Boarding a crowded North-South Line train and gambling on whether you'll get a seat.

MRT NPC

A commuter who stands perfectly still, follows the same routine every day, and somehow always appears at the same carriage.

I've seen the same MRT NPC every morning for two years.

One More Train Syndrome

The belief that the next train will be less crowded. It never is.

I waited for three trains because of One More Train Syndrome.

Circle Line Speedrun

Missing your stop because every station somehow looks the same when you're using your phone.

Was scrolling Instagram and accidentally completed a Circle Line Speedrun.

Transfer Tax

The physical suffering paid every time you change MRT lines.

Dhoby Ghaut charged me a transfer tax of 4 escalators and 2 kilometres.
