  Capacity of 1 MRT train = capacity of how many buses?

  If they don't fix the problem by Sunday evening, monday will be chaos.

  Let's say 1400

  1 ADD = 130... Abt 11 ADD required.

  But I think they should let SBS recover some relevant deleted bus rts for tml morning.. Get local drivers to drive them

  Just reached my office.

  As expected, the shuttle buses were dangerously overloaded. The queues for the buses were long, and only a measly 4 or 5 people could board the bus (at Tanah Merah).

  In the end, I gave up on it and took no. 2 to Paya Lebar and changed to the Circle Line.

  And on the Circle Line, the train seemed to be stuck at several stations for a few minutes at a time.

  I have decided to stay within my neighborhood today and avoid all transport.

  The (recently-opened) official SMRT Twitter page:

   

  

   

  Open 9am to 6 am, Mon-Fri.

   

  In other words, if there's a breakdown on Sat/Sun/Public Holiday, just too bad.

   

  Damnit man, are they really that stupid?

  To their credit, they've changed it since then (when I view it from Tweetdeck) and sent out updates yesterday and this morning.

  I called off the ArtScience visit after reading the updates, and can't go running either because it's pissing down. Ahh well.

  The replacement bus system... Will send my thoughts to ppl whom I know... The EWL side pretty packed, the NSL side by SMRT has buses going holland and held up for no reasons.

  if you read about the comments of the taxi drivers talking about the maniac who almost killed another driver then went on a rampage, you will see why lots of people look at the local taxi drivers with disdain and think they are raging psychopaths

  Good Morning....shiok morning to sleep...

  Sad news.. I just found out Cesaria Evora passed away on Sat..   She was one of my fav female artist. I remember that she was not easy to handle but she had her sense of humour, tugging me and whispered softly into my ears " Where's my presents?  " I went "huh".... Went back to office and gathered all my promo items (tshirt/jackets/caps) and gave to her..  She was so happy and excited like a kid when she received them. Her manager told me that these little things (friendship gifts and love) made her a very happy woman... I remember her big big strong hugs and her warm smile...

  I just took out all her CDs and put into my bike MP3 players and was listening to it since last 2 week.... then i saw the newspaper this morning... last Sat...she left us... noooooo....
