PLATFORM screen doors will be installed at all above-ground MRT stations by 2012 to enhance the safety of rail commuters and reduce the incidence of track intrusions.
Transport Minister Raymond Lim said on Friday that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been studying the feasibility of installing platform screen doors on above-ground MRT stations.
Speaking during his visit to Kim Chuan depot on Friday morning, he said: 'With platform screen doors being adopted in more transit systems worldwide, their cost has fallen, making them more cost-effective now.'
He said the incidence of people entering the train track area of above-ground MRT stations has risen from an average of 16 cases a year to 30 in 2006, and 31 in 2007. Besides endangering lives, such incidents disrupt train services and inconvenience many commuters, especially during peak hours, said the minister.
'We will therefore install platform screen doors at all above-ground MRT stations, so that commuters can have safer and more reliable train services.'
LTA will carry out a pilot at Yishun, Jurong East and Pasir Ris stations in 2009 to ensure that operational considerations are met, before rolling this out to all stations by 2012 http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...ry_199958.html

Good, at least people will not walk off the platform onto the tracks. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

SMRT says that they will consider the gate thing.
because they say that, there may be lack of fresh air if the gate thing is built. | |

Good, at least, the people will not rush to commit suicide.
