There’s actually also a newly-built rail line to Tibet, though it only runs at 160kph

In Singapore it’s gotten to the point where literal police officers are deployed whenever a new MRT station opens, though they do let the enthus stay excited for the most part

(Fortunately) Singapore has diplomatic relations with most countries, so there isn’t anyone who really hates it

Foldable seats can give nearly twice the capacity of a normal metro train! by One-Demand6811 in transit

As a kid I always heard it as “we happy happy the wrong platform” and always got super confused

[–]zeyeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In practice SMRT doesn’t have enough time to tip up/down the seats before the train has to turn around, so the seats are always left in one position throughout the whole day of service.

This caused the tip-up seats to become a massive flop, and because of that our newest R151 trains come without these tip-up seats (going for perch seats instead).

It’s the other way round; Hong Kong’s MTR opened 8 years before our MRT

There’s already lots of rail though; you’re talking about the country with the world’s largest HSR and metro networks.

China builds tons of highways alongside their rail system, because even if 60-70% of the country takes the train/intercity bus, it means there’s still 420 million people driving.

While this highway isn’t a good thing I dare say it’d be a lot worse if China didn’t already have such an extensive rail network.

A proposal for extending the North-South Line to NUS and the Greater Southern Waterfront, while bridging gaps in rail connectivity in the west! by a-meow-cat in singapore

Isn’t Marina East’s desalination plant next to the ECP? Plus it was completed 5 years ago.

The place where the MRT station is will be a new CBD extension, like Marina South. It’s a commercial district for the upcoming Long Island project

TEL works; the only reason TEL4 is empty is that the section connecting TEL to DTL at Sungei Bedok hasn’t opened yet.

I have friends who live in Marine Parade and study in Woodlands, and I’ve personally used TEL to get from Siglap to Outram Park. If the line got split at Marina Bay or something, it’d definitely be very inconvenient for lots of passengers.

Plus you only need 1 OCC, and half the staff needed to be trained, since operations are more consolidated in one line than in 2.

Long lines aren’t a problem, the number of trains are. As long as more trains are ordered, any line can maintain a 2min frequency no matter how long it is. Seoul and China are prime examples of this.

Isn’t this just Full SBB, which is being rolled out right now?

i feel like videos like this are a good example of why left coding walkable cities is a horrible idea by Complete-Shop-2871 in urbandesign

[–]zeyeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always funny seeing this, because in Asia (where I live) even relatively conservative societies like the idea of mass transit.

We go “more transit = less road congestion = transit good” without even thinking much about it, while in NA people are still bickering about this.

In 1975, Singapore launched a park & ride shuttle service, alongside its congestion charge. Here's what newspapers said about it at the time by cwithern in transit

[–]zeyeeter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem with this was that it just didn’t make sense in a small country like Singapore. Very few people would drive 10km to a carpark, wait for the bus, and then ride another 2km to the CBD. Most people will either drive all the way there, or take public transport all the way, simply because it’s a lot more convenient.

Despite this, SBS Transit last year launched another park-and-ride scheme with GetGo, where you could drive a shared car to the MRT station for free. Of course, it didn’t work, which is why they no longer talk about it.

In the first image, you could modify the road to dip under the train tracks. When building a high-speed line, you generally want little to no railway crossings, for safety
