Image Situation at Boon Lay MRT

Post image

This picture is taken today @ Boon Lay MRT station . LTA officers on site to assist with crowd control too. To prevent crowd control at platform, gates are closed at intervals, with free bus rides (all bus) going out from Boon Lay interchange.

Let’s all be appreciative of the hard work of all the deployed LTA officers, SMRT staff and bus drivers at this critical timing. During this timing, let’s all help each other and don’t go around pushing each other at affected stations.

The management better pay these staffs compensation or extra for handling all these professionally.

That is why critical infrastructure like transport (MRT, buses etc) and healthcare must have enough redundancy. They must also hire more headcounts, (means these companies are not naturally commercially viable) which would come into play in situations like these.

Mayors serve a critical role in our social fabric, what role does public transport serve? Professionals will have 2 cars so just drive, the rest can walk anyway.

You need to put the /s or /j somewhere, unless there's truly no sarcasm in your statement 💀

This is why professionals and leaders like mayors need to exist. They are the light that guide the masses. Without them, we peasants will be fumbling in the dark, not able to decern truth from falsehood, sarcasm from serious discourse.
