Sometimes i wished i was the Bus Captain

At least they have a compartment to themselves!

The condition of Singapore's transport system is getting from bad to worse!! Not even talking about the breakdowns. The SQUEEZE is really suffocating. Literally. It's gross and simply weird to have random strangers' bodies pressed so hard against you. Worse still when it's the end of the day and everyone is emitting some kind of odour. Sometimes there isn't even enough space for you to stretch your hand to hold the common pole/ handle bars. So you have to find your balance while avoiding falling on people when the train/ bus brakes.

Alternative transport? You must be kidding. Taxi fares are *#$*@ expensive. All that surcharge. Private cars? COE costs more than the car itself. And there's maintenance + insurance + ERP + petrol + parking fees. And of course, CONGESTION.

Actually the problem is not with the transport system per se. Increasing frequencies of the trains/buses have evidently not worked. Our shopping malls/ food centres are really crowded too. Root of problem: Over population. And they say we have low fertility rate? So where does that growth in population come from? Hmm.
