Blimey they are.low.....
They have added a piece that sticks out sideways and the metal bar for this cannot be above 1.6m. What a very odd design change.
Just cracked my head... was completely unaware of this new addition... Lucky I was ducking to sit or it would have hit me on the nose.
something hanging in the eye line would have been useful.

Even before they installed the hanging hand grips (not sure how to call it) I already feel that I have to prepared a helmet, now even worst, the bar right in front of my eyes.
guess, no more high heels for me if i want to take the train.

I never understood why Singapore acts as if there were no tall people in the country. I've seen seats on buses where an
average Singaporean had to sit sideways simply because of not enough leg room.

Try to go shopping for a top/dress/skirt with my height, in Singapore it's a pain, oh also shoes... I don't have enough budget to go for high-end brand (some brands from the West apparently "shrink" when they arrived in Singapore).
And now with the "hazards" on the public transport...gosh ... I better prepare my chinese herbs potion for anti bruises

Or, you know, keep your eyes up and duck.
Surely, you have better spatial awareness than the local wildlife.

Yeah, so far the hazard as on Barnsley's post not yet hit my forehead, keep alert once I step in the train or bus.
I just worry someday in one fine day someone with "special item" on their hand will shove me and voila - a lump on my forehead.

The bus thing is a pain in the knees!!!
I am not the tallest but not many seats are in my comfort zone , thats why I mainly stand unless the bus is empty

Best MRT line
Replies: 5
First post
In your opinion, which MRT line do you think is the best in terms of connectivity?
Last post
Purple line(north east) is the best line. Because to me its like the center of everything. Also very convenient and fast.
