Continuing the discussion from Life on the MRT 2025:
I am on the way home from a late night. Sitting on the perpendicular seats I heard a loud thud behind me. Getting up to see what happened, a 20 something year old girl is on the ground face up. I don’t know what happened and it seems that her friends managed to get to her, but damn.
I almost pressed the driver intercom. But it seems they have it under control. Hopefully she doesn’t have a concussion.
Are you talking about the yellow triangle?
The triangle is designed to give way, something to hit in time before a catastrophic pinch event can occur. Like the dangly balls you get on height restrictions going into drive-through’s or what-have-you.
The real issue here is that the escalator is at a too extreme slope, look at the stairs in comparison. The destination is the same, but the escalator should either be less steep and longer, or set further forward.
What yellow triangle?
The Yellow Triangle is the deity of the Society of the Citrus Geometrists.
We are a small but powerful collective which oversees the undercurrents of the overarching undermine of society.
Our previous deity was well-known at a time - you may recall Limewire, but their work is now complete. Forever in our juicy, acidic hearts x
