SMRT To Install Glass Doors By 2012
So what will Singaporeans complain about now?
For starters, how about more fare hikes? Sure, the doors will be installed. Don't tell me they won't put aircons into all the overhead stations? Singaporeans will definitely complain that it will be hot, especially on very sunny days where the sun will shine very brightly into the enclosed, glass-sealed overhead stations.
Where do you think the money for installing the doors, putting in glass walls, and installing air conditioning in the overhead station is going to come from?
Secondly, Singaporeans will no longer have an excuse to be late for work. They can't use the "someone jumped onto the tracks again boss, so I'll be 3 hours late" and waltz in after lunch.
Third, mommies with little boys can no longer tell the little boy to pee on the tracks when the little kid has to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW.
Fourth, where will suicidal Singaporeans go now?

xinyun @ Sunday, January 27, 2008 12:18:00 AM *insert complains on cost of living going up, transport fees going up, money not enough, too many noob drivers*
and now, they'd complain and say there's no need for the glass doors.
i feel happy they are finally installing glass doors, at least we wouldn't have lesser morons trying to inconvenient others by killing themselves, during peak hours on weekdays. -

Glass doors = increase fare
Anyway, I added your site to my blogroll -

Dermapthera - heh that's what we have been saying... go jump off a building instead of onto MRT tracks and making everyone late for work. But, they don't get the same publicity and recognition if they did. They'll just be a red spot on the ground there under the building.
xy / hani - well the costs of installing will definitely be passed on to us. But, they will never "reduce" the fare once the "costs" have been recovered. They will quote rising operating costs etc again to keep the fares. As usual.
