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.

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.

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.

If you board the LRT 2 at the Araneta Center Cubao station, then you’ll probably know what I’m talking about — the long lines that form in front of the security staff during the peak hours. It’s because the security staff members search the bags meticulously. Too meticulously, I think.
