The Green Line Again

A shocking thing happened at Clementi station on Friday morning. A train pulled into the station and I could not get on because it was really full. Like no space to even breathe full. The next train arrived about 2 minutes later, which was good, but it was just like the other one. Which was bad. I managed to squeeze my way on and endured the squishiness. It lasted only about till City Hall station, where all the passengers seemed to suddenly disappear. Me and a friend then managed to get seats. It got better after Lavender, where there was so much room on the train you could lie down on the row of seats and not get into anyone's way. A certain acquaintance who was traveling on the way with us (let's call him K, shall we) declined to take a seat even though it was this empty. Instead of treasuring a moment where he could actually sit on the MRT (which is getting rarer and rarer) he chose to stand all the way back to the East. And I can't really figure out why. Anyways, I wonder if it's a waste to send all these empty trains all the way to Pasir Ris. It seems a bit wasteful to me. Oh wait, on the other hand, then what will bring all the disgruntled commuters from the East towards the town area if all the trains don't go back. Never mind; I just answered my own question.
