MRT woes 2

MRT Woes 2: Thinking of ways to create space

My favourite idea of creating space in a crowded train is stacking!

Consider this, the train height is around 2m high. The average height of a singaporean male is around 1.68m and 1.58m for a girl (go google). That's around 35 cm of wasted space per person (I didn't do the maths, it's just random averaging and estimation).

Considering that your head and neck is around 30cm, a guy's shoulder height would be around 1.4m. A girl's upper half of the body should be around 0.6m.

Thus, in the 2m tall train car, a girl can sit comfortably on a guy's shoulders, taking up ONE space instead of TWO, thus clearing more space for everyone.

One person's sacrifice is another person's gain!

Naturally, for those abnormally tall singaporeans i.e. females or males above the 1.68m height, this does not apply to them.






and no.... I'm not revealling how tall I am.


(PS: this is all said in jest and not meant to insult anyone...)
