Bus vs Cars

Guess which is the more efficient form of transportation?

Guess, too, why there are still so many cars on the roads when car prices are so expensive?

To SMRT: We don't need to know the things we already know

To SMRT:

Please stop repeatedly broadcast silly announcement like "There is a congestion ahead, this train will be delayed for a short while...." Usually before the announcement has finished, the train has already started moving.
If the train already stops for a while, yes, the information may be useful. However, if it is 30 sec to 1 min we are talking about, then it becomes meaningless.

Yes, we commuters will appreciate useful piece of information while being stuck in your trains but with all the meaningless automated information being broadcasted over the PA system, it will start to irritate us again.

For example useful information will include that there is a track fault or train fault or that train are travelling slower due to that certain out-of-the-ordinary situation has occurred. Useless information includes there is a congestion ahead (esp when the train doesn't stop for very long)...

Also, to make matters worse, the announcement is played several times in between two stations as soon as the trains stops. It becomes annoyingly irritating.

Competition heats up? with Breadtalk increasing price

Competition gets closer with Breadtalk increasing the price of its Ham/Bacon and Egg Meal to $3.40.

Hence, it is a mere $0.60 for the Hashbrown.

For me, perhaps the choice got a little easier for me as the price difference got closer not further to McDonald's advantage. 

Again, which would you choose?

Posted on 2 March 2012

Earlier, sometime in January, I post something on the comparison between BreadTalk and the old MacDonald's. 

However, with McDonald's All Day value breakfast the competitions draws closer, specifically with McDonald's offering of Egg muffin (ham and egg) with hash brown and coffee/tea for $4 while breaktalk offering of Ham and Egg sandwich with coffee (no hash brown) going for $3. Both the value for money factor is about the same with McDonalds offering hashbrown at $1 extra which is perfectly reasonable.

So now the question will be that which would you choose? If I am given one more choice, I would go for the McDonalds Sausage Muffin with egg at $4.50. If I can't between the 2 choices I would go for breaktalk. Mainly for the fact that it has a lower absolute cost.

Which would you choose?

Unusual Scene at Bishan Station

I was at Bishan Interchange (North-South Line) this morning at around 8:45am and witness this:

Strangely, people are queuing in single line in a very orderly manner to board the trains, something rarely (maybe never) seen in SG. This photo taken shows one of the doors but the situation is basically the same on the other doors as well.

From what I understand. it happens almost every morning, not just today.

I don't know what the station staffs have done but to them, GOOD WORK! 

Hope this can be extended to the other stations as well.

Arguably, Bishan station is one of the better managed SMRT North-South line stations

Even Google thinks so

Try it on Google, it really shows that !!!

When CNA connect ask on FB if the MRT Delay (NEL) appears to be much better managed, 

here are some funny comments.

Airbus Beluga

Airbus A300-600ST "Beluga"

If you are wondering, this is really a plane and it flies. 

Why would Airbus want to build such a weird shaped plane? The reason is for transporting large aircraft parts, like the wings (shown in the documentatary below) or other big objects from one place to another. It has the biggest space inside the aircraft but has a cargo weight limit to 47 tons compared to more than 100 tons by other heavy-duty cargo freighter. Still an interesting sight in the aviation industry.

Beluga, btw, comes from the name of the Beluga whale, 

which the Airbus looks exactly the same as.
