Calling the 100-day major disruption-free on the North South Line (NSL) a “success”, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan mischievously misled Singaporeans about the reliability of Singapore’s public railway system.
Minister Khaw cherry-picked the NSL and left out the recent damning report by the Land Transport Authority, which highlighted an increase in train breakdowns. In 2015, there was a total of 14 major MRT train breakdowns, 40% more than 2014’s 10 incidents. For the LRT trains, the number of breakdowns exceeding thirty minutes increased 4-fold to 15 in 2015. The most problematic train system is the Bukit Panjang LRT line, which saw 10 breakdowns in 2015. In summary, there is a train breakdown nearly every 2 weeks in Singapore.
The Malaysia-born Singapore Minister who has never served National Service gave himself a pat on his own shoulder and wax lyrical about success and it being “a game of snakes and ladders”:
“But today’s success does not mean continued success. Any lapse, and we are back to square one, much like a game of snakes and ladders, and the clock is reset.”

The S$1.1 million Transport Minister is also trying to push the blame of train breakdown to railway maintenance staffs by refusing to apologise or comment on issues whenever there is a train breakdown. Minister Khaw Boon Wan is also known to be heavily political in Parliament, often throwing accusations at Opposition MPs without evidence.http://statestimesreview.com/2016/04...l-reliability/ (http://statestimesreview.com/2016/04/20/transport-minister-mislead-singaporeans-about-rail-reliability/)
The average speed of the MRT is 50kmh while the average for plane is 200kmh whether landing or take off.
The frequency between planes landing is one minute while the frequency between trains is 3 minutes during peak hours.
MRTs while in motion without breakdown within 100 days is an achievement.
Planes without breakdown while in motion for the last 100 months is pure magic.
