Ah, the good ol' SMRT train. The glue that holds (or sometimes doesn't hold) Singapore together, a constant presence in our daily lives that we can't help but have a love-hate relationship with.
Let's start with the pros. SMRT train is one of the most efficient and reliable public transport systems in the world. The trains are mostly on time (unless there's a delay, but we'll get to that later), and the network is extensive, connecting almost every corner of Singapore.
Plus, it's so convenient! The stations are clean, there's air conditioning (except on the super old trains, but let's not talk about those), and you can even use your phone to check the train timings.
Now, let's talk about the cons. The main issue with SMRT is the occasional delays and breakdowns. It seems like every other day, there's a train delay due to "track fault" or "power failure." And when it happens during peak hours? Well, let's just say it's not a pretty sight.
Another downside is the occasional overcrowding. Especially during rush hour, the trains can get so packed that you can barely breathe. It's like a game of Sardines, but with less laughter and more sweat.
Despite all the complaints, we can't deny that SMRT train is an essential part of our lives. It's how we get to work, school, appointments, and all the other places we need to be. It's a part of our daily routine, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
So, here's to SMRT train. May it continue to be the love-hate relationship we can't live without.
