At 12.20pm today, Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) announced another delay, this time on its North-South Line (NSL) due to a train fault.
On its Twitter account, SMRT said that there will be an additional 30 minutes of travelling time from Yishun to Bishan towards Marina South Pier. However, it noted that the train service is still available.

SMRT then noted that free regular bus services were available from Yishun towards Bishan.

Around 20 minutes after its first tweet, SMRT updated that the fault has cleared and trains are progressively returning to normal speed.

A moment later, it tweeted that train services have resumed and free regular bus services have ceased.

Given the fact that the delay did not occur during peak hours, there were not many complaints posted online.
A Channel News Asia reporter Kenneth Lim, took a picture of commuters who got out from Ang Mo Kio station due to the delay.

Rin, a commuter, asked SMRT, the reason why there was only one gantry opened at Ang Mo Kio for outbound passengers resulting in a long queue.

农历新年将至 预计通关人流逾41万料拥堵

农历新年即将到来,也是很多游子准备回乡庆新年的时候,这意味着新马往返通关料出现大塞车。 移民关卡局今日(15日)发文告表示,自1月17日起至1月28日,可能会陆续出现大塞车的情况,尤其是在1月25日至28日,往返新加坡的交通情况预计会拥堵。 根据移民关卡局指出,预计将会在佳节期间,每日通关人数将高达41万5千人。去年圣诞节前夕,移民关卡局表示,每日通关人数多大47万5千人,亦达到数年来通关人数最高的一次。因此呼吁民众若想透过陆路通关,可能会需要比平常更长的时间通关。 当局也说,在繁忙阶段期间,当局首要任务就是防御任何潜在威胁,因此在期间,也会加强安检,因此可能会出现大批旅客通关时,造成交通堵塞。 当局呼吁入境旅客可以调整行程,以避开人潮。 此外,当局也提醒民众在通关时,确保护照的有效日期,避免因护照过期,或忘了带护照而造成通关延误,对其他出入境者造成不便。 在通关之际,移民关卡局也提醒民众,切勿携带任何违禁物品,包括爆竹和“Pop-Pop”砂炮进入我国。若携带相关受管制商品,应在关卡人员检查前主动申报。 至于当天的驾驶状况,欲要陆路通关者可前往移民关卡局脸书,随时更近最新动态,或通过安装在亚逸拉惹高速公路(AYE)和武吉知马高速公路(BKE)的路况提示系统(EMAS)事先了解关卡情况。
