Please keep left
Singaporeans in general are not civic minded I tell you. Everytime I take the MRT or NEL, I am reminded of that sad fact. There are numerous signs on the escalators and travelators reminding commuters to keep to the left side but rarely do I see anyone doing it.
Its not so bad if I can say "Excuse me" and make my way through. Its most irritating when I am in a hurry and have keep excusing myself to people to push my way through. And getting weird looks from them! The most annoying people are couples who seem to like to play out their romance story on these escalators and travelators and are totally oblivious that they are in the way.
Just a gentle reminder to everyone, escalators and travelators are meant to help people move from one place to another in a shorter time, so please keep left and let those who are in a hurry pass through!

Usually, I just don't care and say "Excuse me!" and weave my way through the escalator crowd. If they don't care enough to stand to the left, I shouldn't care that I'm pushing my way through. =)

Yes, I push my thru too but its very annoying when people do not even have the common courtesy to stand to one side or give you an irritated look when you are pushing your way through!
