A lightning strike caused the power trip that disrupted train services between Choa Chu Kang and Woodlands MRT stations for more than two hours this evening.

Free bus services must wait one. Cannot use too many buses for free services.

Why no lightning protection? Fake excuses?

FYI, once the lighting incursion is high and exceed the lighting surge protectors KVA rating the MOV metal oxide varistors or GDT will be damage and the lighting current will be brought to ground. So far in the market there is no resettable surge arrestors in the market, you still need a physical manpower to replace them.

I think given the recent track record, all commuters would be advised to pee and shate before taking the MRT trains

If train breakdown and you are stuck, there's no private compartment to do those things

And certainly someone will video you and put on TikTok

If you look at the weather for last 24 hours, there were no thunderstorms in that area at 550pm, very suspicious.
