Almost late for work this afternoon...
Ok, I was late by 2 minutes.
-Sigh-
I saw my bus left when I was walking to the bus stop, so I thought fine, I shall walk to the next stop across the road and wait for a bus to go to the MRT station, who knows when I reached the next stop there is totally no bus at all!
Again I thought to myself since the train station is not really so far by the time I get a bus I might run into the red light also, so might as well I just walk to the station.
Almost wanted to vomit blood when I was at the train station. You see, the place that I stayed, there are actually 3 tracks for the train which usually only 2 will be in use. This afternoon think they wanna start a train from that station and they ask the passengers to board the train at the third track. I was expecting it to start off soon but who knows...
IT ONLY STARTED AFTER 2 TRAINS FROM THE USUAL PLATFORM THAT I WOULD BE TRAVELLING ON LEFT!That was like almost 10 minutes wait and I was like...
TWO TRAINS! I COULD HAVE SAVED THAT TWO MINUTES!
So tempted to go out and reason out with the MRT staff by directing us into the train so early and lead to misjudgement.
When I finally reached the station that is near to my work place, I waited another 15minutes before I finally see a couple of buses coming, and at that bus stop itself I actually have at least 5 buses that I can take to my company, NOT ONE BUT FIVE! And only after 15 minutes then 2 buses arrived while I saw 3 buses of the same number plate from another bus stop left!
THIS IS THE EFFICIENCY! THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH FOR?!
IT IS SINGAPORE THAT I AM IN, NOT SOME EURO COUNTRIES WHEREBY ALMOST EVERYONE DRIVES!
SINGAPORE!
A supposed to be modern, competitive place!
I really wonder does the upper management level take those transport?
I bet they don't.
Seriously, if spending the profit they earned to fix one more TV why not spend the money to improve the system and make everyone happier?
I am very pissed off what happened, and this is not the only time. Can you imagine waiting for 10 minutes for a train to come?
And they named it "Mass Rapid Transit"; Mass, yes, big cabin, transit, yes, but RAPID?
Are you sure?
