According
to LTA, more than 2.5 million people use the MRT daily in Singapore to get to
their destinations. Over the past few years, train breakdowns have increased
significantly. Our group has come to an agreement that from the commuters’
perspective, train breakdowns are highly probable due to the increasing
population growth in Singapore which leads to a higher usage of the public
transport. Our group is keen in looking into the current travel contingency plans
that the various agencies have implemented, to improve on them so as to give
commuters a better commuting experience. The current travel contingency plans
have room for improvement. Our team conducted a survey, targeted at commuters
of different age groups, to find out if they are satisfied with the current
travel contingency plans. The survey results has shown that commuters are
displeased with the travel contingency plans in place. It has also shown that
commuters are unaware of the current travel contingency plans. The thrust of
this proposal is to suggest the implementation of new bus routes that follow
the train routes and also implementing bicycles rentals at MRT stations. These
solutions aim to aid in crowd control, provide alternative transport means, and
get commuters to their destinations in the event of a train breakdown.
