SIT student details NEL disruption experience & ‘novelty’ of evacuating onto tracks

22-year-old Daryl Teo was watching a video on improving transit systems’ reliability when the North East Line (NEL) disruption occurred on Tuesday (12 Aug).

The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) student told MS News that he was taking the train towards Punggol Coast at the time.

Interestingly, Mr Teo said he was also thinking about a Reddit post claiming SBS Transit’s train services had been more reliable than those of SMRT.
