My trip to SMRT

Last Tuesday, I went to SMRT together with my classmates. Mr. Fong also came along. It was my first trip there. We went there after school, so school that day was as usual. We took a chartered bus to the SMRT building. It was near Raffles city. It took about half an hour to reach there.



When we reached there, we first went to the auditorium to see a video on Singapore’s public transport. They are videos on buses, taxis/cabs and MRT/LRT. After the video, our guide asked us a few transport related questions.Then, she brought us to the MRT station near Raffles City. There, she told us what we should do when there is fire breakout in the MRT. She also told us how the staff there would help us to pick up our wallet if it happened to drop it onto the train track.



We took a train to Marina Bay station. The train ride was very fun!


We were given a reusable bag and a packet of soft drink each.


After the visit to the SMRT building, I have a better understanding on public transportion system in Singapore and the role of SMRT and its importance to us.
