between Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh. Train service si still available.

Passengers kept complaining on Tweeter:

25MINS MORE?! FUCK U SMrT

— SWEET POTATO PIE DAMI?? (@FlipityFlip) May 14, 2019

@SMRT_Singapore I planned my journey 30 mins earlier. I waited at YCK station waiting for approx 20 mins for you to finally announce what’s happening. Eventually I gotta wait for another 40 mins to get a cab to send my baby to clinic. You made me terribly late. Shitty…

You’re the best @SMRT_Singapore https://t.co/V70vZMasIw

— AJ (@poperbaloon) May 14, 2019

At 11:21am SMRT reduced the additional travel time to 10 minutes:

[NSEWL] Please add 10 mins train travelling time from Ang Mo Kio to Bishan, towards Marina Bay due to track point failure. Free regular bus service between Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh has ceased. Train service is still available.

William commented to SMRT’s tweet that it has inadequate customer relations because there was no update for the last 45 minutes:

Why no update for the last 45 minutes??? Hopelessly inadequate customer relations.

— William #Rejoiner #FBPE #FBSI (@whnlaws) May 14, 2019

Other stressed commuters kept tweeting their complains and disappointment: 

I can never trust SMRT anymore. I have accounted for additional 30mins and look at me, now needing to book Grab
