LTA to start train loading trial on 19 July
Seven MRT stations will be used for this three-month trial scheme.
In a release, LTA said it is embarking on a new three-month train loading trial starting from 19 July 2012 to study the effectiveness of train loading information posters in helping commuters decide when to start their trips.
The posters use different gradient colours to represent the varying train loading levels at a MRT station from 'less crowded' to 'more crowded' from 7.00am to 10.00am on weekdays. Seven MRT stations have been identified for the trial. LTA will evaluate the effectiveness of the posters once the trial is completed.
