SINGAPORE : Some 630 passengers had to alight from an MRT train at Bugis station on Friday at about 3.30pm when smoke started coming out from one of the cabins.
SMRT said the smoke could have been due to a gas leak from an air conditioner and posed no danger.
The faulty train has been taken out of service.
Passengers were delayed for about six minutes in their journey as they had to wait for the next train.

check my rides in the rides thread..
aircon leaks smells cool and fresh but they said aircon leaks smells burnt...so its not aircon leaks!!!i would say its a switchboard or wiring problem fault.well..theres fire extinguisher so i suppose even a bbq is n0 big deal...its the smoke that kills .
remember to crawl on floor as thats the only place thats safe as smoke effects are poor on floor.learnt it from tv .
Okay la, actually, my mum's office once, the ceiling lights started pouring out acrid smoke. Smelled awful. Choking.
Don't think this is anywhere near as bad.
