Shorter waiting times for MRT trains
How long do you have to wait for a train to arrive? The short answer is: a little less.
More trains have been deployed this year and the number of train trips has been increased, stated a joint news release by SBS Transit and the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
Commuters can now expect shorter waiting times for trains, especially during off-peak periods, it stated.
So, who has the longest wait? Those using the Circle Line, though things are expected to improve when new trains are brought in next year and in 2016.
