36 Trains per hour, down to the seconds: how a world class subway line should be performing

I wasn't talking about two years ago, I said I got the Victoria line for two years, as recently as January of this year for my regular commute.

I actually did get it within the last two months too. As recently as July. I commuted to our London office for a week and it was a nightmare.

Everyone in Singapore seems to think their MRT is rubbish when you don't know how good you've got it.

Here there are delays every now and then, I used to be delayed every. single. day. I used to literally be so squished up into the tube and it would cost me double or triple what it costs here.

With no aircon, no phone signal, just in a dark tube underground it sucks.

Go live in London, take the tube for a year, especially the Victoria line and then let me know if you agree with this video, because I can guarantee you won't.

The tube has been in a state of upgrade for several years now and every time they "upgrade" it's become more congested, more expensive and slower than before. No matter what they say to advertise it, its real world usage that actually makes you realise the tube would operate just like in this video but it can't.

There are too many people for it to ever function like that.
