In an incident that unfolded at an unspecified MRT station in Singapore, a man found himself in a tight spot as he seemingly missed his train and resorted to desperate measures to board it. A video capturing the incident surfaced online, showcasing the man’s attempt to force open the MRT doors, ultimately ending in failure.
The footage depicts the commuter attempting to thwart the closing train doors by inserting his foot, a move that appears both risky and unconventional. Despite his earnest efforts, the doors prevailed, and the man’s attempt to halt the train was unsuccessful, though he came remarkably close to achieving his goal.
Safety risk
The incident raises concerns about the lengths some commuters may go to catch a train and the potential risks associated with such actions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to safety protocols and waiting for the next available train when circumstances prevent boarding within the specified timeframe.
Authorities have yet to provide details about the individual involved or the specific MRT station where the incident occurred. Nevertheless, the video serves as a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of impulsive actions in the bustling environment of public transportation.
Netizens’ comments
- doesn’t the door open once it detects something like this?
- No need to go to that extreme. Meet at the next station la bro. Use a little bit more brain. No need to danger urself to that extreme.
- why this week so many mrt news one
- This is why !! When u take train dont rush… u still have another train.. haishhh
- What is happening? Where is the MRT staff? Why the train driver failed to inform control room or stop the train for the safety of the passengers, who is monitoring CCTV? LTA must take action against the passenger trying to force open the door, and investigate failure of the MRT station staff.
- How would you know is the staff isnt rushing up to the platform to assist? Were you there? So everytime this happens, you expect the staff to instantly teleport there or what?
