MRT breakdown!
- Thread starter Cestbon
- Start date
Is easy to predict MRT down from the management and the trend of the downtime and frequent breakdown.
There few reason
1. MRT management keep on cutting cost and maximize profit.
2. Older experience worker who know how replace with new worker matter make worse because more FT and new employee just stay for few year.
3. Cutting manpower
4. Overload train put stress on rail and the car
5. Management know nothing or zero knowledge about train operation.
6. So many old train still on track should be scarp replace with new. Old train never proper maintain will damage/miss align the track. Damage track will cause new train also damage.
Many problem if make a list will be more than 30 problem with the SMRT.

One more problem is high staff turnover:

Ha ha............as I predict
SINGAPORE: Commuters on the Circle and East-West Lines took longer than usual to get to their destinations on Sunday.
The Circle Line service was delayed due to a signalling fault, while the delay on the East-West Line was blamed on a power fault.
Train service on the Circle Line resumed at about 3pm, according to SMRT's tweet.
The signalling fault was detected at Caldecott Station at around 12.45pm.
As such, trains plying between Caldecott and Botanic Garden Stations in both directions on the Circle Line had to move slower for some three hours, until service returned to normal at about 4pm.
Trains were also turned around at Tai Seng, Marymount and Farrer Road Stations to maintain normal train frequency along the unaffected stretches on the Circle Line.
SMRT said announcements were made at all Circle Line Stations to inform passengers of the delay in train services.
One commuter, Lynette Lee, felt the delay was very long.
She told Channel NewsAsia that she boarded the train from Paya Lebar to Botanic Gardens at about 12.50pm.
Just before the train arrived at Caldecott Station, it suddenly came to a halt.
She said the train sat in the tunnel for 10 to 15 minutes.
Then it started moving - at jogger's pace - towards the station.
At Caldecott Station, she heard the announcement that there would be a "slight delay" in service.
She said a driver came on board to manually drive the train, and was taking instructions and communicating.
She said the ride between two stations alone - from Caldecott to Botanic Gardens - took about 25 minutes.
Another commuter told Channel NewsAsia that he was at Serangoon station when he heard an announcement that there would be "no train service" between Marymount and Farrer Road stations.
He said he understands that commuters had to get off at Marymount station because the train could not proceed to Farrer Road station.
He said commuters were advised to find alternative transport.
Separately, train service on the East-West Line between Boon Lay and Joo Koon was also delayed Sunday afternoon due to a suspected power fault between the two stations, which was detected at about 12.30pm.
This resulted in an additional two-minute waiting time for commuters on the east-bound service.
At about 2.00 pm, SMRT said the track fault had cleared and services on all lines were operating normally but urged commuters to allow extra time for travel due to wet tracks.
SMRT told Channel NewsAsia that the problem started at about 12.30 pm on Sunday.
At about 1.00 pm, SMRT said east-bound and west-bound services between Boon Lay and Joo Koon Stations were slightly delayed due to a track fault.
Some commuters were asked to alight from one of the trains at Lakeside Station as a precaution.
A commuter said: "I've been staying here for a while. I think it's quite true there have been some delays lately. It's a bit irritating but other than that, it doesn't really affect me that much yet. But it would be good if we really have a smooth transportation system."
Callers to the Channel NewsAsia reported similar delays.
One commuter, Stanley, said he was at City Hall station when he heard the announcement at about 12.40 pm of a delay in service.

Ex-DFS employees knows retailing, that's all. She doesn't care about trains except shops and rental in the MRT vicinity to make more money. She doesn't take the MRT to work, she can hardly care. PR officer came out of nowhere to tell us about retailing biz was good at some selected MRT stations while the 'war' was still on. How comforting to know this ! PAP has sabo all of us for their more good years ahead especially the sissy dragon boy.
Just as I predicted last month.
MRT will breakdown at least 2 time/month. But it worst that what I estimate 3 time in a week(in 4 days) and breakdown time drag longer and longer.
Ok predict the next toto results.
The next word or words you people have to learn after ponding will be, it is not BREAKDOWN!, no, no, no, the CEO is gone, it will be, MRT service is facing a SERVICE DISRUPTION. Normal service will resime soon! ( from 10 mins to a few hous).
SERVICE DISRUPTION, breakdown!, never, nyet!
SERVICE DISRUPTION, breakdown!, never, nyet!
Buy system 7, - 05,07,15,24,27,33,45
any breakdown mrt after-action from sinkies????
So can predict what is the use. The action to demand compensation for all passenger in it will qualified a massive confrontation to MRT. Can sinkies do it????
Anyone can predict will sinkies do that.. that is pretty easy, right?
