Do Train Glasses In Singapore Get Opaque When Passing Buildings?

Rating:

• The video showing a subway car in Singapore is REAL.
• The windows become opaque when the train passes through the residential area, protecting personal privacy.

We can say that public transportation is not a choice but a ‘must’, especially in megacities like Istanbul. Well, the development of technology is undeniable. Today, we don’t take coal-fired steam trains or phaetons like we used to. Because there are more advanced mechanical engines and softer seats than before, it is more comfortable to travel like this.

Recently, we came across a video allegedly recorded in Singapore. In the images in question, we see that the windows of the train car turn into a dull state as the train car passes by the buildings.

The page that shared it attached the following explanation to the post:

The windows of the train, which passes close to residential areas in Singapore, are automatically matted so that the living spaces of the people in the apartments are not visible.

We investigated whether this information, which is quite interesting and shared by many, is true.

The Opaque Glasses When Approaching the Residential Area Are Real

First of all, we search for the subject in English, one of the official languages ​​of Singapore, with keywords such as “Singapore”, and “Blurring windows”. We come across some wagon interior images similar to this video. Just like in this video, the windows become dull and obscure the view as the train passes through residential areas.

As unreal as it may seem, this opaque glass technology in Singapore is real. Moreover, these videos date back 13 years, so they are not new.

We’re doing deeper research on the train. As we understand from the video, the images show a line called “Bukit Panjang LRT”. This train is Singapore’s first autonomous (driverless) train. You will understand technology in every sense.

The “instant opaque glass technology” in question is not a new technology either. This glass technology is used in common areas to ensure just such privacy.
