Services resume after signalling fault disrupts Punggol LRT services
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. Punggol LRT services have resumed since 12.04pm. Free regular and bridging bus services have ceased. We are very sorry. https://t....
