The track fault occurred at about 5am at Jurong East MRT Station, forcing the trains to slow down to a speed of 5kmh as a safety precaution.
Commuters were advised to add up to 30 minutes of additional train travel time to their commute and look for alternative routes while engineers worked on rectifying the fault. Free regular bus and bridging bus services were provided for commuters between Clementi and Boon Lay MRT stations.SMRT wrote in a Facebook post that the track point fault required the staff to physically check, troubleshoot and remedy the faulty point machine, which controls train movements at rail junctions when trains switch tracks.
Commuters commenting on the post shared how they were late for school or work and one suggested that in-station announcements be made in the four main languages. Netizen Cookie Amos requested for a "refund those who tapped at Jurong East MRT station, unaware of the train fault and charged $1.08 when they exited the station".
