I wanna complain about the LOUSY system that the MRT station at Boon Lay has. And I know I have been complaining EVERY SINGLE time I am here to my Dearest. But well, it’s really so lousy and I hope they will do something soon for the long run.

You know ever since the opening of the new Boon Lay interchange, I dun think it’s making my journey a pleasant one. It’s supposed to be bring convenience to us. But I don’t feel so. The route of 242 changed and now, we have to take a longer route in order for us to go to Boon Lay. The walking space in the interchange is too narrow, and people are walking really slow in front of you when some of us are actually rushing for time. The waiting time for the train is really long. For peak hour, we have to wait for up to 4 minutes and usually when the trainer gets to J.E, the poor commuters will be unable to board the train. And the structure of the MRT station is really poor. Let me show you WHY.

This is what I have drawn based on my memories of the MRT station. Red indicating commuters who exiting Boon Lay. Blue indicating commuters entering the MRT station.

So you know in the morning not much people alighting from Boon Lay MRT Station, so it’s still not as bad. But for evening time, the human traffic is really bad! Looking at the EXIT ONLY, it’s normally JAM very badly because everyone is trying to cut each other’s queue to GET OUT. It’s so irritating can? Everyone is heading towards the EXIT ONLY because who in the world will walk one BIG ROUND to JP/Boon Lay interchange when there is a shorter way?

This is how I feel it should be since the new Boon Lay interchange is on the other side. They have been building new MRT lines and they are not doing anything for this, or are they trying to say that they only have money to build MORE MRT STATIONS/LINES and no money for MORE gantry in order to facilites the commuters who spend so much money on travelling everyday?? And every single time I took the train to Boon Lay, it only makes me blood boils. Aunties always cutting my QUEUE. SO HORRIBLE!!
