City Hall - Orchard stations on the Singapore MRT

[@bedfall]

haha the passengers in the train all still looking straight and not looking down because no iphone yet

[@arcxenos]

How nice , being able to have a sit and all ... And you can't be "stomp"-ed because stomp doesn't exist yet .

[@eriquerique]

If what you desire from rapid progress is just cosmetic updates of the station, then I would have to disagree with you. Train stations are built to last for centuries. Just look at the subway stations in London, Sydney, Paris and other global cities, they still look like the way they did 100 years ago. Subways aren't shopping malls. As long as they perfectly serve their function there's no need to waste resources on updating them. In fact you should be proud of these built-to-last MRT stations.

[@shukurroslan3742]

During those days,the MRT was not too much crowded,unlike nowadays,it is really packed to the max,like sardines.Notice that the stations at that time was much roomy,and much more convenient to walk.

[@addherre6218]

I was 17 back then... as I was living in Woodlands, we had no access to the MRT and relied heavily on Trans Island buses lol ... thanks for the upload. Cool vid.

Nice job recording these videos really like this master piece, beings back old memories of the MRT system with Unrefurbished C151.

[@MrCelroy]

Its weird as the advertising boards in the tunnel are now no longer in use. I seem to recall they were last used between 2007-2008

[@ariffrosli8740]

MrCelroy I wish could have the advertising boards in the tunnels back!

[@smrtc151aproductions9]

Unlike in China.

[@delberttube8110]

In the jakarta mrt, advertisements are everywhere from the station to the interior of the train and the exterior of the train

[@C151Shaun]

They were still using it up to the early 2010s although there weren't many of them in use Today those boards are gone.

[@codelyokofanful]

Feels wierd not hearing the annoucements playing when a train leaves the station and alsp hearing manual annoucements without the please mind the platform gap

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

too many announcements nowadays... passengers mentally switch off and then they miss information which they actually need to to know!

THE OLD CHIME

[@keepdurron]

Notice the crowds. "What crowds", you say? Right! There wasn't any! Hardly any FTs!

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

Alex Ang As with London, even big cities seemed less crowded in those days!

[@keepdurron]

citytransportinfo Guess more people are flocking to the big cities these days. And the global population has increased

[@fordgt402]

Mass immigration profits those people without borders and dual citizens.

Ever since the mrt look like that before I was born

most of it they had change from ticketing booths to the sign board where more words were added to add more info for the tourists whom uses the mrt for the 1st time

@citytransportinfo ya i think he's talking about that one, i noticed it too

[@MarkCYX]

@citytransportinfo yea they now do flash iirc.

[@augpeh]

No announcement. Recorded announcement only started in 1994.

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

@Equarius260eoy someone I know has just been to Singapore and he told me that (he was told) this rule was introduced after a bomb attack was thwarted - the bomb was made safe. Of course people with ill-intent cannot be stopped from filming... they will just use covert methods, such as shirt button cameras. Technology is almost at a stage whereby prosthetic / false eyes can also include cameras. So, as ever its only the ordinary people who suffer.

[@SMBSjpg]

+Timothythamen the trains only had annoucements in 1997. The train officers had to annouce back then...

[@TransportationONLY]

Toh Ken Ian nope it was 1994

[@haziqs.9727]

Transportation ONLY! Actually he is right. Only doors are closing announcements were introduced in 1994, while the rest of the announcements were introduced 3 years later

[@skwbryan420]

2:54-3:03 is it just me or the mrt train doors close at a faster duration in the past compared to now?

[@theorangutan2339]

i mean yes they used to close incredibly fast for some reason lol

[@TRANSLASLionsCityMovia]

All the kids in this video should be in their 30s - 40s by now

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

@ddarrens92 I do not remember the exact times, as it is now 20 years since I was in Singapore. I avoided the rush hours. Possibly I filmed at underground stations during the hours of darkness, as it did not make much difference when underground! I might have filmed this when on my way back to the hotel after visiting Sentosa. Which means after 10pm. It was my aim to film trains and not (too many) people, as then the trains are not seen! Simon

[@TIB1245L]

A lot has changed now the trains feat in this video (Kawasaki C151) have since been refurbished by Hyundai Rotem

[@mikan004]

Now the trains in the similar white livery are the siemens C651, Sinvapore's mrt has really evolved, do you plan to film any of the C151 in the present?

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

I would film them if I was in Singapore, but right now I am in London.

Is the trains C651s or Unrefurbished KHI/GTO C151s

Sorry but I do not know - this was filmed in 1991, I suspect that Singapore only had one type of MRT train at the time, with them all being in original / unrefurbished condition.

Yes I know. But mobile phones were shortly invented, around 1995-1996 if I remembered correctly. The dumb phones, that is. Can't access internet. I had a Nokia that cost $1600.

Number of lines is not important. The fact that Singapore MRT covers the whole island is a sufficient proof of its efficiency. There's virtually nowhere in Singapore unreachable by MRT, especially when the new lines start to open next year. And oh, speaking of cosmetic updates, do you have any idea how filthy the subway in New York and London tube compared to sterile, air-conditioned MRT?

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

@nickelbatx Yes but the whole thing is orchestrated; people in power are afraid of ordinary people, especially those with cameras, as it empowers those who speak up for human rights and freedoms. Using the excuse of terrorism the USA has just passed a law which allows people (anyone) to be detained without trial indefinately. (NDAA, Dec 2011). The power mongers are desperate to introduce martial law - see the last 40 mins of the Project Camelot interview with Bob Wood to know why.
