Commuters converge at Orchard station for opening of Stage 3 of Thomson-East Coast Line, free rides

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

This is news to younger generations,new citizens and tourists. Old timers and old visitors have experience this feeling way back in 1987 already. There are still videos on KZbin that capture people beautiful faces and joy that day.

It was so much grander when the first MRT line started and no BO at all.

Will be using the TEL Stage 3 more often compared to DTL Stage 3, due to the fact that TEL3 interiors are beautiful and the line now serve Gardens by the Bay conveniently.

No wonder the standards of beauty contests are falling.

Horrible experience just walking along the passage to exit in Stevens. A whole family of 3 generations of Cecas dressed in village best walked past the entire width and even with the mask on, people choked on the bad smell, thanks to SMRT poor ventilation.

Most who went would have seen the rust like smudges on the steel panels below the seats. Even the carriage smells recycled and not new. The station designs look like a modern sanatorium devoid of any touch of class nor quality. Similarly the steel structures are also similarly dirty looking. Did the budget pay for new MRT or secondhand reassembled trains? As for the route, it is plain ridiculous to have a small loop from Orchard to Stevens serving a catchment area where cars and chauffeurs are aplenty and when the bus and car routes are so much faster usually. The most frustrating was taking the shuttle from Stevens to Caldecott located in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by construction land, twice as long if a direct bus was taken from Orchard to Thomson. And without warning nor announcement on the train or stations, they just manually stop everyone from taking an onward train to their next destination station from the one stopped to have a glimpse, turn all the escalators to move upwards only and shut the line abruptly close to 9p.m even though the panel shows another oncoming train to the next station.

Yeah, a new MRT line that is designed and built for English speaking bananas only.

Don't you realise now all the road signs around Chinatown have also phonetic spelling PRC Chinese written ones below the English. Do they have it in Tamil around Little India, Jawi in Geylang?

Our new TEL MRT line at 85 decibels during commute is already very high. At exposure to noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing. So at 85 decibels, many commuters using earbuds will increase their volume to listen to those music or mobile conversation and this will even hasten their hearing loss too. Can tell our quality check is very low standard. www.cdc.gov/nceh/hearing_loss/what_noises_cause_hearing_loss.html
