There is hardly any vacant seat in the train nowadays. It seems that it is peak hours all the time. Perhaps it is due to the increase population taking public transport. ‘
Yesterday evening I felt like kind of being sardine jam pack and squeeze in the MRT cabin so much so as if my eyes going to pop off. It is really crazy that people continues to squeeze into the cabin even though it is already overcrowded with passengers.
A chinese guy right behind me was coughing and sneezing all the time. The old Malay grandma on my left me was visibly shaken and unable to stand properly as the train moves. The Indian old man on my ride was digging his nose. Further on my right into the cabin, some girls were giggling away playing with their Iphone gadgets.
So much so for public transport, so much so for world class public transport system.
