#PSA We are aware of the lengthy queues for buses at Buona Vista, as commuters transfer from an interchange station to the bridging bus services.
To address this issue, we have deployed more buses to cater to the demand. We kindly urge commuters to remain patient and maintain orderliness while waiting for the buses.

#PSA 🚨 No train service between Jurong East and Buona Vista stations tomorrow, 26 Sept 2024.
As there was extensive damage to the tracks, more time is required to do the necessary repairs and replacements. We will also check all first-generation Kawasaki Heavy Industries trains overnight, before they are put into service.

#PSA 🚨 There will be no rail service between Jurong East and Buona Vista stations tomorrow, 27 Sep.
We explored running a shuttle service between these stations to restore partial service. However, as this would slow down track repairs, we will prioritise repairing and restoring full service earlier.
SMRT is aiming to resume normal operations on Monday, 30 Sept 2024.

#PSA There will be no train services from #JurongEast to #BuonaVista stations on Mon, 30 Sep. We are working towards resuming train services on Tue, 1 Oct after thorough testing.
Commuter safety is our topmost priority. After completing the repair and restoration works on 28 Sep, stress and loading tests commenced to ensure safe operations.
12 new cracks that were previously not visible appeared on unreplaced rail segments. These cracks occured due to the rail segments being weakened by the damaged train.
More time is needed to replace the affected rail segments and conduct more stress testing to ensure safety before resuming train services.
We seek commuters’ understanding and patience as our engineers do their best to safely resume service as soon as possible.

#PSA We’ve just launched a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek industry’s proposals on piloting autonomous public bus services.
This RFP will help us assess the technical feasibility and operational requirements for deploying autonomous buses at both individual service and fleet levels! 🚌
The pilot deployment will comprise 6️⃣ autonomous buses on service 400 at Marina Bay/Shenton Way, followed by service 191 at one-north. We are starting with these routes as they are shorter and simpler.
#SafetyFirst During the initial phase, the buses will operate with bus captains onboard as safety operators. ⛑ Thereafter, a remote safety operator can take over the supervisory role.
The RFP is expected to close in Q2 2025 and awarded by end 2025.
From mid-2026, the autonomous buses will operate alongside our existing manned bus services for an initial period of 3 years.

#PSA 🌧️ With a monsoon surge expected later this week from 19-21 Mar, we are stepping up inspections and repairs to keep our roads safe.
During heavy rain, water seeps into tiny cracks in the road. When vehicles drive over these weakened spots, the pressure can cause the road surface to break down faster, forming potholes. 🕳️
