I used to think that Singapore has an excellent public transport system which is both convenient and reliable. But that was all in the past. Now, I've totally lost trust in Singapore's public transport system because I was gravely affected by these two incidents:
Incident 1: 13 June 2007, WednesdayI was rushing to somewhere. And when I say 'rushing', I mean frantically, desperately rushing. So I took the MRT to get to the somewhere. And guess what? The stupid train was like taking FOREVER to close the bloody doors and to mooooovvvvveeeee on. It finally did and things were cool again... until it reached the next station. Again, the same problem happened. It was like the train had cramps and couldn't close the freaking doors. After like 2min, which is considered long for a MRT, the doors slammed shut. But the crapy train still wouldn't budge a shit. OMGGGG. I could almost burst out swearing vulgarities. I mean - some people actually have to get on with life. Then came the announcement apologising for the delay. Curse that !^"&%.
Incident 2: 16 June 2007, SaturdayIt was raining madly that day. I was taking bus no. 12 to after TJC and change bus. The very coincidental thing was that bus no. 12 broke down at TJC. And, I repeat, it was raining cows and elephants (not just cats and dogs). What the hell happened to the bus, I'm not sure. But I think that the engine choked on the rain water or that the bus was just hydrophobic. So the bus driver gave the passengers a complimentary-ride ticket for another bus no. 12. Trying to redeem your grave sin? DREAM ON FOREVER ARSEHOLE!!! I mean it. So in the end, I ended up walking in the rain with my umbrealla because I didn't have time to wait for the other bus to board only one bus-stop distance.
Morale of the story? Grow up and get a car.
