SINGAPORE - A track fault has caused delays for commuters travelling on the North-South line, SMRT said via its Twitter account on Thursday evening.
In the first of two tweets posted, SMRT said that a track fault at Bishan had caused an estimated 10-minute delay for commuters travelling from Marina Bay to Ang Mo Kio.
A second tweet was then posted at about 7pm, saying that the delay was now about 15 minutes.
�
�
�
�
Yeah right. 10mins delay, 15mins delay, add together additional 1-2hr to reach your destination.
�
Actually do the ministers know about this? Or are they really reading this and think,"aiya, 10-15mins delay only"?
Do they seriously know what commuters have to go through? I highly doubt it.

but I scared wait split into air + sea + land means 3 guys doing it and we have to pay 3 salaries instead of 1 ... $6m lei ... a lot of money ...

The fundamental issue doesn't lie with the number of minister handling the issue. There's just too many ppl overloading the trains and rail network. Even if they put 10-20 heads together to try to solve the problem also no use. It's a matter of too late, before they increase population they should have done the necessary. If not Mr Lui also won't leave. If he's shorthanded or lack of manpower all he has to do is give command and he shall have it.
�
Other areas of transportation like air and sea have their respective CEOs to handle and they do not have the same issue of overcrowding...maybe in the future but not right now.

You got the point. You are right.
Even my work place got too many people. Some do not even want to do work. Just malingering around as if they are tourists here for sight-seeing.

�
Yes, because he is leaving that's why he is suddenly the expert.
�
Previously he already knows all these issues but why bring it up to shoot himself? Now that he is leaving, he can finally speak the truth.
Soldiers to help in major train disruptions
�
Soldiers will be roped in as marshals to give directions to stricken commuters in the event of a massive train breakdown, The Straits Times has learnt.
�
The Land Transport Authority (LTA), which is beefing up its contingency plans, has approached the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to explore deploying the men in green to give directions and manage crowds. They will be tapped only during large-scale disruptions.
�
LTA said that personnel from the police, Public Transport Security Command (Transcom) and the Singapore Civil Defence Force are already helping LTA and the public transport operators in managing such incidents.
�
An LTA spokesman told The Straits Times that it "will also work with other agencies like the Defence Ministry (Mindef) to provide additional manpower resources if necessary".
�
When contacted, Mindef confirmed the move, saying that SAF will work with LTA in the event of a major disruption, "while maintaining our primary responsibility to safeguard our security environment".
�
The latest move comes on the back of a spate of major incidents involving Singapore's rail system.
�
The most recent was the massive July 7 breakdown of the North-South and East-West MRT lines, which affected some 250,000 commuters during the peak hour.
�
When trains broke down around 7pm, there were accounts of people not managing to reach home until close to midnight. Some walked all the way.
�
A review was conducted in the wake of the incident, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Josephine Teo in Parliament on Monday.
�
It was found that the contingency plans of rail operator SMRT were "not adequate" to handle the scale of the breakdown, she added.As a result, trunk bus services calling at MRT stations hit by delays or breakdowns will be ramped up to provide alternative travel options for commuters, said Mrs Teo.
�
Transport expert Park Byung Joon said that tapping on the military during massive disruptions makes sense, as soldiers can be called up and deployed at short notice and "can channel commuters to the right places as quickly as possible".
�
The adjunct associate professor at SIM University said using the military as "an alternative backup manpower" during such incidents is not unheard of.
�
He pointed out that some special force troops in the South Korean army learn how to operate trains, to ensure train services continue in the event of a strike by train drivers.
�
Alex Yam, deputy chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Defence and Foreign Affairs, said deploying SAF personnel at MRT stations is not entirely new as soldiers are already put in key installations like Jurong Island and Changi Airport to conduct patrols.
�
They also have experience in crowd control during major national events like the National Day Parade.Mr Yam added: "Transcom already has a sizeable pool of officers, so activating military men will not be the first course of action. It is a last resort."

The obvious solution when we have generals being the bosses at Transport Ministry, LTA, AND SMRT......

My�suggestion will be using the 3 tonners or 5 tonners to ferry the passengers, not just crowd control.� Why want to control angry crowd?� Better transport them out of the way.�
�
Better solution than reported right?
�
Well that is one way to increase crowd control without spending a cent.�
�
yeah, free manpower without increasing expenses.
�
so actually SMRT very the�smart, own house�unsound never mind, escalate matters to national level and now Mindef also involved. want to play, play BIG BIG ...

I agree. But now its a for-profit company, every year raise fare still cannot make it work, now need Ah Boy to help out also.

Got profit shiok shiok get increment and bonus. Got problem say things like unforeseen, too many people take train at the same time, third rail, water leak, no resources etc ...

I also think public transport should be nationalised since we can't seem to make it work under a for-profit model, but this takes a lot of political will and balls to change the model at this juncture.

During LKY's time, there were mentioned concern with brain drain (emigration of the better citizens). Now the concern is to fill the vacancies left behind with any 3rd world immigrants. Could be among reasons for the repeated breakdowns and other issues.

we should not whine but stand together to tie over this difficult period as one singaporean with the belief that our garment will slowly but surely solve it.

Slowly but surely solve it? Maybe have to wait another 10 years?! But by then population already increased dont know how much liao! So don't know they still can solve or not eventually?! Lol.
This morning along woodlands line, waiting time for the train was 3-4 mins! Don't know what's the reason again?!
