Land Transport Authority Lower frequency for trains during off peak hours
The train operators plan to reduce the frequency of trains during off peak hours. 

Here are my views:

a) It is acceptable for the waiting time to be up to 10 minutes during off peak hours. This is the waiting time for buses as well.

b) During my travel on off peak hours, I hardly find a place to seat. I do not think that the train should be fully packed during off peak hours. During off peak hours, we should allow all passengers to be able to find a seat. 

c) There should be other ways to reduce the operating cost, instead of reducing the train frequency. Are we paying too much for the other cost of the operations, such as computer system and top management salaries?

d) The savings from reducing the train frequency may be small.

Instead of reducing the frequency, we should look at the other areas to reduce the operating cost.

Vote - do you agree that the operators should look for other ways to reduce cost, instead of reducing the frequency of the trains?
