More trains for a comfortable ride

I took the MRT train at 9.40 am this morning. This is the off-peak period.

The train arrive at intervals of 7 minutes. It was packed all the way from Yio Chu Kang station to Raffles City station. I had to stand all the way.

During the peak period, the train run at intervals of 3 minutes. I can understand that it is difficult to put more trains due to safety issues.

During the off-peak period, it should be possible to run more tains (say 1 train every 5 minutes), so that the train is not so crowded and more commuters have the chance of a comfortable ride.

I hope that SMRT will take this factor into consideration, and run more trains during the off-peak hours.
