Commuters furious as CCL experience delay in train service for 4 days in a row

At around 5.30 am today (1 September) SMRT tweeted that due to intermittent signalling issue, commuters would need additional travel time on Circle Line (CCL). This time it did not mention how long it would be and it does not say whether there was any free shuttle bus available.

[CCL] Due to intermittent signalling issue, please
cater for additional travel time on the CCL today.

— SMRT Corporation (@SMRT_Singapore) August 31, 2016

About 15 minutes later, it tweeted the same thing.

[CCL] Due to intermittent signalling issues, train may have longer dwell times at stations. Pls cater for longer travel time.

— SMRT Corporation (@SMRT_Singapore) August 31, 2016

When a train loses communication, it applies emergency braking as a safety precaution. This has caused journeys to be not only longer, but also jerkier.

SMRT has earlier warned standing commuters to hold on to handrails. Going by the slew of public tweets, some trains may also be bypassing stations.

@SMRT_Singapore wants to play with passengers.go forward then reverse , pass the station and reverse. Lol #circleLine

Commuters were furious as this is the fourth day in a row. The first one occured on 29 August due to intermittent signalling issue, and the same happened on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Transport Minister, Khaw Boon Wan has kept silent over the past few days over the service disruption on Circle Line.
