When in Rome, do as the Romans do – even if that prohibits you from a long list of things.<\/p>\n
German travel content creator Ken Abroad shared his perspectives on Singapore’s MRT system after riding on it, according to a video he shared to Facebook on Wednesday (Nov 11).<\/p>\n
Documenting his journey from Somerset station to Bugis station, he evaluated his experience of using the MRT system as a foreigner.<\/p>\n
“Singapore is quite small,” he commented as he pointed at a map of the MRT network he was using to orientate himself, exaggeratedly adding: “I think if you drive, you can drive around the whole country in like an hour.”<\/p>\n
Aside from his underestimation of Singapore’s size, he understood the map clearly enough, noticing that he had to change lines at City Hall to get to Bugis.<\/p>\n
Walking up to a sign showing prohibitions in the MRT, he noted that eating, smoking, and durians aren’t allowed.<\/p>\n
“Many things not allowed here,” he also said.<\/p>\n
Tapping his credit card on the gantry, Ken entered the platform area, commenting that “metro stations in Singapore do look very clean and well-organised”.<\/p>\n
Onboard the train, he noticed a sign in the carriage telling commuters to report any faults encountered to SMRT’s WhatsApp service.<\/p>\n
Laughing, Ken said: “In Germany, this would be unthinkable – texting the metro operator via WhatsApp.”<\/p>\n
Ken then reached City Hall, where he followed signages to get to the East-West Line.<\/p>\n
The journey from there was smooth as he made his way over to Bugis, tapping out with ease using his credit card.<\/p>\n
“Overall, the metro here is clean, well-organised and easy to use, even as a foreigner,” he opined as he ended the video.<\/p>\n
