Fatal Flaw

I withhold my praises of the new Circle Line; there's nothing wrong with the CC Line per se, I've just got an issue with how SMRT planned for the pedestrians to cross the road.

Used to be there was a temporary pedestrian crossing while construction work was going on. Now there's a lift at the entrance to the station and underpass right next to our apartment however, there's no way anyone with a set of wheels could manouvre up the escalator and then down a flight of stairs to get out of the underpass at the other side of the road. Worse, there's no way anyone without a working pair of legs could get down to the station as there's a long flight of stairs to tackle on the way down to the station from that same side of the underpass.

Try going through the station pass the ticket gantries and you're gonna get charged. Doesn't matter that you entered and exited at the same station within five minutes. You're still charged.

So.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Looks like I won't be pushing the small fry in the stroller across the road via the underpass to cross the road to get to Singpost or Fair Price.
