    1.William Murdoch 2.blank 3. It is so bad as if it breaks down it will take time to re-operate 4.it is called so as it stands for mass rapid transit 5.Electricity 6.the train is less flexible but fast and the bus is slow but more flexible 7.To make transportation more easier and reduce the usage of cars 8.blank 9.the maximum is 931 people 10.It depends on what LRT u are using 11.Yes 12.the first line is the north south line 13.blank 14.MRT tracks in Singapore are electrified (but not the tracks itself!), just that how they are electrified depends on the company running the trains. tracks are electrified by means of a special rail conducting electricity, known as "third rail". They are seen as white metals beside the train tracks. And so, SMRT trains are electrified by the metal contacts attached to the bogie known as "shoes", which in turn would have some metal floss brushing against the third rail as the train moves, electrifying the train for virtually everything from lighting to the train's controls. 15.the transportation to other far places will be more convenient.

    2:It is made by building stations at various places like the Jurong East station.Then we create the railway s together and form the tracks.After that,we build the MRT and thenwe build the mechanism and hire people to hel[p with the service at the counter.
    3.It is so bad is if one breaks down it will cause a domino effect and may delay other trains.
    4.MRT stands for Mass Rapid Transit and it is named as it can carry massive amounts of people,is fast and also a transit(my opinion).
    5.The power comes from the white boxy rail that follows the track. You can see it very clearly from the stations, its directly opposite. The rail is called the "Third Rail" and is another system of power supply.
    The NEL is powered by the overhead cables
    6.Generally,yes as buses are more prone to accidents due to reckless drivers on the road but MRT can only be bombed or a misconnection of cables.
    7.To avoid traffic jams on lines,crashing and to get to more places faster so that the limit will not be too compressed and so that people can depend on MRT more (take public transport).
    8.Yes.I saw one poster put up in Sembawang Community Centre that the line will be extended to Johor Bahru and so maybe they will also think of extending it to Indonesia.
    9.Blank
    10 .MRT stands for Mass Rapid Transit while LRT means Light Rail Transit.LRT runs are more localised in the housing districts. The trains are much shorter in length and do not travel as fast.Therefore,I think MRT is better.
    11.Yes.
    12.The North-South line which is from Yio Chu Kang to Toh Payoh.
    13.blank
    14.Same as Q2
    15.It makes us somewhat more lazy but also,it makes our lives easier and more convenient

    3. MRT is a transport that most people travels on, so delay will cause most people to be late for school or work.

    9. Each train on the Circle Line is 70m long – that’s as long as 2.5 basketball courts - and weighs around 170 tonnes – 22 adult Asian elephants.
    At its maximum capacity, each train can carry up to 931 passengers.
