Commuters travelling between Ang Mo Kio and Marina Bay on south-bound trains were delayed by 20 minutes on Tuesday night after yet another train fault.

The latest hold-up on the North-South line comes just a day after a track circuit failure on the same line caused a 50-minute delay during Monday morning rush hours.

At 10.23pm on Tuesday, SMRT issued a tweet to say that the problem has been fixed and the service from Ang Mo Kio towards Marina Bay was operating normally.

Since the new year, commuters have had to put up with a spate of delays on MRT trains. There have been four incidents on the North-South and East-West lines that resulted in delays of more than 30 minutes. This is already half the number of such train delays in total for the whole of last year.

CEO meets another KPI again. Bonus just went up by $100k.

Singapore commuters should consider a class action suit against SMRT. The constant breakdowns are causing thousands if not millions of loss man hours and aggravation to commuters.

 

[Confuseous]

Zero Tolerance for breakdowns.

Hey Desmond Quack, what is going on man?

Zero Tolerance for breakdowns.

Hey Desmond Quack, what is going on man?

" We have just greased the rails, so please bear with the inconvenience, the trains have to run slowly than normal, normal services will resume as soon possible. In the meantime, please grease our palms with more money" SMUG operator.

S’poreans apologise to SMRT CEO for causing his trains to frequently break down

Singaporeans from all walks of life, who like to take the MRT train because cars are for rich people, are feeling apologetic and sincerely sorry.
This after they caused the North South MRT Line to break down again this Monday morning during peak hour as they all got ready for work and school at the same time at 7am.
One Singaporean, Jin Soh Lee, said he would like to personally apologise to SMRT CEO Desmond Kuek for causing him inconvenience: “I’m sorry Desmond Kuek. I caused your MRT system to break down again. Please forgive me and my fellow commuters for making you work harder to oversee that there is no more train faults even when all of these problems are not your fault.”
Another Singaporean, Gei Ni Qian, went beyond apologising and insisted on doing more on his part to ensure the quality of MRT trains improve: “I would like to give myself and my fellow commuters the B grade for our performance as the paying public.”
“If we paid more for our fares every year, none of these would have happened.”
“Eh wait…”
