The quintessential Singapore MRT experience in 16 gifs

Because taking the train everyday is very character-building

Ah, taking the train. Probably the only form of commute available to us lesser mortals. Our only consolation is that we aren’t paying through our nose monthly for a hunk of metal wheels that depreciates at an alarming rate.

If you’ve taken the train often enough, here are some situations that you’d have probably encountered.

 

1. When someone who smells like he has not showered in months stands beside you in a packed train.

 

2. When you’ve so tired and you board the train which heads in the wrong direction.

 

3. The face of the asshole who farted next to you in a crowded train.

 

4. My face when someone plays questionable music on speaker phone.

 

5. How I wish I had these powers when the morning rush hour train closes in my face.

 

6. When my company is too cheap to cover my cab and I miss my last train home.

 

7. My reaction why I catch a guy watching porn on the train.

 

8. How most people react when their connecting train is opposite at City Hall.

 

9. Sometimes I feel like doing this when people rush on a crowded train at Jurong East and at Clementi.

 

10. My reaction when someone brushes past a pregnant lady to sit on the reserved seat.

 

11. When I overhear a conversation I should not have.

 

12. Rarely, when someone plays an awesome playlist on the train I wish I could do this. 

 

13. When I bump into someone that I’ve never met for the longest time on the train.

 

14. How I probably look like on the train in the morning (and everyone else).

 

15. When I’m so engrossed with watching the finale of How I Met Your Mother and I missed my stop.

 

16. How I think I look like when I get off at Pasir Ris when I boarded at Joo Koon.
