Watwheels Supersonic January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 (edited) Looks like they need the fare hike desperately....No money pay eletric bill. LoL... They say power trip but blackout is unheard of in mrt stations. Come on lah. If power trip emergency lights and exit lights will still be up. Who they want to bluff. http://ride.asiaone.com/news/general/story/commuters-hit-blackout-linkway-outram-park-mrt-station The Straits Times | Monday, Jan 20, 2014 SBS Transit said the power trip did not affect train services. Commuters were seen using their handphones to light the way as they made their way out of the station. Blackout hits Outram MRT station: MRT commuters use phones as flashlights A blackout hit parts of Outram Park MRT station Monday, Jan 20, 2014, morning and commuters made their way through the station in relative darkness with some using their phones to light the way. Stomp contributor lokolalu was among the commuters who were affected by the blackout and said commuters had to use their phone's light to help them see where they walked. Another Stomp contributor, who was making his way to the East West Line, said some parts of Outram Park station were hit by the blackout. Stomp contributor Panda2708 added: "Underground link between East West Line and North East Line experienced a blackout early in the morning. "MRT staff seen holding torches and standing at different parts of the walkway." In a separate incident that also took place this morning, a train fault occurred on the North-South Line that caused an estimated 20 minutes delay on the North-South Line According to a report in The Straits Times, the train fault occurred at Ang Mo Kio station. At about 8.54am, an announcement was made asking all passengers to alight at Ang Mo Kio. Bus services were been activated between Woodlands and Bishan. Stomp contributors William, AshenWind, and milankaka wrote in to Stomp with photos of the crowds. William felt it would make more sense to focus on fixing the increasingly frequent train disruptions and delays, before implementing a fare hike. AshenWind likened the sight of huge crowds at Khatib and Bishan MRT stations to a scene at a club, while milankaka wrote: "SMRT train breakdown again."

Mustank Hypersonic January 21, 2014 Share January 21, 2014 WAH!!!! So many people!!!! 19,000 people affected by train fault on North-South line during morning rush hour Posted on 20 January 2014 | 19,553 views | 44 comments A train fault occurred on the North-South Line that caused an estimated 20 minutes delay on the North-South Line today. About 19,000 commuters were affected by the peak-hour delay, said train operator SMRT at a briefing. According to a report in The Straits Times, the train fault occurred at Ang Mo Kio station. At about 8.54am, an announcement was made asking all passengers to alight at Ang Mo Kio. Bus services were activated between Woodlands and Bishan. Even after train services at Yio Chu Kang station resumed, passengers are advised to provision for additional 10 minutes of travel time from Ang Mo Kio and Marina Bay stations. In a separate incident, A blackout hit parts of Outram Park MRT station this morning (Jan 20), and commuters made their way through the station in relative darkness with some using their phones to light the way. STOMPer lokolalu was among the commuters who were affected by the blackout, and said commuters had to use their phone's light to help them see while they walked. SMRT said in a statement on their Facebook page that the delay is due to a signal fault near Ang Mo Kio station. SMRT also said that free bus bridging are available. STOMPers William, AshenWind, and milankaka wrote in to STOMP with photos of the crowds. William felt it would make more sense to focus on fixing the increasingly frequent train disruptions and delays, before implementing a fare hike. AshenWind likened the sight of a huge crowd at an MRT station to a scene at a club, while milankaka wrote: "SMRT train breakdown again." A contributor to AsiaOne at Yio Chu Kang station reported of long queues and a lack of announcements. Another contributor told AsiaOne that a 10 minutes delay was initially broadcasted to passengers at Bishan MRT station. This delay was later extended to 20 minutes in a later announcement. Passengers were advised to take the bus or circle line if they were heading to town. Users posting on SMRT's Facebook page complained of being delayed for more than 45 minutes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator January 21, 2014 Share January 21, 2014 On Thursday, the Public Transport Council (PTC) said fares will go up by 3.2 per cent from April 6, which means every journey by adult commuters will cost four to six cents more. "The timing is most unfortunate, but the decision was made by the PTC...this is not an SMRT decision...The decision was taken in the full view of affordability to commuters, but also in recognition that there are operating costs that have to go into the kinds of repairs and maintenance," he said. so fast play taiji already? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
