MRT

Mass Rapid Transport. Singapore MRT is just a common train in Indonesia. But the shape and the station is slightly different.

MRT is a regular train that arrives once in 6-7 minutes. Each Train contains several exits door. We sits facing each others, and stand with hand grap if the train is full.


The MRT Station


The train is divided in several journey area.

NS (North South Line) = Red Line
NE (North East Line) = Purple Line
EW (East West Line) = Green Line

The Train stopped in many station, and stops approximately about 1-2 minutes in the stations.

The interesting part that They provide each user with Ez-Link Card that can be topped up. So everytime that we want to take busses or MRT, we just tap the card to the card reader. Confuse with which side to tap, no worry, it can be tapped in any other way.

Each MRT is provided with several LCD Display that display Cinema Adds and Next Station Information. Each doors is opened and closed automatically. No need to worry about getting down the train with which foot? because it stop first then the exit door is opened. Thats also applied to the bus.

Every MRT is provided with Air Conditioner, and some of it is quite smelly, specialy the red line one :D The most crowded Line.

The MRT runs on double rail, which can be at subway, and overpass. The old Path rail is constructed over the road, and the new one is constructed at subway.

MRT is the easiest Mass Transport to deliver people all over Singapore. Let's hope that Indonesian Mass Transport will be like that. Easy and afforable.
