Ah, so you admit that it does seem overcrowded at times.

I do not think you can win that argument.

Considering that you still have shuttle buses and Uber can take you from Changi to Jurong East for less than $30 - the situation is not that bad.
Did I specify MRT? How about buses? It's a 24-hour airport...at least help out airport employees with buses.
