A musical interlude for their commute
Commuters at Raffles Place MRT station yesterday got the chance to listen to a violin performance as they waited for their train to arrive. It was the start of the Land Transport Authority’s three-month pilot programme — in partnership with the National Arts Council and SMRT — to allow busking at platforms and concourses in paid areas at some MRT stations. Violinist Daniel Beng (picture) said it would take some time for commuters to get used to the buskers but that initial reactions were positive. Photo: Ooi Boon Keong
