    24 hour service on friday and saturday night at 1h intervals would help so much. not even everyday, just on weekends when people go out late

      like the guy in the video said.... there are track works to be done, if run 24hrs some area that need track works will not be able to do so. if only run area with no track work than also abit pointless bah

    Cars are forced to lead a short life due to the ten years COE. A bit strange to compare the forty year longevity of a train to a car

    • @teeteetuu94
      @teeteetuu94 2 месяца назад +6

      Not necessarily the case. There's nothing stopping car owner from simply bidding for another COE for the same car. It's just a matter of whether they deem it worthwhile when compared to the value of the car. There's CNA's Steven Chia and his 1971 Benz for an example, still going strong.

      Seems like we are forgetting one tiny little detail.
      COE is there to regulate and an attempt to reduce amount of cars that we have in SG. Sooner or later, we will run out of space to park cars in SG regardless how much MSCP that we could build. It was nvr ever about the longevity.

      Train is government own transportation. Do you think it's wise to charge your own self for providing transportation to the community?

    Not just Singapore. Malaysia does similar things as Singapore as well. Most of them were cut off by 12am as last service and first service around 6am. So, between 12am-6am which is off peak hours, they will make an inspection and replace certain parts of the rail track. Which also helps to avoid any accidents when it operates again by 6am.

      Easier to comment then doint the actual job itself. Don't see the need to compare to other countries either.
      The whole purpose of the video is to give an overview and provide insight of what happens after the non-operating hrs.

    Interesting and for the Singapore MRT Network why not copy how the Germans and the Danes do it in Europe 24/7 service on weekends only at the frequency of 10 to 15 minutes. I wonder why they don't just use a machine because here in the northeastern United States they use a loram rail grinder
