At around 8.30am, huge crowds had already formed, and commuters were stuck at the platform, unable to move from the North-South Line (NSL).

Another commuter shared on Twitter that the four escalators leading commuters down to the CCL platform were all changed to move upwards. From the footage, it seems that commuters coming from the NSL to CCL were diverted to the stairs on the left, slowing them down.

On the other hand, commuters leaving the platform to go upstairs could use the escalators as they were functioning normally.

More pictures of the masses of people gathering at the platform soon surfaced on social media.

One commuter, who was on the way to Kent Ridge, shared that he heard an announcement at 8.30am,

Due to an incident, train departures are delayed. We seek your understanding and patience.

When MS News arrived at the platform at around 9.20am, the crowds had dispersed. However, the station manager declined to comment on the situation.

We’ve also reached out to SMRT for comments and will update the article once they get back.

Hope everyone could reach their destinations safely​

This situation must have been stressful for everyone involved as nobody wishes for such a disruption during peak hours.
We urge everyone to be understanding to the SMRT staff, who were also trying their best to help commuters travel safely.
Hopefully, the inconveniences caused were minimal and those affected weren’t too late in getting to work or school.

Wow, escalators changed direction during peak hours. World class public transport system indeed.

I noticed they have demolished a lot of the overhead bridges near where the newer MRT stations are built, so you have to go through the MRT station's underpass to cross the road (more human traffic for the shops inside). So smart!

Population overload sia. Why need so many fuckers ? Everywhere also crowded!

At least make the CECAs feel at home....

By the way, has anyone actually used SafeEntry at MRT stations, obeying the public announcements made there?

Can be crowded but cannot talk? There are also signs and public announcements saying cannot talk.

It really comforting to know Singkie is being treated like a dumb man.

Fuck CAQ, for allowing all the fucking CECAs here.

 

[orh mee suah]

Overpopulation! The problems begin to surface. These problems are a warning that Singapore not big enough to accommodate 6m people. The infrastructure has its limit too.
Pls shelve the plan for permanent underground living too. The sea level is rising at an increasing rate.
