Improvements to MRT System
Been observing our nation's transportation system and here are some suggestions i have for SMRT for their train designs.
Doors that swing outwards! Yes! Screw the yellow lines painted on the platform, most of the commuters are colourblind! Colourblind as in they cannot see yellow. Everyday when i take the MRT i sure see some KuKuCheows step over the yellow line and "paste" their face on the door, eyes darting left and right looking for that empty seat, (For Fark's sake! Its rush hour! What seat are you talking about?!?!) and when the sliding door opens, they contort their body like some gymnast and squeeze into the train, causing alot of discomfort for the alighting passengers at the same time of course. Worse of all, when they manage to find a seat, that smug-haha-i-got-seat look on their faces makes me want to slap them only. To deal with these KuKuCheows, i suggest that SMRT modify the train doors so that they swing outwards, but only up to the yellow line, so that people who are actually BEHIND the yellow line dont get hurt AND the alighting passengers actually get to .... well... alight. The sliding doors are just an excuse for the KuKuCheows to get as close to the train as possible before the 10m dash to glory. Imagine their horror when the sons/daughters-of-bitches get hit in the face by the outward-swinging doors. Cue nose-bleed...
If you have noticed, good for you, if not, open your eyes people. Our daughters are all going to end up as professional pole-dancers. Ever take the train and right in front of you there is this kid doing her "provocative dance routine" at the metal pole while her parents look on with pride? Feel like buying her a drink? Feel like asking for a complementary lap-dance? Feel like stuffing $2 into her PowerPuff Girls undies? Or feel like vomiting? I suggest that the poles should have a VERY VERY rough surface so that people who need a grip actually get a grip, and kids doing their dance/merry-go-round thing get blisters! That will make them rethink their career decision.
If anyone, i mean anyone from SMRT or the Ministry of Trains reads this, please carefully consider my suggestions, btw, i charge for my ideas...
