MRT commuters can expect trains to arrive more frequently - especially during off-peak periods, reported The Straits Times. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) yesterday said that operators SMRT and SBS Transit will increase the number of train trips per week by more than 1,000.
On the North-East Line, SBS Transit has added more than 400 train trips a week so that trains arrive every three to five minutes off-peak instead of four to seven minutes.
On the North-South and East-West lines, SMRT will add more than 400 trips a week to reduce off-peak waiting times to less than five minutes by September. Trains are already arriving every five minutes or less at certain off-peak periods.
As for the Circle Line, SMRT will launch another 150 trips a week next month on top of the 200 train trips a week that have been added since 1st January. Trains now arrive every seven minutes during off-peak periods.
