SINGAPORE - Ten MRT stations on the East-West Line will have shorter operating hours on weekends next month, as well as full-day closures on two Sundays, rail operator SMRT announced on Friday (Dec 15).
The shorter hours will allow more time for rail maintenance and renewal works to be carried out as well as checks conducted on the new signalling system .
The 10 stations are the eight between Paya Lebar and Pasir Ris, and Expo and Changi Airport.
At these stations, services will stop about an hour early at 11pm every Friday and Saturday, and start at 8am instead of 5.30am every Saturday and Sunday for the month of January.
The stations will also be closed on Jan 21 and Jan 28.
Two shuttle bus services will ply between stations during the times the train is not available.
And the problems will still persist even after that mark my words, because the rot has already eaten all the way to the core. There's no cure, its terminal.
Be thankful they didn't decide to shut it down entirely during this period. It could have been so much worse.
Just in I think:
