Train service across the entire Bukit Panjang LRT line came to a halt on the morning of July 3 due to a power fault.
In a Facebook update at about 9.13am, transport operator SMRT notified commuters about the fault spanning all 13 stations that happened at around 8.50am. It said that free regular or bridging buses are available outside the stations.
In an update about five minutes later, SMRT said that its staff are on site working to resolve the issue and are assisting affected commuters.
"Train services are currently unavailable across the entire BPLRT system. In-train and station announcements have been made to keep commuters informed," SMRT said.
"We apologise for the disruption to your journey and appreciate your patience", it added.
