Transport minister Khaw Boon Wan said that the Bukit Panjang LRT was badly designed with many ups and downs and sharp turns.
But it has been operating for 18 years since 1999. We did not hear of commuters complaining about the dizzy ride. The minister did.
Was the LRt ride uncomfortable, or was the minister just exaggerating?
If there is a need to remove the ups and downs and sharp corners for some stretch of the LRT, it should be possible to build the replacement section and when it is ready, divert the LRT to use the new section instead of the old section.
This would require the system to be closed for a week or two, rather than a few years.
I wonder if such an option was being considered?
