SINGAPORE: Train services between Ang Mo Kio and Marina Bay stations have been disrupted, in the third service breakdown this week for Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT).
SMRT said in a statement on Saturday advised commuters on the affected stretches to use other transport modes or take bus bridging services provided between Toa Payoh and Raffles Place, as well as a shuttle service between Marina Bay and Raffles Place.
As at 9:00 am, SMRT said the northbound service from Raffles Place to Jurong East station is available.
Calls to the Channel NewsAsia hotline of the disruption of service started coming in at about 7.00 am.
One caller, Jeannie said that at about 6.50 am, she and other passengers who were in a train near City Hall MRT were asked to evacuate the train and had to walk along the tunnel after "the doors got stuck".
Another caller said at 7.21 am, when service on the North-South Line broke down towards Marina Bay, an announcement was made about the breakdown but no reason was given.
