SINGAPORE – Train services on the Punggol LRT line were disrupted by a signalling fault on Sunday (Oct 17) morning.
Rail operator SBS Transit said in a tweet at 12.14pm that even though services had resumed, free regular and bridging buses at affected stations would continue until further notice.
In a subsequent tweet at 12.25pm, it added that bridging buses and free bus rides at designated bus stops had ceased.
The disruption was first announced by SBS Transit in a tweet at 12.02pm.
It apologised to all passengers for the inconvenience caused.
Ms Diantha Chong, 24, a market research associate, was on her way to a fitness class when her train stopped.
“My ride to Punggol MRT station is usually only 10 minutes. They said the delay would only be 15 minutes, but I was stuck on the LRT train for almost an hour and missed my fitness class,” she said.
“There were no clear instructions given during the disruption – it made me pretty upset as my fitness studio charges fees for missing classes,” she added.
The Straits Times has contacted SBS Transit for comment.
