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.

网红调侃新公路收费系统定位功能 “去工作、去找小三 政府都知道”

新一代无闸门公路电子收费系统(ERP)預計将在明年(2020)启用,但与目前系统有别,新系统内装全球卫星导航系统(GNSS),届时将依据驾驶者在拥挤路段行驶的路程收费。 陆路交通局此前表示,为确保新旧系统顺利衔接,自2020 年起,将分批更换驾驶者的阅卡器,装置新的行车器(OBU)。 虽然目前仍在测试新系统器材,细节未定,不过已有不少网民关注,新系统可利用GPS定位功能,对于普罗大众影响深远,也有者形容未来开车去哪都无所遁形,以中国的智能人脸识别系统为例,几乎大部分在路上车辆的行踪,政府或执法机构都能了如指掌。 对于政府将在明年落实新的ERP系统,网红“金发(Kim Huat)”(李健敏)也有话说,他录制一段视频,以诙谐方式对新系统调侃一番。 他先是自称新加坡“头号收费闸粉丝”,指新系统未来即使不用收费闸都可向驾驶者收费。不过,也会依据驾驶者的行驶距离收费。 “嘿,你知道什么车是依据路程收费的吗?德士。所以比如你开马赛地,也是政府“德士”;开捷豹,也是“德士”;开宝马,也是“德士”。” 他说,这就行同开着自己的车,却要计程付费给政府。 “金发”接着说,不论你开车去哪,比如去工作、去买菜,甚至去找小三,政府都可以追踪得到。 定位功能也有好处? 不过,他想到或许新系统落实也有好处?“那些劫匪怎么可能在新加坡抢银行?”…
