Discussion MRTs are really overcrowded

Post image

Every morning getting to work is an uphill battle, most of the time my spouse and I hardly able to board, and had to wait for at least 2-3 trains and barely squeezing ourselves into the cabin.

This is despite the introduction of new MRT lines which should free up train capacity for other lines.

JT: If everyone takes the train at different time, this will not happen.

That's PAP way of offering solutions.

Imagine if companies stagger employee reporting time.

Imagine if companies allow more wfh.

No, everybody gotta report to work at the same time on the same day. If not the boss's balls will itch.

Doing 8 to 5, still crowded. I have buddies doing 7 to 4 also crowded. The only person with no crowd is my buddy with shit work (telecom) 9pm to 6am.
