The government decided to build a MRT system instead of more buses.

# data[].attributes.body
What happens if the MRT falls off the track & there are passengers inside it?

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of people take the MRT everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
It is way faster and convenient to use the MRT.

# data[].attributes.body
How many passengers do they have on a daily average.

# data[].attributes.body
It is fast and systematic.

It is to stop traffic jams and is the price is affordable

Timothy Choy 11 The Mass Rapid Transit was open on 7 November 1987 It allows passengers to get from place to place more eco-friendly and convenient without jamming rounds and producing much carbon which is one of the main causes of global warming. A major downside of this would be the cost. It costs at least 5 Billion Dollars to build which is much more expensive than a bigger bus system

It was opened 7 November 1987 and it was a very big news back then when everyone wanted to try it

When do they maintain the mrt

# data[].attributes.headline
It was convenient and fast because it does not use road but tracks that are underground and overgrown

I was absent so I don’t have the reading. I miss school and my friends. :(

# data[].attributes.body
How much does it cost to build it? Why are some lines above ground, some underground? Why are some stations (eg Stadium, Promenade) so deep?

# data[].attributes.body
It is very convenient and affordable. It is very clean and efficient.

A train system would cost about $5 billion to build. The MRT opened on 7 November 1987.

# data[].attributes.body
How was the MRT built? How many trains are there in Singapore?

# data[].attributes.body
It is fast, convenient and big.

The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system was open on 7 November 1987. Unlike buses it does not take up space on the roads, adding to traffic jams and air pollution. Trains also carry more people and have their own track, so they do not add to congestion on the roads. However, it would cost an estimated of $5 billion dollars to build which is more expensive compared to building a bigger bus system which is a big consideration to the young and poor nation.

# data[].attributes.body
How long did it take to plan out the path of the trains?

It is very fast and convenient.

The MRT started on 7 November 1987.It is one of the most convenient way of transport as it can handle a lot of people.Over 30 years ago,Singapore had a problem of traffic congestion.The government could not decide as building a bigger bus system would cost less but in uses up space on the road,causing traffic jams and air pollution.Even though a train system would costs $5,000,000,000,it can carry more people and it has an underground track to travel on,so it would not take up space on roads.In the end,the government decided to start the MRT as a bigger bus system would not be enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Would the MRT expand and have more stations?

# data[].attributes.body
The first MRT line was the North-South Line

I learnt that it is cheap to build an MRT station which carries more people from underground and do not add to traffic congestion.However, planners need to predict well in advance of where people work. If a neighbourhood that was supposed to grow happens to end up with lesser people and a quiet area could suddenly become full of offices and shopping centres,it will take many years to adjust the train system, causing bus routes to be changed immediately to serve current needs. That caused SG leaders to debate for more than ten years just to decide whether to build a train system.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the estimated number of workers needed to build an MRT station in 3 years?

# data[].attributes.body
Singapore has developed many different MRT stations over the past few years and is planning to build more so that it is more convenient to travel from place to place.

# data[].attributes.body
Buses would not help in the traffic congestion as it still takes up space on the roads but trains carry more people and it is underground or on bridges.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is the future of transport MRT and not Hybrid and Electric Cars?

# data[].attributes.body
Singapore is developing the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line and the person who had the idea of MRT is Mr Ong Teng Cheong.

Mega-cities can survive - but only with a good transport system.

Singapore has changed the MRT lines in the past few years.

What where the problems faced when Singapore's MRT system was made?

# data[].attributes.body
MRT systems probably are the future for transportation.

# data[].attributes.body
The government originally wanted to build ore buses because they were cheaper to construct but they chose to build the MRT because they realised that more buses would just make traffic congestion even worse.
