Was wondering why some sections of the cabins were so empty before the train came to a stop. Truth unveiled when the train door opened. Instead of the usual 6 rows of seats, it left with only 4! It's as good as reducing almost 20 seats per cabin!
No doubt this is a quick & easy way to increase carry-capacity, has SMRT seen from the commuters' perspective? Will one day we ended up in a totally empty cabin? What an irony compared to the early days when MRT was first introduced in Singapore! So much talk about the kind of seats in the cabin, with/without cushion, plastic, etc...
Take a look at some of the facilities that other overseas train services provide - for instance, in the London Underground, though it's old and usually packed, it even offers 'flip seats! That's about flexibility!
