Does the new MRT jingle rattle you?

Love it or hate it, the new MRT jingle "Train is coming, train is coming?" is here to stay, for a while at least.

It is sung by the Dim Sum Dollies, who are this year's ambassadors for the Graciousness on Public Transport programme by the Public Transport Council.

To insert fun and humor into the programme, the cabaret trio recorded a series of jingles reminding commuters to queue up, move in and give up seats. These "Transit Melodies" will be played at selected times at stations and in-train.

And it has captured the attention of Singaporeans - in both good and bad ways.

Some find it entertaining and interesting, while others find it "utterly annoying and extremely cheesy".

Which camp do you agree with?
