Five breakdowns since black Friday dragging S'pore's reputation down

Published on Apr 20, 2012

FIVE train service disruptions since black Friday the 13th last week have not only left commuters in the lurch repeatedly, they have also called into question Singapore's reputation for efficiency, reliability and convenience.

A country that prides itself on a world-class transport system should not be subjecting its commuters to a disruption virtually every other day.

If increased ridership and frequency are to blame, this boils down to poor strategic planning by the management. I hope the transport operators solve this problem as soon as possible.
