Improve the public transport now (not later)

There is a letter published in the Straits Times. The writer argued that we should improve the public transport now, rather than later.

I agree. I suggest the following approach:

* get more trains to run on the MRT lines
* provide feeder services to bring people to the MRT stations and bus terminus
* run express bus services (with few stops) between the major towns
* build a second level to the Central Expressway and the Pan Island Expressway
* allow more operators to run the feeder services, using light buses (like Hong Kong)

My basic approach is:

* do the easy things (like what has been suggested)
* do it now

The government decided to improve the road network by building the Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway. But it is taking too long, more than 10 years. It is still not ready.

I guess that it will take 3 to 5 years to build a second level to an existing expressway.
