Changi rolls out part of new train system

The Straits Times, Thurs 23 march 2006

Changi airport has just launched its new People Mover System last week to ferry passengers between terminlas 1 and 2. The train runs much faster than the 16 year-old existing Skytrain and will continue undergoing upgrading to install plasma tvs and LCD screens to be ready for use with the new terminal 3 when it is ready. I am excited to hear of this new train system in our very own Changi airport, our airport is constantly being upgraded and is slowly becoming a very advanced technological hub for air travel. The new People Mover System boasts attractive features such as faster transport speeds between terminals. Also there will be LCD screens available to show passengers onboard flight information which the old Skytrain lacks. The LCD screen are a great improvment as it enables passengers to know of flight and boarding information while inside the train so they no longer need to travel 'blindly'. I believe the new People Mover System will provide much more convenience to passengers and allow for smoother and better air travel transactions. The new People Mover System will eventually operate 24/7 t0 cater to late, late flights, and i feel that that is a really great idea to provide efficient and fair services to everyone in the airport be it late or early morning flights. I believe that in the future, the new People Mover System will become very popular in our airport and will improve the quality of services in Changi Airport and make it much more convenient and attractive, thus attracting more people around the world to choose to fly through Singaore.
