Each MRT line is dedicated to be used by trains on that line. The trains do not cross from one line to another.
During peak periods, the train arrives at each station every 90 seconds. The distance between one train and another is about 1.5 km. This is a very long distance, compared to buses and cars on the road.
It is easy to drive a train. After arriving at a station for 30 seconds, close the door and drive at 60 km to the next station. The driver can make sure that the train is aligned at the station, so that all the doors can open for passengers to alight and board the train.
it is easier than drive a bus.
Why is there a need to install an expensive and complicated signal system that cost nearly $100 million for each line? After spending this sum of money, we now get trains being delayed often due to "signal problems".
i do not understand why the LTA should spend such large sums of money and still get so much problems.
Can someone help to explain the rationale of their planning?
