Last wednesday, they cancelled 5 trains in a row on the Dandenong line headed towards the city because of the weather.sierra2469alpha wrote:"The Train on Platform 7, to Frankston, has been delayed"

If you think I'm only commenting from a tourist perspective, you'd be mistaken. I've lived and worked in Singapore.hehehe21 wrote:Hi man in Singapore you don't need to worry about the seat at all,because it's always crowdedSplatted wrote:mrt etiquette aside, I find Singapore trains are WAY ahead of most public transport services in the world.
I'm currently back in Melbourne, and I'm finding not only do trains not come on time now after privatization, but are randomly cancelled with out any notice whatsoever.
You also have to walk carriage to carriage to find a seat that doesn't have a soiled patch on it.
I honestly wish Singapore bought out the melbourne public tranport system, and then we'd really see the standards improve..Yesterday another guy jumped into the rail for suicide made the whole red line stopped for 1 hour in rush hour.
For bus,I think nobody wanna keep himself waiting for 15-20 mins under the 33C hot weather,but in Singapore you have to do this everyday.You have to tolerate the hundreds of stops(every 50-100m will have one stop) too.
For tourists every city is nice because they don't have chance to experience the really life in that place
