Entering or Remaining in Train when it is full - Fine $500.
So if train is full, fine who? Everyone in the train? hmmmmm
Compliance with instructions (because there's reference to Reg 11)
11. Every person while on the railway premises shall comply with all notices, signs and all reasonable directions and instructions of any authorised person.
No entry into train when it is full
12. Without prejudice to regulation 11, where any authorised person determines that a train is full, no person shall enter or remain in the train if directed not to do so by him.

The rule is poorly expressed.
I think they also want to cover the possibility of a SMRT officer asking a commuter to exit the MRT cabin if it is already jam packed. So as to give more space to the others remaining in the cabin.
If anything this law puts pressure on the poor uncles and aunties doing crowd control. There's only so much they can do if everybody wants to go somewhere in a hurry especially during peak hours
It is almost impossible to implement the rule fairly to the commuter/s.
For example, the person so directed to leave the cabin may argue why me? And not the persons next to me? And how can you fine me only when so many other people could have been asked to leave the cabin.
Thus it becomes arbitrary and a person gets fined because of luck of the draw. The SMRT officer happen to pick on him or her.
How about "transferring good between paid and unpaid areas without passing through the gate"? Buy n Sell people do this all the time!

Again, it's also a question of how many people are doing this. No point arguing from a few isolated cases.Exactly ... How does this affect the MRT operation or anything with the trains at all ... I have done that before and probably will still continue to do that for the convenience.
Does it mean that if people went out and then come back in again, they will make so much more to make that the SMRT will become a more profitable company.
Still does not address the service quality and the operation of the train service.
If you are late for work, just tell ye boss train/bus full. LOL
