8 in 10 Singaporeans pissed off with the transport system

Singaporeans' satisfaction with our own public transport system is poor, as indicated in this recent news report, and the subsequent comments on cyber space.

"Singapore scored 54.5 points, below the global benchmark of 61. Those travelling on public transport indicated a higher level of discontent: Out of 740 public transport commuters and 674 private transport commuters polled here, 77.5 per cent and 57 per cent respectively were dissatisfied with their journey experience."

I've been to KL, China and India, and if they can rank at 9th, 12th, 14th and 15th, ahead of Singapore's 18th place, it says a lot about the Singaporean attitude. Either we are so atas we have such high expectations or we are really just a bunch of pampered whiners living in our luxurious ivory tower.

I think this survey reads better as a measure of how whingy Singaporeans are.

Oh, you beat me to it - I was also going to say that the only thing this survey shows is how much Singaporeans like to complain! :-)
