"Don't go away thinking there are many disruptions of more than 30 minutes, because the numbers are small. But we see an increase in ratio, so we are trying to look at that" Mr Chew said

SMRT service moves bear fruit [Published Asiaone - May 15 2013]

3 Mr Chew Hock Yong, Chief Executive, Land Transport Authority, said "In the short term, LTA worked with SMRT to take some immediate steps to improve rail reliability. These included more intensive profiling of train wheels to minimise vibration, live monitoring of third rail alignment during revenue service, changing the third rail claws at floating slab track areas to the latest model. At the same time, the joint team has also embarked on a major refurbishment and replacement exercise to upgrade and renew the rail network, which includes changing out the wooden sleepers and installing a state-of-the art signalling system. As these measures are progressively rolled outout in the coming years, we hope to see further improvements, so that we can serve commuters better. We are committed to do our best, and we seek the public's continued understand and patience while we carry out the various improvement works."
