Your explanation is clearly agreeable to me. First all, I feel fortunate for the P6 students who are taking Math PSLE exam that day. I am glad no one was late that day. I am so proud of SMRT Team’s efforts in handling the situation well for P6 students, commuters and people traveling to work. Overall, it was a detailed explanation! I appreciate it! 👍
This line is probably the most problematic MRT Line recently. The stations like Serangoon and Bishan are ‘hell’ mostly the peak hours as if they are the SG ‘main’ stations and also the focal point of the line. The stretch between Esplanade and Promenade are also a nightmare to travel due to the loud curves especially towards Dhoby Ghaut.I’m hoping the C851E will debut as soon as possible although they are mainly for Stage 6, but they can help to ease the ‘wars of crowd’ situation during peak hours and reduce waiting times for the line
The biggest mistake and problem is that the Circle Line is seriously under-provisioned with only 3 carriage trains. Once you under-provisioned an MRT line there is nothing much can be done to minimize overcrowding even if the frequency is good. One good example is the NEL, despite being a high capacity line it still struggles to handle the crowd coming from Punggol Sengkang and Hougang even though the frequency is 2 minutes. Once a train is late the crowds build up very fast thus people at Kovan cannot board the Train.
For the NEL, when the Punggol Digital District (another major developement in the North-East) and SIT Campus opens, Punggol Coast station will probably be heavily used as well simliar to Serangoon as more people lives in the region and good thing the NEL is six-car line
4:25 I want to make it clear there are two reasons that Tuen Ma Line operates in this unique way. Tuen Ma Line is formed by the West Rail Line and Ma On Shan Line, and the section where trains head downwards on the right (Tuen Mun) while upwards on the left (Wu Kai Sha) is made to let passengers connect to East Rail Line toward Hung Hom (At that time). When the project to connect the two lines began, it was challenging to switch the direction of the Ma On Shan Line to what West Rail Line uses (Especially for connection), so they just kept the way they originally ran. So if the Tuen Ma Line isn't built in 2004, this is not going to happen
This is almost a similar operation back when they operate the shuttle at night due to a a tunnel section requiring additional maintenance at Nicoll Highway.
There might be other disruptions on the NSL that you might be interested in: - Novena MRT closure due to smoke detected from the motor of an air handling unit in a room at the concourse level, affecting the afternoon and evening peak hour commute. The smoke had the pungent smell of burning rubber! Train service is unaffected but the trains will bypass the station instead. - 25 minutes delay due to a C151B, presumably 647/648, that experienced a train fault which made it unable to move on its own. Due to this, C151C 721/722 had to do a 12-car pull. 721/722 returned back to Bishan Depot after pulling 647/648 into Ang Mo Kio station Platform A, where 647/648 was parked until the end of train service hours on the NSL. Train service is unaffected, but all trains travelling Northbound had to be diverted to the middle platform in order to pick up or drop off commuters.
As a Singaporean and Vietnamese, I really enjoy your videos, your a good MRT, SMRT, LRT, SBS and Bus Transits enthusiasts. I could understand what you say and I could explore more inside Singapore! ❤
there is actually a lot of development around stadium. right across the river is a bunch of condos and the tanjong rhu area. i live across the river around stadium/mountbatten
I really love these videos, it cleary explains everything about the disruption. I'm not from Singapore and I don't know much about trains, so the explanation is quite confusing to me, especially becuase the pace of the video is quite fast. But I could sense you took a lot of time and effort for this video, and because it is ELEVEN minutes! Edit : I have a question. I take a bus that has a frequency of 12/15/20 minutes. Is that slow or fast for buses? It's emptier than other buses in non-rush hours but more crowded than other buses in rush hours. Now I also know why Hanoi's metro is so slow. Construction speed and funds isn't everything, they REALLY care about the safety as well. I don't think a singular disruption happened in it's 2 year history. There's also only one line, so managing the system is easier.
thanks for the compliments! to answer your qn i feel the frequency you mentioned is quite alright, maybe a bit on the more infrequent side for singapore buses but still pretty acceptable imo
Today I took 243G and when I boarded the bus closed its door and the bus driver drove the bus to the traffic light near Gek Poh SC and was stuck there as a truck was trying to make its way to the other junction to deliver staff to build the JRL and was moving back and forward to turn the truck took 10 min.

Love these kind of videos you're making dude. I actually have a list of videos I took inside the train that ran into a fault on 8 July 2022 that I haven't published. Any chance you'll be making a video covering that disruption?
As an American, I thought this was something crazy. But I am relieved it was only just a fault with the tracks and the worst thing that happened was a 30 minute inconvenience. I feel something like this is an everyday thing in most transit systems in America. But I can see how what may not be a big deal in the US could be considered one elsewhere in the world.
IMO LTA should provide better temporary signage, overlaying some of the permanent signage. I bet this will not be the last time this will happen, the paper notice signage are quite inadequate in this case especially when the platform is literally overflowing... and the platform usage is swapped... IMO they can just use a standard disruption yellow background with the final destination ( it would simpler if there's replacement signage based on the TEL standard, just overlay that since that standard also has a "viewpoint" signage from the escalator... eg. : [Yellow temp Signage] (Disruption station shield and name pastie ) [/Yellow temp Signage]
‘sorry bayfront i forgot abt u’ raffles place and city hall: also the tts hates smrt bc it pronounces the name as: ‘A**MRT and what ccl or dtl train would have the right mind to switch lines (there are tracks for ccl to cross to dtl tracks and dtl to cross to ccl tracks)
It’s worth noting that the June service adjustment uses upper track for Promenade and Bayfront station unlike this disruption which uses Lower track. Otherwise, everything else runs in a similar manner.

Tip: You got to use 16-M so that the text-to-speech says as it is, not 16 metres.
yes i know, js forgot to do it
nice video
the display showed it ended at mountbatten when i went there

unfortunately i kinda forgot what happened back then...
@@sbs2828s Cuz you weren't caught in the disruption yourself?
Why was there an R151 that was not boarding but stopped at the station for a while on 15 October 2023 on the EWL
Appreciate the effort you put into making this video
And idk why text to speech detected 16M as 16 metres lol
to my surprise i don't know the reason. i search for the answer but i cant find. it still remains a mystery to me.
1:49
the weekday peak hours, that's something fairly surprising isn't it? Waving goodbye to the FBB
Cool thing
The fault occurred at Promenade (Dhoby Ghaut & Marina Bay direction) Crossover got crack
FBBs are of the same meaning as rail replacement buses.
I just know that down town line got LCD on the door 😂😂😂😂

‘sorry bayfront i forgot abt u’
raffles place and city hall:
also the tts hates smrt bc it pronounces the name as: ‘A**MRT
and what ccl or dtl train would have the right mind to switch lines (there are tracks for ccl to cross to dtl tracks and dtl to cross to ccl tracks)
Bruh this video like some end of year examation tutorial lecture 😭😩 anyways good explanation
hahaha fr
thank you though!
6:24 just realized you caught the DRMD C951
7:30 smrt why??
Because of track fault and other disruptions
Thank god, i nvr touched CCL that day.
Good luck to all P6 students ,as they were taking psle at that day
So many train incidents happening one just happend in Novena... Wow cant wait for a video
im not going to make a vid on that
Oh okay
8:00 shouldn’t the 3rd option be tick???
you're right, sorry for the error

Mmmm yeah bus service 16 metres 💀💀💀

please the 243G that I mentioned is actually super rare it is hard to find so I think you will be mad at me
but I don't know if the 243G was actually an SMRT bus.
Thx for sharing this video. Can't stop watching it❤❤
Edit: bus *16M
*not 16 meters
This happened yesterday
if ccl break down can it be a national emergency
The buses were actually slower

Ah yes 16M = 16 Metres😂
16 metres💀💀
