In the video, the placed is very crowded, and the commuters are packed like sardins. Additionally, during the warm period of time, the commuters will sweat easily and create a densed area of body odour. The stickness of the other commuters skin that touch me, is very disgusting. Trying to get out of the place, i have to pass through a series of getting stepped on and being shoved around, and in the warm place, i will get easily agitated.
b) I love to travel by downtown line(mrt). Though it will be crowded during the peak hours, it only takes a few minute for me to travel from one place to the other, and the waiting time is greatly reduced too.]]> 2023-07-10 01:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641312387 Danish https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641312539 I would feel Uncomfortable as I have claustrophobia. Although I get that people are rushing off to these venues. I feel that they need to be considerate to those around them as there are some who have poor mobility or require assistance or support to walk to places. They need to at least give way to these people as from what I seen from the video. ]]> 2023-07-10 01:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641312539 rhys https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641313402 (a) i would feel frustrated and inconvenient as i would have either just ended school or work and would like to go home in peace instead of having to cram with other commuters and possibly not have any personal space

Commuting during rush hour can be quite challenging and overwhelming for many people. Here are some typical aspects that i experience .The trains during rush hour tend to be packed with people, and it can be difficult to find a seat or even stand comfortably. The confined spaces can be stressful and make it harder to move around.The platforms and ticketing areas can get crowded, leading to long queues and wait times before boarding the trains.Due to the high number of commuters, it's common to be in close proximity to other passengers, which may result in limited personal space and occasional physical contact.Singapore's climate can be hot and humid, and the combination of crowded trains and warm weather can make the journey uncomfortable for some people. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the Singapore MRT system is generally well-maintained, efficient, and considered one of the more reliable public transportation networks globally. The government and relevant authorities make continuous efforts to improve the commuting experience for residents and visitors alike.
Ultimately, how one feels during rush hour on the Singapore MRT can vary from person to person. Some may find it stressful and tiring, while others may adapt to the routine or use the time for reading, listening to music, or catching up on work.

I prefer to drive around in my father’s porsche 992 Gt3rs]]> 2023-07-10 01:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641316457 nicole (14) https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641318150 2023-07-10 01:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641318150 https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641318903 I feel violated as it is peak hour and many people are flocked around the mrt and during the peak hour personal space no longer exist anymore so I feel super violated cause it's like sardines in a can .

(b) My favourite way to commute around Singapore is my father’s car. My father’s car is comfortable and it doesn’t restrict me from reclining my chair to rest unlike other cars.

(c) I disagree with the people who says cars are not allowed in city centres. If there were no cars, people will have to take buses to travel to city centres which has quite a distance from home. The buses will be packed and stuffy and filled with sweaty people which is not it.

The whole place is packed, which would make it more difficult for me to walk around freely. Also, when it’s packed, it would be difficult for me to get to places quicker and i would feel irritated if i’m not able to walk around freely. 

b) My favourite way to travel around singapore is by taking the bus. Although sometimes the bus can be crowded, it can be a nice way to travel to different places. By taking the bus, I would also be able to look at the scenery outside while travelling. Taking the bus can also mean that it can be a cheaper alternative as compared to taking a cab. Hence, my favourite way to travel is by taking the bus. 

c) I agree that cars should not be allowed in city centres. when there are too many cars, unnecessary gases can be let out into the environment which would be harmful for people. The roads would also be clustered if there are too many cars. But, sometimes cars should be allowed into the city. As after a long day of shopping in the city, some people would prefer taking a car instead of taking the mrt or bus. ]]> 2023-07-10 01:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641324486 Elroy https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641324628 a) I would feel frustrated and impatient and it will extra annoyed if I'm in a rush]]> 2023-07-10 01:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641324628 Kennice loh_hui_li_kennice https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641330918 a) I would feel frustrated if I was one of the commuter in the video. Why you may ask? Because let’s say I’m in a rush to go to work and I see plenty of people at the station and on the escalator, I would definitely feel frustrated as I know that the crowd would not clear up in time and I would be late for work. Hence, if I was one of the commuters I would definitely feel frustrated because of the crowd.
b) My favourite way of travelling around Singapore would be by using the mrt. The MRT allows us to travel to anywhere in Singapore, taking the mrt lessen traffic congestion on the roads and allows people to travel faster. Not only that, by taking the MRT is more convenient as mrt stations are using near our houses, going less than 5 km you would be able to reach a mrt station. Personally, I also feel that taking the mrt also reduces greenhouse emissions as lesser harmful gases decrease the temperature rate in Singapore. Hence, my favourite way of travelling in Singapore would be by the MRT. 
d) Some people might say that cars should not be allowed in city centres because they are bad for the environment. I personally feel that this phrase has both its cons and pros. One reason, why would be because cars increases greenhouse gases causing the environment to be hotter as the temperature increases causing climate change in the world. Another reason could be the increased in congestion, by having more cars would increase congestion as there are more cars moving in the roads and more people traveling via cars. Hence, increasing the rate of congestion in city centres. However there are pros to it as well, by allowing cars in city centres allows convenient travelling from places to places via cars. Travelling by cars would also decrease the chances of being late for work, school or certain events. Hence, these are pro of cars being allowed in the city centre.]]> 2023-07-10 01:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/silshss/l2utuz7vfbc1mr5o/wish/2641330918
