A power fault has disrupted LRT service on the Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) early Wednesday morning. Commuters should expect a half-hour delay, said SMRT.
The operator also provided free regular bus and bridging bus services. Service resumed at 6.40am, but with only six trains - half the usual number at the morning peak time, said SMRT in an update on its Facebook page.
In a tweet posted at 6.54am, SMRT said commuters should expect longer travelling time after ‘degraded service’.
