Shelters that extend out to the road must be at least 4.5M high. Shelters at that height are useless when there is thunderstorm with strong winds.

IMHO.

Let them figure out how to do it.  Anyway, SG's rain is challenging - sometimes machiam like horizontal.

This breakdown is really a "shame on us".

A train of 35 yo equates to 3.5 cycle of coe or 7 cycles of GE.

If that train could talk, it probably will just continue to work in silence like our plate collectors? How much more money it has to rake in before finally surrender itself? 

And we are so overly concerned over something every 5 yrs? Be assured lah. What major damage can 5 yrs inflict leh? Is like how bad can a 5 yo car be leh? This is one good example that shit can only happen after a long long time? Train 35 yo already we also bochap dare to take but dare not take a plunge? 😉

The blind sheep will still be grateful that there are even bridging buses provided for them and that this is an isolated incident  

Yes we have many incidents and all qualified to be isolated. Must tax on 2 words like coe is it's been used often. Isolated and monitor. 😉

SMRT belongs to Gov't,Court Fine SMRT,also for "Show",if SMRT fully belong to Private..then not the Same.

If LTA fine SMRT, the money goes to Public Transport Fund (or not Govt Coffer).

In addition, SMRT will lose its incentive.  That means SMRT will incur bigger losses.

Temasek might need to inject more $$ into SMRT resulted in lesser income from govt investment.

If bridging is getting common,  should at least build proper sheltering. 

Not a imho suggestion, rather an utterly lousy suggestion.

If bridging services is getting common, providers or policy makers ought to slap themselves and get to the root cause of why always had to activate bridging services? Was it preventable or REALLY unforeseen? Down for entire 24 hrs is unforeseen? Or due to not adopting "over maintenance?!"

What proper sheltering? How proper is proper? Our people already little bit complain here there? Already spoilt, not resilient, and blame culture reeking. No shelter say no shelter, built shelter to shield rain say no shield sun, or say shelter design not nice etc etc?

A spade is call a spade. Call a spade a spade.

😁 laughing at a response from our Mr. Know-it-all civil service....going on and on and on with his engaging audience getting smaller smaller smaller.

Meanwhile, MRT continues to breakdown.

Think during CEO Saw times, MRT not running smoothly.  

She shouldn't be carried into the Ballroom by 4 chunky men on carriage (taboo).

 I read that some of the SBS ground staff were soaked due to rain while  holding up umbrellas for commuters to board those bridging busses.  Heart-warming to hear such camaraderie, but also heart-wrenching to hear the staff have to go through that.

I hope the management rewards all those staff that have to be deployed last minute to do such exhaustive task...

 

Why don't even have rain coats prepared for them? Luckily just a shower and not heavy thunderstorm.

"Engineers found a total of 34 rail breaks, such as cracks or chips, along 1.6km of tracks between Clementi and Dover stations after overnight checks. The train also damaged three point machines, which are used to divert the train to different tracks, stretches of the third rail which supplies power to trains, as well as power cables and rail clips."

Can give me 4D number

question: how many generals does it take to repair a traction power fault?

[Tkseah]

Guess they will try to restore partial service and only keep the clementi - dover closed for few more days for repairs..
