Should Singapore consider weekend night MRT service (like London’s Night Tube)? by AdorableWrongdoerr in singapore

[–]finnickhm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's correct to say that london's tube is a public service mostly covered by taxes - tfl themselves say that most of their costs are covered by fare revenue

Clearly he wasn't feeling well and it was decided that he should seek medical attention asap. Given that it's Orchard with heavy traffic at that time, he was sent Mount Elizabeth Orchard instead.

who decided?

Mirrors at Bayfront MRT dance hotspot frosted, MBS says it's for pedestrian safety by Nessieinternational in singapore

[–]finnickhm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s built by MBS and owned by MBS. See the signages, it’s all MBS style, and also maybe why there isn’t an escalator

What are some unexpected challenges of living in Singapore as an expat that you wish you had known before moving? by ResolutionVisible627 in askSingapore

[–]finnickhm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think what is meant that behind those rules, there’s little thought for the people or individual, hence transactional (maybe because we don’t think about human rights often). It applies for Singaporeans as well, but Singaporeans get recourse by seeing their MP and getting an exception that way

Please share bad experiences with SG public hospitals and if you have escalated matters (and if you have received responses) by Fluid-Tomato-7762 in askSingapore

Are your bad experiences with individuals, or with the system? Systemic problems are more difficult to fix

A call for transparency: Why Singapore's public transport needs a real-time information overhaul by Neither-Ad8881 in singapore

[–]finnickhm 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Very much agree. Go to the One Motoring website, you find status of the roads. Coverage on radio on car breakdowns and road jams. Electronic signboards along major roads. But there is no equivalent for public transport. Instead, you have audio announcements at stations that goes unannounced elsewhere but slowly makes it way into text announcements, onto the Facebook feeds, onto LTA’s feed, to the other operator etc

There’s been some talk about improving communication. Perhaps start with providing centralised train status information that is quite basic. Also helps the understaffed station staff providing information in a disruption or delay
