it is only on the pedestrian line, and they wait for the green light before crossing.

 

That's it for my first day in Singapore.

Being late isn’t cool…

[ianfulgar]

Singapore's success in mass transportation lies in its integrated approach to urban planning. By aligning public transport with land use and development, they ensured accessibility and convenience for all. The Philippines can learn from this by prioritizing integrated transport planning to connect residential, commercial, and industrial zones seamlessly. Key Takeaway: Integrate transport and urban planning to boost accessibility and convenience.
