This is the first time I've seen a Singapore Mrt extremely packed, I've ever travelled during the peak hours and it's not as crowded as this because there is still some space to move around but when I watched this video, I'm so speechless..
Thank you for filming this - the real picture of so-called rail improvements after years of deteriorating services, in stark contrast to the alternative universe of utopian public transportation that our politicians and LTA _love_ to brag about. Our transport system is in dire need of reform, especially for those sitting at the top and chauffeured their way to work, who have *zero* understanding of how public transport works.
Lawrence Lim Even I as a regular RapidKL user feel sorry for ordinary Singaporeans who have to deal with this in a near frequent basis. I suggest the entire Singapore's public transport system need a wholesale changes. Even RapidKL's rail system is not doing badly. Only 2 major disruptions in 6 months. Wish y'all the best in the future. ☺.
Khairi Isa I haven't taken RapidKL while in Malaysia, but the KL Monorail (also operated by RapidKL to my knowledge) has been quite reliable. KTM Kommuter is another story though 😅 Back to Singapore, our transport is indeed in need of a major facelift after so many years of unresolved problems and unfulfilled promises. What I find most disappointing is the lack of contingency plans every time a disruption occurs, especially since one happens way too often than it should. I too hope that our trains will get better, and sooner rather than later! Thanks for your kind words ☺
Hi Lawrence I moved from sg to Melbourne, Australia at the beginning of last year and while I agree that the public transport in singapore seriously needs to be upgraded in account of the population, i still miss it SO much. Here in melbourne there are some really good parts about the public transport but over all singapores is still fiercely superior. Many more disruptions here than in sg but then again ive never seen Bishan AS bad as in this video. On a different note: missing home :'( eat some carrot cake for me hahah :D
I G Yeah, I do agree that we living in Singapore are indeed blessed in terms of the wide reach and accessibility of public transport, especially with the new MRT lines, which are really points of envy for other countries. However what I cannot comprehend is, as you said, the lack of forward planning to cope with increased commuter demand from a rapidly increasing population along the older North-South and East-West Lines, which is honestly deplorable imo. Comparing to other countries, we may fare better, but comparing to our once glorious MRT system, our trains have indeed deteriorated a lot. Doesn't help that the transport minister uses statistics that don't reflect on-the-ground commuter sentiments to insist that the MRT is becoming more reliable (three times more, in fact). I do hope that things will get better, at least by the time you fly back here for a visit! And chai tow kway is 😍
Not as bad when compared with overcrowding in London Underground. Making things worse, most of their trains don't have air conditioning, so it's very hot inside the train especially the Bakerloo line 1970's train
Some tokyo subway lines have already banned cellphones in the main cabins and only allow passengers to use it at the back of the train, this may be possible to happen in Singapore also
Im so relieved i live in bukit panjang and can take the downtown line, i go to clarke quay everyday for school and its super convinient! compared to my friend who stays in woodlands
If I were SMRT, I would remove every space to grab something and tell passengers to put their feet in the seats. I would also have stayed on until a station a lot of people would get off at. Is it any faster with the moving block signaling now?
70% used their vote in the last election to show that they support the government's immigration and all other policies. The 30% who voted for the opposition are cry babies, perpetual complainers and losers, as well as those foreigners who chose to become Singapore citizens knowing its one-party rule political climate but condemn the government who has opened the gates to let them in and hate Singaporeans. These are shameless ingrates whose parents, grandparents and forefathers had contributed nothing but come when the harvest is rich but bite the hands which feed them. They are also traitors to their motherlands which had fed, raised and nurtured them.
Moving out to the sea will cross Indonesia's territories. That's Singapore has practically no aquaculture and seafood is expensive because it has to import them. Even anglers get arrested by Indonesian marine police and they have to pay a hefty bribe to get released.
come to my country and you will see delays and disruption everyday with even some that are causing hours of extra travelling time;) SMRT disruptions don't occur that often compared to many other countries, but it still is awful to experience one of course
Henry Lim Oh wow are you kidding me. Like seriously !!!!!!!!. I would say RapidKL is not doing much damage. I mean really. Since January until June 2017. I've counted about 2 major disruptions in 6 months and 4/5 minor Singapore's MRT have experienced like 19/20 disruptions since January. Minor and major. I guess you're a SMRT shill to cheat the Singaporean public. Keep trying bro. P.S I'm a regular RapidKL user. 😊. Have a good day my friend.
Khairi Isa lol if i show this to people here in the Netherlands they will laugh about 2 major disruption. I think you can ask all Europeans and they will say that your system in Singapore is really good compared to what we have here. And you can see that I don't even live in Singapore, i have singaporean blood and i know singaporeans love to complain about the smallest thing;) but most of my family goes abroad very often so they really appreciate what singapore has now they have experienced the difference. We have daily delays and we have travel for 4 hrs instead of an 30mins journey almost every week at least once
What country are you from? Are you singer/model? Sydney Trains also has signaling problems, accidents, delay, etc. Same lah! If there is train accident, they will shut down the entire train line so police can do their thihgs!
Transport vlogs I am from the Netherlands but my parents are orginally from Singapore:) exactly train disruption happen everywhere in the world even the best train systems have it. And in SG they just introduced a new signalling system and they even explained why they had to test it out during operating hours, because otherwise it would take ages to implement the new signalling system. But I am sure the signalling system will work out well in the end haha
Transport vlogs oh and uhm well i dont really call myself singer/model but i do sing sometimes and i do some modeling stuff every now and then as well:)
It's long but that's not so bad. In my city the tram only come every 20min, or 30-40min in the evening. Regional trains arrive once per hour only... I live in Switzerland btw, supposedly the country with the best trains in the world. Well ,it may be true for the rest of the country, but not in my region though. Trains here are slow, unreliable, and extremely expensive
Well should we be comparing ourselves to the worst,does that give us an excuse for this inconvenience?We should aspire to become better like Japan's and Moscow's.Seriously,aim to become the best not the worse like the others.
Being the best has its limits. For one, both Tokyo and Moscow are wayyy bigger and have the space to supplement the needs of millions of people across different conurbation. Singapore on the other hand is already jam packed and rail transport can only go so far to accommodate the needs of 5 million people in an island of only 700 km square in size.
Tall Spoon That's because their infrastructure is suited for 7 digit numbers compare to Singapore. That's why we have the modernization program underway.
0:14There was a video called "Do the Bishan Q" on YT where everyone was following the queues without the staff telling them to do so but when I see this video,I almost disliked that other video.
OMG! This is really peak hours.More crowded than Sydney. Everyone is looking at the phones! Same in Sydney, just crazy.Soon they all have square eyes! They spend all their lives looking at the phones, what a life! That why they all wear glasses! LOL. You can film at trains staions , but you cant do that in Sydney atations here, have to be discrete. Dont let the station staffs see you filming here.
In Singapore filming is allowed in the railway premises as stated on the company website, although many of the people on the ground are unaware of this. Getting questioned and detained is common.
at least these guys are queued up in line and wait for the ones inside the train to come out first so it looks tidier unlike Indonesian when using KRL Commuter Line

even Japan have worser crowd than this
Off peak also a like this. Just a little less crowd
This happens on the NEL at 6pm.

How come C751B light is on 5:16
what if they banned cell phones on MRT trains? Singapore is liable to do that.They've already banned chewing gum
Arthur King what the fuck is wrong with you
XxLavaZodxX He said *IF*
Arthur King they ban selling of chewing gum
u can eat chewing gum
Some tokyo subway lines have already banned cellphones in the main cabins and only allow passengers to use it at the back of the train, this may be possible to happen in Singapore also
Following the havoc signal upgrades, things are way better than it is now.
People have more or less learnt how to cope with it.
Is there a staff member for each platform screen-door or it's just the ones closest to the escalators?
Im so relieved i live in bukit panjang and can take the downtown line, i go to clarke quay everyday for school and its super convinient! compared to my friend who stays in woodlands

Don't be angry Singaporean when someone pushes you in the train during peak hours. Japan also does this too .
The crowd was going crazy at Ang Mo Kio Stn
Because the C751B in front of C151 terminate at Ang Mo Kio
1:24 MOVE THE CENTRE PLS!!
Wow THIS IS as like the central line in london
Pretty much
I was in the peak Hours before and It wsnt even like this before but Now im Looking at this im speech less
So much people at bishan and ang mio kio
thanks for the view outside
4:44 you could have board the train after the passengers exit the train as you are infront before its full
The C751B terminates at Ang Mo Kio so he might as well skip it rather than alighting at Ang Mo Kio to wait for the train for a second time.
He was filming u idiot
Singapore vlogs be like...
How was the dtl not on the screen it was opened that time hmmm
Perhaps not updated yet
Why is there a train in four minutes? Shift is not frequent
6:19 Same like the doors closing sound C151, C151A & C751B.
Looking back at this video and um... you changed the subtitle? 😅
Changed the title yes
Prepare for the worst for 6.9 million
Spore has to move out into the sea. More landfill project.
They need to regulate the population to 5 million. The island can only go so far to fulfill the population's needs.

In Jakarta Kota-Bogor line during peak hour, you cant even feel where your feet are! Way worse if you're a short person :p
Not to mention missing your stop because you’re too squished up in the middle of the car
thats the problem with the c651. they always do that wanting to leave the station then jam brake.
At 5:48 the uncle hand is out of the train
Did that C651 from 0:30 to 2:22 come from the middle track after Bishan station or from Bishan Depot?
Probably bishan depot since when it arrived there was no passenger onboard
Hi, I want to ask, is there any possibility for bus 143 to upgrade use newer MAN A95? Thanks

Try the premium Downtown Line MRT. It's a whole lot different experience compared to this obsolete line XD
LOL... First day already got delay. No difference.
Nah, it's the same around the east area
What about the NEL at 6pm?
what happend to the 1st train it departs then go then stop at the same station

Should deploy more trains during peak hour rather than crowding on all the train in only 1 station what about the other trains

It's less crowded than in Tokyo...
Tall Spoon because their infrastructure is bigger compared to sg.
still tokyo is more organize when it come to peak hour.
true
No Singapore people dont push even when its full
You cant do anything about it its always that crowded
Looks like the pre-pandemic NYC subway
Lets miss the time when crowds and gatherings were seemed usual. Hopefully COVID-19 pandemic ends.

They’re packed like this and they’re not allowed to own cars or own vehicle? Lol
Antonius Raja ? Since when are Singaporeans not allowed to own cars? You can own it as long as you can afford it.
I know but car prices are jacked by the government you practically not allowed to have a car there
SMRT Travels From 2020 onwards, no new cars are allowed on Singapore roads
Anthony Wijaya this cannot be compared to the tokyo metro
Jay ASMR New cars are allowed. Just that the car population will not increase, unlike the previous years.

1/4 additional 15 mins
