[CONSOLIDATED] No train service on East-West Line from Boon Lay to Queenstown due to 'power fault'

[clean_cut]

seeing everybody disgruntled faces while queing for transit bus. Knowing that they are angry on the mismanagement of our transportation system.

But also feel sad that they will still vote for the incompetent no matter what happened

HAHA it true. Live goes on

 

[RedEyesFan]

Got to down play so they dont add on to the anger

Yeah. Downplay everything, including corruption.

 

[AuraKUPO]

Be glad that it's working bro. Better than no train at all

 

[El Hadji Diouf]

The system makes west side too rely on east west line to the city area of sg. seriously west side needs another fast alternative to city area.

if it happens at east side (particularly Tampines and Bedok), i can jolly well take DTL, TEL or bus 23 or 518 to get to city area fast but for Jurong west side the only 'faster' alternative is 502 and perhaps 174.

and I don't think the new JRL will help with it as everyone will end up cluster f at Boon Lay, Jurong East and CCK anyway. not only it does not go city area directly it doesn't even link to DTL, TEL and CCL.

One train line ewl for jurong ppl, when breakdown gg. Stupid planning sia, why ain't there connection to dtl, cl, tel? Even new jl also won't help. They really hate jurong ppl.

all the way strong support. why need to bother?

 

[coolmyth]

SMRT thinking ish one way travel still better than none.

 

[tatsit]

I think they auto assume. BL and JE are major public transport hubs in the west that's interconnected, either one of it down means both are down.

 

[coutuser]

Radio dj mentioning got parents pay 100 bucks just to send their kids to PSLE exam

So exaggerate. Only from buona vista to JE spoil only. So serious?

Use hydraulic or borrow heavy duty equipment from SCDF to push up the train. This one still need armchair edmwers to teach?

No need quotation, risk assessment? Also not life and death situation cannot anyhow "borrow"?
This type need consult SCDF and army first.

 

[Takagi]

If I can WFH, I sure ask for it

Raining plus the inconvenience to travel make me don't wanna go out

 

[iluvchickenwing]

wow i wonder how those workin in hotels or service line get to work on time in town by 7am

JRL is just a a branch system that reach out to "bird also dun wan to lay egg" areas. not meant to transport them to town.

People were confused on the shuttle trains.

 

[Unic0rn]

Please, no more parallel tracks. No space.

Govt needs to have the courage to commission a new line near aging lines. But this will anger people who stay near the old line as their properties have appreciated due to the MRT

Perhaps can consider to build the resilience parallel lines underground?

[David Lai]

Yeah. Downplay everything, including corruption.

No need lah, just make jurong area connected to dtl,tel, cl can liao. Now only have ewl, so tio pok no alternative.

 

[Acetone]

I know that they provisioned taxis specially for psle kids.. which is a nice touch. Can’t imagine being stressed out about psle and travelling to school

Bridging train to je, then switch bridging bus to bv, then switch bridging train to queenstown, then switch normal train east bound

[thorsten139]
