Crowded train during off-peak hours

I took a MRT train at 10 p.m. It was certainly off-peak hours. I waited a long time for the train (perhaps close to 10 minutes). The train was packed all the way from City Hall station to Yio Chu Kang station.

I hope that MRT will be more considerate to the commuters, by running more trains during the off-peak hours, so that the waiting time is shorter and that more commuters can have the chance of a seat during the off-peak hours.

They should not be purusing the "cut cost" and "make more profit" to the extent of disregard for the comfort of the commuters.

I hope that the Land Transport Authority and the Public Transport Council will make the public transport operators more considerate towards commuters.

    Yes, they should not, but then, they don't have a strong incentive to make their customers' comfort a priority either. Since SMRT is essentially a monopoly, we do not have the luxury of choice to switch to a competitor's service, hence market forces cannot come into play here and "force" SMRT to get their act together, or risk losing customers.
