    this kind of response from orbiwan ... :a-noway:

    6 mins travel time is 6 mins travel time

    it's total add 6 mins not every station add 6 mins

    now that mrt run at crawling speed ... it's already slower than 6 mins liao

    however, a delay ... even 3 mins is a DELAY!

    because of 100 tweet to flame LTA or SMRT ... now must cut thru reserve?

    https://sg.news.yaho...-073258290.html

    �I�m not sure if we can brush aside extra six minutes just like that because for the MRT commuters, extra half a minute is terrible,� Khaw said.

    �Because when the train has a disruption and there�s an extra one minute of delay, within that one minute (commuters) send out maybe 100 tweets to flame LTA or SMRT,� he added.

    but this kind of 5 years old excuse ... beh sai lor

    comparing a 6mins travel time vs a 6mins delay ... la la ki ki liao

    i believe many accept the fact point a to b travel time is 36mins and not 30mins + 6mins delay

    A poll commissioned by the LTA showed that commuters were more satisfied with public transport last year than in the last five years.

    Commuters were more satisfied last year with public transport than they had ever been in the last five years, a poll commissioned by the Land Transport Authority showed, reported�The Straits Times.�

    The latest annual Public Transport Customer Satisfaction Survey revealed that the satisfaction level inched upwards by 0.5 points to reach 91.8 percent - the highest since 2010.�It was the second consecutive improvement since the government pumped in billions to expand the public bus fleet, and ramped up a rail renewal programme on the older North-South and East-West MRT lines.

    The satisfaction level for bus services improved for the third consecutive year, rising slightly to 90.7 percent.�The most significant improvement was in waiting time, which rose to 72.4 percent. Despite that, waiting time remained the lowest-scoring component of the bus satisfaction matrix.�Bus reliability rose by 5.4 points to 84.2 percent.

    The satisfaction level for MRT services also rose, despite the unprecedented breakdown in July that affected nearly half a million people. Waiting time posted a 3.9 point improvement and service information was 3.7 points higher.�However, the MRT scored somewhat poorly for crucial components such as reliability and comfort. They stood at 83.7 and and 78.9 percent, respectively.

    Overall, public transport commuters were most satisfied with accessibility to bus stops, stations and interchanges (90.2 percent). Next came safety and security (90 percent).

    I only take train on occasional Sundays to send my kids to classes. 2 stops only. Yeah, I'm satisfied it didn't breakdown. LoL...

    But seriously this kinda ownself pat ownself on the back should stop.

    I think this survey target commuters like those who take train occasional, during off peak hours or 1-2 stops only. That's why they are satisfied with the public transport. Try interview those commuters taking train during the peak hours, esp at Jurong East MRT in the evening, see whether are they really satisfied?! [shakehead]

    SINGAPORE - A train fault on the Circle Line apparently caused widespread congestion at MRT stations during morning rush hour on Tuesday (March 15).

    While there were no updates on the train fault on operator SMRT's Twitter page, the first complaints started appearing on Twitter at around 8.10am.

    Several commuters complained of slow trains and being stuck at stations.

    Looks like breakdown down during peak hour is a norm now!

    SMRT cover up train breakdown incident today

    While frustrations grew and tempers flared, SMRT held back information over a massive train breakdown that happened along the Circle Line affecting key interchange Serangoon�and Dhoby Ghaut�this morning (Mar 15). The listed conglomerate in Singapore�s transport duopoly did not update their Twitter and Facebook account as they usually do. SMRT has as in past occasions use these social media outlets as official channels to inform commuters of train delays.

    According to twitter accounts, there was a train fault along the Circle Line this morning around 8.10am and train stations became unbearably crowded for close to an hour.

    It appears SMRT has taken train delays and breakdowns as part and parcel of everyday life to not see the need to inform commuters. Despite having news outlets picking up the report, SMRT did not apologize or make any explanation for the morning delay.

    In the recent transport survey conducted by the Land Transport Authority, Singaporeans surveyed were found very satisfied at 78.9% satisfaction rate over train service. The result has however been called out as a bluff by many Singaporeans online as the Singapore government has a history of fabricating statistics and surveys to generate a better image for itself.

    you are right. it is not that commuters cannot stand waiting for an extra 5 mins.

    once u are delayed by a few mins during peak hours, the station will start to flood with sea of people

    Think KBW might experience this but only once or twice per year, don't think he can understand fully. Lol. Only if you take the train on everyday basic, then can understand this analogy. Many times it is not about the long waiting time, but the ripple effect on the flood of people on the train and platform! The difference between a 2 mins interval vs a 4 mins interval train could have a big impact on the crowds.

    4-hour MRT disruption on E-W Line

    A track fault on the East-West MRT Line yesterday caused the most serious rail disruption since January.�

    The fault near Paya Lebar station, suspected to have been triggered by a works vehicle during the pre-dawn maintenance shift, lengthened travelling time by up to 30 minutes on the westbound track during the morning rush hours.

    Service was affected for nearly four hours, with normal service resuming only by 10.10am.

    Commuters tweeted about the train disruption from as early as 6.30am.

    Finance analyst Kat Lee, 30, said her trip from Bedok to Paya Lebar took more than 25 minutes.

    "Normally the train ride for the same distance takes slightly more than five minutes," she said.

    "The delay caused me to be 15 minutes late for a meeting I was hosting."

    Yesterday, SMRT had initially announced that journey times would take 15 minutes longer. It then progressively revised this to 20, 25 and finally, 30 minutes.

    The disruption affected thousands of commuters travelling during the morning commuting hours from 6.30am to around 9am.

    Checks carried out by The Straits Times found that neither trains nor stations between Aljunied and Raffles Place were packed from 9.30am.

    By around 9.40am, station announcements stated that the track fault had been rectified, but service was not up to speed yet because of congestion. Normal service resumed only by 10.10am.

    SMRT spokesman Patrick Nathan said the disruption was traced to a faulty track signal circuit.

    "Our engineering staff replaced the faulty track circuit while some trains were halted momentarily for the repair work," he said.

    "Initial investigations revealed that overnight track work by a track tamping vehicle, which is used to compact the ballast that supports the tracks, may have damaged the track circuit."

    He added: "We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Procedures will be strengthened for overnight track work to prevent a recurrence of the incident."

    The last major breakdown affecting a long stretch of the MRT took place on Jan 28, when a train fault disrupted morning rush-hour commute on the East-West Line.

    During that disruption, travelling time from Aljunied station to Jurong East station took 25 minutes longer. Service resumed fully about an hour later.

    Ah, now see why little or no maintenance carried out during reign of the woman CEO.

    Maintenance cause more problems than no maintenance.

    They always created many problems during their pre-dawn maintenance shift, and affect the train during the morning peak. Which until now i still don't understand why the maintenance teams in smrt still cannot make it?

    4-hour MRT disruption on E-W Line

    A track fault on the East-West MRT Line yesterday caused the most serious rail disruption since January.�

    The fault near Paya Lebar station, suspected to have been triggered by a works vehicle during the pre-dawn maintenance shift, lengthened travelling time by up to 30 minutes on the westbound track during the morning rush hours.

    Service was affected for nearly four hours, with normal service resuming only by 10.10am.

    Commuters tweeted about the train disruption from as early as 6.30am.

    Finance analyst Kat Lee, 30, said her trip from Bedok to Paya Lebar took more than 25 minutes.

    "Normally the train ride for the same distance takes slightly more than five minutes," she said.

    "The delay caused me to be 15 minutes late for a meeting I was hosting."

    Yesterday, SMRT had initially announced that journey times would take 15 minutes longer. It then progressively revised this to 20, 25 and finally, 30 minutes.

    The disruption affected thousands of commuters travelling during the morning commuting hours from 6.30am to around 9am.

    Checks carried out by The Straits Times found that neither trains nor stations between Aljunied and Raffles Place were packed from 9.30am.

    By around 9.40am, station announcements stated that the track fault had been rectified, but service was not up to speed yet because of congestion. Normal service resumed only by 10.10am.

    SMRT spokesman Patrick Nathan said the disruption was traced to a faulty track signal circuit.

    "Our engineering staff replaced the faulty track circuit while some trains were halted momentarily for the repair work," he said.

    "Initial investigations revealed that overnight track work by a track tamping vehicle, which is used to compact the ballast that supports the tracks, may have damaged the track circuit."

    He added: "We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Procedures will be strengthened for overnight track work to prevent a recurrence of the incident."

    The last major breakdown affecting a long stretch of the MRT took place on Jan 28, when a train fault disrupted morning rush-hour commute on the East-West Line.

    During that disruption, travelling time from Aljunied station to Jurong East station took 25 minutes longer. Service resumed fully about an hour later.

    More than 30 min delay. My wife board the train at Pasir Ris before 8am, and reaches Paya Lebar at 9am+. And the best part was�NO announcement at MRT station at all!

    I am not surprised, just highlighting that take news report with a pinch of salt.

    Not the first time she encountered MRT breakdown. The other time lagi better, stuck in MRT station for almost 1 hour (due to crowd control measures that restrict people movement in and�out of MRT station) with NO train services, and the next day, news reported a minor delay of 10 min...

    I am not complaining, but waiting patiently for all these nonsense to be resolved. I know it is fat hope...

    Once I thought MRT was a faster route to the airport at around 5-6pm when ECP/PIE would be peak, the train was delayed between Expo and Changi for about 15-20 mins. Slightly panicking as it was close to flight departure time. No announcements either - the train was moving albeit very slowly, jerking and stopping intermittently.�

    If all minor delays were to be reported, guess SMRT / SBS has to hire one battalion of staff just to send announcement (via PA / SMS / Apps / Twitter, etc.) and response to massive public scolding, and needless to say someone position will be at risk.

    But, announcement should be made so as to allow traveller to plan their trip better. They always said start your journey early, but just how early is sufficient. Can't be that I start work at 9am, start taking train at 6am right?

    Our train is no longer reliable and fast. And it could breakdown any sec and mins. So you need to prepare for extra timing and mindset that your journey will be longer or you will get stuck in the train/station somewhere for long period of time. Lol.

    day after the EW line delay, CCL also had delay but not reported by media.

    I have My Transport app on my hp, so I do receive messages when MRT is "facing delay"� [laugh]

    Confirmed it is a fat hope that all these nonsense and issues will be resolved. Lol.

    15-20 mins delay is significant considering our size. Without traffic, one travels on PIE from East to West within 35 mins.

    What LTA or MOT still doesn't seem to get it right, is it isn't just a question of not having any delays but at least communicate it timely and effectively so people can re-plan their schedule as much as possible. If I knew the published time will be delayed by 15-20 mins, I will surely just take a taxi or leave early. By delaying such communication, people assume the train is on time and more people get stuck in the delay. Or perhaps they are more concern about their KPI for having no delays.

    fact - 2 maintenance staff died on the track. SOP certainly breached.�

    but no scared, nothing a warning or financial punishment can't rectify.�

    Next, please�
