The authorities instructed mobile network operators on Thursday (3 November) to turn off signals in the Circle Line (CCL) until 10.30pm amid signal faults experienced in CCL for a second day running.

The announcement comes a day after the Land Transport Authority and CCL operator SMRT said in a joint statement that they are working with the telcos to suspend mobile signals along CCL for a short while to facilitate investigations should similar signal faults recur.

On Wednesday (2 November), commuters travelling on the CCL experienced service disruptions lasting almost three hours due to signal faults.

StarHub said in a Facebook post at 8.46pm on Thursday, “We have been instructed to turn off mobile services in the Circle Line. During this period, you will not be able to make calls, send SMS or access the internet when travelling on Circle Line.”

M1 and SingTel also said mobile services along the CLL will be suspended until 10.30 pm.

SMRT confirmed in a post on Facebook at 9pm that due to ongoing tests, commuters will experience temporary suspension of mobile signals.

Earlier on Thursday evening, SMRT said that due to intermittent signal interference, CCL trains may experience delays. For safety reasons, trains along the line were manned, it added.

SMRT experience is as bad as flying on aeroplanes.
Now you have to turn off your phones on the trains.

It only shows you how pathetic the losers are. All this means it is very easy and cheap to conduct transport terrorism with any electronically transmitting device.

Oh yah, you can still communicate using fire chat

there shouldn't be any interference unless both transit and mobile entities are sharing the "open" 2.4 and 5.8 ghz bands - one for cbtc signaling and the other for wi-fi. 3g and 4g frequencies are exclusively licensed for mobile operators. unless there is 2nd harmonics and or intermod interference in the lossy cables in the tunnels.

Spore is really one big joke.

They already have so many rules & regulations that forbid people from operating transmitters & receivers and yet they suspect an interference problem

Agreed. Rules are useless. Nobody follows one.
