Adrianli Hypersonic October 27, 2015 Share October 27, 2015 People going home after work and looking forward to home cook dinner also want to up ERP rate ... CTE north bound has been charging for many many years liao. It is only a matter of time other expressway also start charging. U have alternative to use West Coast Highway. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic October 27, 2015 Share October 27, 2015 The loss in tax revenue from Bus company having to provide free service during train breakdown have to come from somewhere right? Add in the fare reduction, add in the 3rd party consultant fee.... just pay lah..... So I see...... The more MRT breakdowns & more free bus services = increase revenue from other means (under transport category) ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH1667 Hypersonic October 27, 2015 Share October 27, 2015 Liddat, tis will be KBW last portfolio liao. His target his HK MTR standard unless he changed mind. Haha Well, I would say at least he is already moving in the right direction to beef up the engineering and maintenance team, I think give him some time, and we should see a more reliable system ( I hope ). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Highway will lead to Keppel Road where also another heavy vehicle traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayy25 6th Gear October 27, 2015 Share October 27, 2015 (edited) NEL is only 10 years old and it can breakdown twice within space of 3 weeks....ridiculous! this indirectly show maintenance is sloppy or OPEX has been shortchange all this while..... Look at Japan rail system, railway tracks and trains are old but in tip top conditions and they are ferrying millions of commuters around the country...my buddy whom stay in Tokyo for 2 years.... he never encountered any major disruption and even for minor ones, they recover very fast. That is the commitment and pride the Japaneses has for their product up keeping. When I was holiday in Tokyo for a week, if the electronic signboard said "Train arrived at 1750", it will do so at that time accurately regardless peak or offpeak. never once I encountered the train was late....If SG want to improve, learn from the Japanese! there is a reason why Thailand railway system is powered by Japanese consultancy and engineering and at the moment Vietnam, Ho chi Ming City first railway system is build by Japanese, using their rich experience and expertise.

Char 5th Gear October 27, 2015 Share October 27, 2015 SINGAPORE: Train service was disrupted along the North East Line for nearly two hours on Monday (Oct 26) - from the start of service to the beginning of the morning peak - due to a power fault, said SBS Transit. The transport operator first made the announcement on its Twitter account at 5.23am, saying that no trains were running between Punggol and Harbourfront stations in both directions. The first train on a weekday starts from Sengkang at 5.37am. At 7.21am, SBS Transit said service had resumed in both directions between Punggol and Harbourfront stations, although it told commuters to expect additional travelling time of up to 20 minutes. This time is LTA fault and who will fine the LTA ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5266 Supercharged October 27, 2015 Share October 27, 2015 This is very concerning ......... SMRT / LTA cannot fix its own problem and must depend on 3rd parties. So is leadership a big ? hanging in the air ... maybe we should also include PUB now since SMRT kept saying its a power fault . Jiak lat. NEL cause trouble, SMRT kena whack!
