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

[testerjp]

I tot Boon lay to queestown only?

So the whole EWL cannot use?

 

[Griggs]

I see ytd mrt breakdown then everyone need to get off and walk on the track. If PMD user there, how to go onto the track? Got ppl carry them all the way to the nearest station?

 

[naturelover]

Squeezing myself into my kid's school uniform now!

 

[kitsura]

I could have flown to BKK taking same amount of time

SIN to HKG only 4hrs, think about that.

 

[BigLiarLiar]

Volunteers means SMRT not paying those cabbies right?

 

[the_dog]

volunteer... means not guaranteed there will be enough cabs for all who want it ?

 

[AS1]

Wow. Seems SBST boss came down to JE and helped out the staff on the ground when this problem is not even SBST the taiji.

The trains at boon lay so slow moving that the queue to enter the station snaked until Jurong point.

 

[No Ragrets]

I remb some big shot says dun over maintain the railway

Should not overpay the big shots also.

 

[AuraKUPO]

Wah kao I don't have kids and they are not my kids. Who pay for the taxi??? I rather they use taxpayer's money on train maintenance or buy new train

Traffic congestion on the rainy day who bear the cost?

I in fact drive from Jurong West extension to boonlay to Clementi just now about 9am... Congestion all the way due to rain and heavier traffics...

I still have to pay for my $100k Coe, fuel cost and time cost for stuck in sucky traffic..

I have to bear for smrt's track fault mistakes!?

I think this is the best evidence to support raising coe ...

If everyone use cars, the roads will burst

 

[kitsura]

If in Jap or korea... the ceo will alr pay for the kids taxi liao...

Taiwan the ceo maybe even be chauffeur for psle kid wor

In S.Korea it is public holiday during their college entrance exam.

Radio say got mother spend $100 cab fare to send her kid to school for PSLE? She missed this free cab ride!

Maybe she can send receipt to the Acting Transport Minister to claim reimbursement?

[sonicboyz]

If PMA also dunno how, so big size

 

[Elfblade]

I may be Zek Ark but I hope they do a proper job and really replaced all the damage track b4 reopening the EWL. Safety is of utmost importance compared to a shoddy job and trying to reopen it ASAP.

 

[testart]

I remember LKY say he seek Singaporean understanding on immigration policy

 

[thyler_koh]

Cheehonduck and eggmy pay from their millions dollar salary?

They will tell you they will monitor the situation first

Mr Lim Tien Hock, chief executive officer of SBS Transit’s (SBST) bus business, was also seen at Buona Vista directing buses and commuters.

He told ST: “For SBST, we are supporting the bus bridging (services) for the disruption of the EWL, in support of LTA and SMRT.


“Because our buses are also deployed here to provide the bus bridging from Buona Vista to Jurong East, I thought I would also like to be here (as my guys are also on the ground), to make sure that things are moving smoothly.”

Mr Lim said he arrived at around 5.30am, to catch the first train which leaves at 6.16am and to make sure things are in place as SBST’s buses arrive on time and queues are well-managed.

However, SMRT's senior management were nowhere to be seen.

Senior Management still sleeping la
