I have taken on a job in Singapore. Consequently, my posts will shift from Manila conditions to the ones in Singapore. Inevitably, comparisons will arise since all my experiences are from the Philippines.

Videos Informing the Public While I was waiting at the Tiong Bahru MRT station, a video was shown of scenes of terrorism in train stations from all over the world. Through acted out scenarios, the public was also informed on what to do just in case there is a suspected incident and what they can do to prevent any act of terrorism.

Thank goodness I take the MRT and LRT in Manila all the time. Otherwise, I think I would have been totally bamboozled by the MRT Singapore lines.
There are three lines that traverse the city, with certain stations that connect two or even three lines. This implies that four different trains can come into one station at the same time, since the MRT stations are multi-level structures built underground.

12 October 2009 was a strange day, LRT wise. Although I left almost at the same time, the LRT 2 was fuller than usual, plus, I saw grade school children accompanied by parents, something that I don’t remember seeing before.
