1a) What was the reason for building the platform doors at the MRT stations?
-It is to prevent commuters from falling onto the tracks intentionally or otherwise .
b) Which other countries already have such doors installed at train stations?
-Such doors are currently found at some stations in Taipei and Paris.
2) What is your opinion of commuters on trains who disregard the rules (no eating/drinking, give up seats for the elderly/ the disabled/ pregnant women etc.) on the train?Commuters should not eat or drink in the train , as there is a rule , we have to follow . We have to be considerate for other and not selfish , foods and drinks spilled or dropped on the floor it will bring others inconvient . During peak hours is when the train filled with people if one of communters spilled the drinks on the floor ,this will have lesser space for communters to take the train , people who finish their work are tiring and they have to wait for the next train . As for seats, I feel that the reserved seats in the train should only allow those elderly or pregants to seats so when they are alighting , they can grip the bar and stand up easily . All of us should start to have practice giving up seats to need it more than us .
