1a) What was the reason for building the platform doors at the MRT stations?

b) Which other countries already have such doors installed at train stations?

2) What is your opinion of commuters on trains who disregard the rules (no eating/drinking, give up seats for the elderly/ the disabled/ pregnant women etc.) on the train?

The reason for building the platform doors at the MRT stations is to prevent more commuters to purposely or otherwise accidentally from falling onto the MRT tracks . As case study says that the number of people falling on the tracks are on the rise . Other countries such as Paris and Taipei are currently seen using these doors . My opinion of commuters on train who disregard the rules are some of those people who are incosiderate and selfish as they do not think of other people but themselves . As they bring food and drink on board to eat and drink which could lead others to think that the rules are not important and should not be abided to . Others who see the sign but do not make way for those who are the elderly , disabled or pregnant women have not thought about how difficult it would be if it were them as they have not put themselves in their shoes . So basically they would not know the difficulty and create a mess which would be more of a hassle . People who are like those are should learn to think of the others more often .
