Sudden suspension of train service causes traffic and human jams in AMK
Commuters, who intended on taking the train from Ang Mo Kio at 745 pm today (May 13), would have found themselves stuck in a station packed with people when services to Jurong East were suddenly suspended.
STOMPer PY, who was there when the announcement was made, says that no reason was given for the sudden disruption.
Suspension of the train service resulted in long queues for buses and a traffic jam quickly formed along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3.
PY also sent in these pictures of the crowd that was left stranded when the disruption occured.
The STOMPer says:
“I was at Ang Mo Kio MRT station at 745 pm. For some unknown reason, the train service from AMK to Yishun was not available anymore.
“They were also announcing that people can claim their train fares back in three days time.
“Since there's no more train service, everyone started to queue up for buses and this created a very terrible traffic jam along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3.
“I am also not sure whether there will be a train service for tomorrow.”
