Govt gets it all wrong in closing down train linesShould I, or should I not, take the train today?" Apart from checking if a train is running or delayed, commuters find it helps to remain flexible in case authorities suddenly order the train services to temporarily shut. The blanket and partial closure orders for train lines, which the MRT and BTS complied with from Friday to Monday, created chaos. This is not the first time the government has meddled in the city's train services (acting like it was a major shareholder). The government, which likes to control everything, successfully shut down all the city's train services and some bus routes.
