MRT network goes 9 months without delay exceeding 30 minutes, longest streak since 2011
The reliability figures exclude the Thomson-East Coast Line, which is still undergoing construction, extension and system integration works, says the Land Transport Authority.
In July, the MRT network in Singapore experienced an impressive nine-month streak without any delays exceeding 30 minutes, marking the longest such period since 2011, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The report, published on August 14, excludes the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), which is still under construction.
LTA's monthly rail reliability report revealed that the overall MKBF (mean kilometres between failures) for the network rose to 2.37 million train-km, up from 2.36 million in June, marking the fourth consecutive month with the figure exceeding 2 million train-km. LTA attributes this progress to the ongoing efforts of transport workers and rail operators aimed at improving reliability and response to faults and incidents.
