SINGAPORE: Train services on the Punggol LRT are not available on Saturday morning (Sep 13) due to a “systems fault”, said SBS Transit.
The transport operator posted a Facebook alert on the disruption at about 5.15am.
“Free regular and bridging bus rides are available at the Punggol Bus Interchange and designated stops near affected stations,” it added in a subsequent post.
SBS Transit also advised commuters to look up alternative transport options on its app, or on the Land Transport Authority’s MyTransport app via the Find My Way tab.
This is the latest disruption in recent weeks.
On Aug 15, train services on the Sengkang-Punggol LRT were disrupted for about four hours due to a power fault, affecting all 29 stations on the network.
On Aug 12, a power fault also caused a five-hour disruption to the Sengkang-Punggol LRT, as well as the North East Line which it connects to.
SBS Transit Group CEO Jeffrey Sim said after the Aug 12 incident that the hours-long disruption was triggered by a trip in the main and backup power supply at a depot substation.
