A Day in the Life of an SMRT Personnel

Service With a Smile: Mr Jefferson Phua has worked with SMRT for 26 years, retiring last year. Throughout his career, he has juggled many responsibilities which include driving a train. Photo credit: Jefferson Phua

If you think it is easy to manage a train station or handle a train, you are dreadfully wrong. We have heard about many people thinking that SMRT personnels have an easy job, sitting in the office to ‘lepak’ all day, helping people to top up their EZ-Link cards and making simple announcements. But in actual fact, they do far more than that.

First of all, we apologise to you guys for the delay in our posts as we were have been caught up with various school assignments. While we try to come out with new posts involving our partners and also follow up on our little research in RP, here’s a quick fun fact for your reading pleasure!

   

New livery for SMRT Buses!                                                                                                             

It has been almost two weeks since the first few buses spotting the new design were released by SMRT. So, have you seen it for yourself yet?

Alternative route: Service 160 provides a faster alternative for people living in the West to get to JB. Passengers may also choose to switch buses at Woodlands Checkpoint for a faster ride to JB Checkpoint. 

A Quick Glance At this Post

	Time	Fare	Advantage	Disadvantage
Service 160 to Woodlands Checkpoint	34 mins	S$1.55	Able to take either Service 160 or 170 at both checkpoints	Irregular frequency (based on traffic conditions)
Service 160 to JB Checkpoint (resume previous ride)	55 mins	S$1.55	Able to take either Service 160 or 170 at both checkpoints	Irregular frequency (based on traffic conditions)

Here’s some good news! If you stay near Jurong East, it has never been easier to get to Johor Bahru (JB). While Bugis, Woodlands and Kranji terminals may be the popular choices among those who would like to get to JB, taking Service 160 from Jurong East Bus Interchange may be a refreshing change to your journey.

Have you ever wondered what routes people living in North, South, East and West take to come to Republic Polytechnic? If so, this post is for you!

So, today we thought of an idea to make things slightly different for our blog!

Reporting On The Spot!

Instead of picking out our own destination and starting point, we carried out a quick interview on campus to find out the routes and choices that people take to get to RP.
