Fun Fact About Singapore MRT
Missing Staition Codes
The numbers on the MRT system map do not actually always run in sequential order. Before Canberra station was announced, there was a missing NS12 on the system map.
Trains on the North-South & East-West Lines are Semi-Automatic
During a trip under normal conditions, the train captain in the cabin does not need to operate the train. They are only required to press a set of buttons which will activate the train’s computer system to run the train based on the signalling system on the track. On top of that, they will control the opening and closing of the train doors and visually inspect the tracks for any obstruction.
The new signalling however, trains on the North-South Line are now fully automatic. The train captains do not even need to manually open or close the doors! All these are done automatically according to the timetable with the new signalling system. The East-West Line will soon also be fully automatic once Re-signalling works are complete and the system on the North-South Line stabilises.
SNAP and REPORT! (SMRT SNAP-REP)
Did you know? You can snap and report a fault on WhatsApp!
SMRT SNAP-REP (Short for Snap and Report) is a new technical defect reporting channel launched by operator SMRT as part of a trial to provide commuters with a fast and easy way of reporting any technical defect they come across while travelling on the SMRT network (North-South, East-West, Circle Line & Bukit Panjang LRT).
Commuters simply need to snap photos of the defects with their mobile devices and send them using WhatsApp to +65 9788-4398 with details such as the train car number, date, time, location, and a short description of the defect. We advise commuters to use the feedback channel responsibly. Do also give some time to allow the operator to rectify the defects reported.
