    • Well feel free to post your opinions of Singapore trains here.

      This includes KTM trains.

      Thank you for sharing your views and opinions.

      To start with, I felt that SMRT trains need improvement on its service frequency, and that KTM trains needs to not only modernise but to be more punctual and to reduce the breakdowns.

    • Well, I have some comments...

      The train announcement could be made in 3 different language (Eg. English, Chinese, Malay..) something like that.

      Install the VPIS in the 1987, 1988, 1989 trains and adjust the volume of the announcement and make it louder.

      Extend the operation hour of the MRT system.

      are you talking abt the "redeem $1 standard ticket" and the "call 999" announcements in trains during travelling?

      Yes, and there's more. Like announcing the next station, doors closing etc.

    • my BIG wish

      all information announcements to cease, except station name and interchange information.

      all those information is super IRRITATING and useless. So noisy, how to hear also?

      and, cut those "No eating or drinking, no crossing over yellow line, take the lifts" etc etc. LOUD and ANNOYING! even a neighbouring flat can hear it loud and clear until one fella was admitted to Woodbridge!!!

      and, NEL isnt better.. its WORSE! never a time when the station is silence. Even at street level, at the escalator landing, already start hearing the announcements, in ALL 4 LANGUAGES some more, and NON-STOP!! NEL even have "no skating, no roller-blading"..

      Whats next? No sitting, no walking, no breathing??!!

      Will be appreciate if you all can send email to the SMRT about their announcements

      I get what you mean. But anyway, these announcement will remind passangers every minute of safety, eating or whatever. Some people may finds it irritating.

    • Bukit Panjang LRT:

      I feel that the livery colours for these railcars are plain horrible, esp since SMRT began adding a red band to its railcars and just simply added a big horrible looking sticker bearing its logo with a white background on both ends.

      Its livery may be improved if these railcars are painted all black with a red band round it, similar to the black SMRT Trains design.
