A Singapore MRT WTF
In: Fun|Operating Systems
16 Mar 2007The Singapore MRT has to be one of the best public rail transport systems in the world (I fancy the Tokyo train/subway system as well – the fare adjustment machine is one of those “since sliced bread” ideas), but they still have room to screw up in a Daily WTF-worthy way.
This sign at Raffles Place MRT used to show train arrival times:
It’s been there for about 3 days, was still there when I checked this morning.

Three days? Either the station is using a very archaic machine that takes 3 days to reboot or they have completely missed the fact that it’s stuck.
These occurrences, however, are not uncommon. Saw something similar (showing command line prompt) in Sommerset several months back.
