SINGAPORE - Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan has directed the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to conduct a collaborative exercise with rail operators SMRT and SBS Transit this month, in order to test the enhanced contingency plans put in place following the crippling July 7 breakdown.

He will be present to observe the exercise.

In his latest blog entry titled "If and when it happens...", Mr Khaw wrote that it was important to recover service speedily and minimise inconvenience to commuters in the event of another major train disruption.

�

"There must therefore be comprehensive contingency plans for breakdowns. More importantly, there must be actual and regular walk-throughs and 'live rehearsals', he said.

"This will ensure smoother execution of such plans when disruptions happen."

�

Mr Khaw, stressing the need for both operators to walk through each contingency plan�related to every MRT station, also spoke of how the top management should be present at such exercises.

"Otherwise, the staff may carry them out half-heartedly, just to put a tick in the check boxes," he added.

He also repeated his previous assertion that "low crime does not mean no crime", pointing out that even the best in class - the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway (MTR) -�experiences an average of one major disruption per month.

anyone spotted hui ge in the crowd

hearsay, he take MRT to work ... lol

honeymoon over liao for hui ge ... on the 13th days to his new post

Hui Ge took wrong train... in wrong direction lah ....
Anyway, he should try to take train at Jurong East at 8am ... then he will experience what is called sandwich class ...

i stayed at Potong Pasir. when I was out driving to work at 8.30am.
I was shocked by the return of the haze (144PSI as at 8pm) because I thought they are already water bombing the fires so shouldn't be so hazy anymore.

�

Then I drove further, I was stunned this time to see so many people hanging around the main road, taxi stand, bus stops and MRT station. I was like.. "that is unusual unless train breakdown". True enough!
the commuters are very unlucky, Late for work, have to wait for a transport to pick them up and breathing in the bad haze....all happening at the same time

�

just last week, i told my gf that I am not going to buy another car when mine is scrapping next year. I will take public transport given new minister may put things right this time....

After today's eventful sight, I just LINE my gf i think i have to re-consider again... getting a smaller car perhaps...�

�

what Khaw should work on is to get those MRT and SMRT management wake up their freaking ideas... and start to pump more blood into their pig brains... and not working against online taxi services whom may have saved many from being late for work this morning.

Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan asks LTA to conduct 'breakdown' exercise with SMRT and SBS
Posted on 13 October 2015

Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan has asked the Land Transport Authority to conduct a "breakdown" exercise with SMRT and SBS Transit this month, and has said that he will be present to observe the exercise.

In a blog post titled "If and when it happens..." on Monday (Oct 12), Mr Khaw said that there must be "comprehensive contingency plans" for rail breakdowns in order "to recover service speedily and to minimise inconvenience to commuters".

"More importantly, there must be actual and regular walk-throughs and 'live rehearsals'. This will ensure smoother execution of such plans when disruptions happen," he wrote.

He also stressed that it is important that the rail operators "actually walk through each contingency plan related to each station, and for the scenarios that they have envisaged with LTA".

"There must be Table Top Exercises, and also Ground Deployment Exercises where we put to test our contingency plans in a real-life environment."

Mr Khaw also pointed out that the top management of the operators need to be present at such exercises, "as otherwise, the staff may carry them out half-heartedly, just to put a 'tick' in the check-boxes".

LTA said that the exercise that Mr Khaw will be observing this month will be a ground deployment exercise.

Free bus rides for all if 2 MRT lines break down��

�

Christopher Tan | MyPaper | Thursday, Oct 15, 2015

�

ALL bus rides will be free in the event of a network-wide rail disruption like the one on July 7.

�

These free rides will include those on private buses, which will be roped in to help in such large-scale breakdowns.

�

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is also looking at ways to make train fare refunds in the aftermath of such disruptions more painless. Today, commuters queue in stations for refunds, adding to the crowd and confusion of a breakdown.

�

At the same time, the authority is working on a phone app to channel information to commuters as quickly and as clearly as possible. The app - which will include information such as which lines are affected, alternative routes available and which bus stops to go to - could be ready by end of the year.

�

LTA revealed these at a joint exercise with SMRT and SBS Transit yesterday to test an enhanced incident management plan.

�

LTA chief executive Chew Men Leong said: "When service is disrupted, even for a short time, our job is to get information to commuters quickly and help to provide alternative transport."

�

The exercise is the fourth since the two massive breakdowns in December 2011.

�

Since then, there have been at least 35 and 22 major disruptions on the MRT and LRT networks respectively.

�

New elements were introduced at yesterday's preparedness exercise. These include having flashing beacons at bus stops to inform commuters where free boarding is available.

�

Bus drivers will cover the fare readers when they see that flashing light, too. These beacons are being tested at Tiong Bahru and Serangoon stations, before they are rolled out to others.

�

This applies when one line, or a stretch of a line, is affected. When two or more lines are down, all buses at all bus stops will be free.

Another new initiative is activating special bus services - on top of current bus-bridging services - to ferry stranded passengers to key interchange stations or to major town centres.

�

These special bus services will be provided by public bus operators as well as private bus companies, such as Woodlands Transport, too.

�

These new steps were introduced following the July 7 incident, which crippled both the North-South and East-West lines during the evening peak period.

�

The unprecedented rail failure affected more than 400,000 passengers, many of whom got home after midnight - some by walking.

Operator SMRT was fined a record $5.4 million for the incident, which arose because of inadequate maintenance.

�

LTA is studying ways to prevent a repeat of a network-wide disruption, including physically separating the North-South and East-West lines so that an electrical fault does not spread across both lines.

�

However, should such an incident happen again, preparedness exercises such as yesterday's - which was enacted at the Tiong Bahru-Buona Vista stretch of the East-West Line - are supposed to help.

And i thought the EZ-Link card readers on buses are connected to their central IT system, still need to manually cover the card readers.� [smash]

�

Should have configured the system in such a way that whenever MRT lines broke down, the buses in the vicinity of the affected MRT stations will have their readers reset to free travel automatically. Not that hard to implement considering that buses have GPS tracking nowadays.

Should also give petrol rebate.....

�

Because, family member cannot use mrt to work/school. Then those have car will help to send them.

�

MRT operator to foot the petrol rebate bill. Make it more costly for them so that they will die die pro-actively prevent breakdown.

Can?

How to count the rebate?�

Easy.. Just pay $10 to all the 600k private cars can already.� [laugh]

now the express bus go one round in neighbourhood

hardly express

one end to the other 1hour at least

must as well take mrt?

MRT's North South, East-West Lines' electrical supply to be delinked: Khaw

�

To prevent a repeat of the massive train disruption on Jul 7, electrical breaks will be installed at Jurong East and Raffles Place Interchange stations and activated when necessary, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan says.�

�

SINGAPORE: In the wake of the Jul 7 train disruption which crippled the North-South and East-West Lines (NSEWL), the electrical supply of the two lines will be delinked when needed, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said in a blogpost on Thursday (Oct 15).

�

About 250,000 commuters were affected when the two MRT lines went down for more than three hours during the evening peak period.

�The Jul 7 train disruption was a disaster because of its scale. Two major lines, the NSEWL, were simultaneously affected. No service recovery plan can adequately address the sudden and large loss of supply in the public transport system,� Mr Khaw said.

�

To prevent a repeat of the disruption, the two lines will be delinked by installing electrical breaks at Jurong East and Raffles Place Interchange stations, Mr Khaw said. The breaks will be fully installed at the end of next month.

�

�Under normal operations, (the electrical) breaks will not be activated as we want to continue to have the flexibility between the NSL and EWL. But when the need arises, the two lines can be electrically disconnected,� he said.

�

In the meantime, maintenance of all lines must be stepped up to avoid any disruption, he said.

�

According to the Land Transport Authority, the two lines were originally electrically linked to allow trains to move from the NSL to the EWL and vice versa.

�

The link is essential as Bishan Depot is the only depot across the two lines with heavy maintenance and overhaul capability, Mr Khaw said. However, this limitation would disappear when the Tuas West Extension is completed next year, with the Tuas West Depot on the EWL which will have similar facilities.

�

�Other than for maintenance, allowing cross-overs gives operational flexibility. Unfortunately, this also means that a power fault on one line could affect the other,� Mr Khaw said.

�

However, one analyst said the safety of the network must be ensured when disconnecting the lines.

�

"If the lines are decoupled ... then the power flow cannot flow from one line to the other," said Associate Professor Kenneth Sng of the Singapore Institute of Technology. "We must ensure that the single source that comes from these particular lines after decoupling is sufficient to provide power for the trains without other issues, and make sure the voltages are at correct levels for example, during the powering and the loading of the lines."

�

Assoc Prof Sng added that the reliability of the source needs to be ensured.

So embarrassing... List of Singapore MRT disruptions

Wah... 2015 every month also have

Can't believe that our SMRT is 5th attractions in TripAdvisor.

Hopefully they can improve the reliability of the system instead of saying it's all commuters fault, like cannot bring balloons, pressing emergency buttons, too many ppl, too many taking at the same time ....

If a system is good, it can withstand all these issues....

By the default the train system never built to withstand huge number of people. But they still insists and think that their train system can handle?! Like they are going to add more train to the system, but the signalling between each train cant handle such short frequency, and resulted that train nowadays always�stop suddenly�half-way along the track or stop and go. Making the train ride very dangerous and discomfort.

Maybe some drunk angmoh like this one (http://www.channelne...or/2195288.html) puked on the tracks and caused a short circuit.

Put a sign: hold on to your angmo tightly [laugh]

Recently noticed that waiting time for the train is longer, average needs to wait 3-5 mins during peak hour. Resulted the train even more crowded and packed!

Actually train before 7.45am also not say less crowded. The train also full of students and people who report for work at 8am one. The only thing is when you alight at CBD area station, a bit lesser people. Cause most people start work at 9am at CBD.

And also cause before 8am train frequency is usually 4mins ... So usually crowd builds up by then ...

�

no really, i usually take train around 730am and frequency is about 1-3 minutes. Some time the train has to wait before the station until the one move out like every minute.

So balloons banned from stations?

�

if my kids bring balloons into station will i get fined $500?�

�

Not those rubber kind of balloons. It's those 'silver' colour aluminium balloons ..... :serious-business:

Maybe those who board train at boon lay, the train still not packed. But if you board the train at JE towards city, regardless what time, train still packed.

Shop-keepers working in MRT stations could assist during rail breakdowns, moots Khaw

�

Shop-keepers could�help guide commuters to the right bus stop or to the right queue, which will in turn help to reduce confusion among commuters during a rail breakdown, said Mr Khaw Boon Wan. He has asked the LTA, SMRT and SBS Transit to think through the idea.

�

SINGAPORE: To assist station staff during a rail breakdown, Transport Minister�Khaw Boon Wan has brought up the possibility that shop-keepers working in the stations can be roped in to help out.

�

Mr Khaw said that these shop-keepers could�help guide commuters to the right bus stop or to the right queue, which will in turn help to reduce confusion among commuters. This will in turn help the handful of station staff who will have to deal with large crowds while�awaiting reinforcements from other stations and supporting agencies.

�

In a blog post on Saturday (Oct 24) titled "The First Hour", the Transport Minister said that he has asked the Land Transport Authority, SMRT and SBS Transit to think through the idea to see if it is practical.

�

Mr Khaw said the idea came from Senior Minister of State Josephine Teo after the recent Changi Airport emergency exercise, Exercise Bobcat. He said he saw how the Changi Airport Group, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and all the stakeholders worked together to plan the exercise, put the plan into action and learn from it.

�

"SMS Josephine Teo suggested that we work together with the shop-keepers working in the station, with a view to them playing a role in contingency plans," he said. "Even if it is simply to help guide the commuters to the right bus stop or to the right queue, it will be a great help to reduce confusion amongst commuters."

�

He noted that the suggestion would require the authorities to "proactively share clear information and instructions" with the shop-keepers.

�

"This also means that we work together as one family ... during normal times, much like close neighbours who will not hesitate to chip in and help when help is needed," he said.

�

"This is the kampung spirit that we must inculcate in every MRT station. It will not be easy to forge such a culture, and it will take time, but it is the right direction to take."

�

The Transport Minister added that this �family-ness� will be important not just during train breakdowns, but will be "even more critical" during a terrorist attack on the rail system.

"Maintenance isn't sexy, but is critical in preventing a major train service disruption", says Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan in his latest blog post. http://str.sg/ZLH5

[hur] [hur] Train maintenance is the last thing I would ever associate with sexy.

�

I think the words should be "Maintenance is vital and more must be done in preventing a major train service disruption".
