Flashing Lights
- All MRT Platform Screen Doors
- Doors In 21 Out Of 105 MRT Trains
- Bus Stopping signs on all public buses
- Display info at all stations stating the arrival and departure of trains

However, there is no visible cues to let Deaf people know that the trains terminate or got problem. So they will be the last one to know what's going on.

I have been experiencing this. I am deaf
