here is a commentary written in ST. what is this? using smell? I know this for years since I started taking mrt and bus it is also because of our hot and humid weather that people sweat easily and profusely. With or without the heated bodies during peak hours even at home my wife will nag at me for being sweaty and stinky! The best formulae for easing mrt congestion is to improve public transport services, add more routes and secondary services such as feeder or lrt. Better still is to encourage walking and cycling to nearby kiosk or maybe even car pool for some. Although it takes a professional to plan and schedule transport tables but it certainly does not take a politician or ceo of a transport company alot of stress or knowledge to simply assure the masses that transport is a vital component of our economy and daily lives. In this new age we live in, we rely on critical resources such as transport and communication. These 2 should go hand in hand.
