and SMRT manage to pull out 40 buses to do the shuttles... so what services are affected? SMRT have been pulling buses to do free shuttles for so many times after CNY..... so wonder in the future, if the bus packages are awarded to other operators, what will happen during MRT/LRT breakdown?
free service ? i think it a waste of tax payers money. the longer the LRT down the longer smrt waste tax payers money. trunk service should not be free as smrt will take money from LTA for compensation. also this LRT downing time is too long. why there is no backup plan for the LRT line? power supply get burn whole system down is very bad for a public transport system.
When the power supply is burnt the backup is....? Your legs?
And how is free service a waste of taxpayer money? Because of Temasek left-right-up-down pocket logic?
SMRT take money from LTA follow same logic above?
Wa. I think its probably fortunate that LTA people treat such cases of logical fallacies as "siao gao bui" (mad dog barking).
SMB1570A on 307 had free ride only at Opp CCK MRT bus stop
But SMB56A on 172 did not have free ride at CCK INT...need to tap card...

LTA when build the system should have backup plan like extra power supply or in this case a switch to by pass the circuit breaker which just install to the system. waste tax payer money is first this LRT system is not very cost effective alot of down time and those shuttle bus service is faster than LRT. in this case why bulid this LRT system? second nothing is free with free service until 12moon today SMRT lost money so is LTA and GOV and tax payers. lost in electricity, lost in bus operation as other service might need bus but in use for this problem. wasting people time.

ya lo..maybe BC was not being informed...i remember that day when MRT was down between Kranji and YewTee (The very first incident that happened at CCK), for service 307, buses like SMB1586E and SMB3117M had free rides on whole 307 route but SMB1538U and SMB1575L need to pay even at affected bus stops (YewTee MRT)
