SMRT fined $1.6 mil for four train disruptions

Rail operators SMRT Corp and SBS Transit will be fined $1.6 million and $50,000 respectively for disruptions on their MRT lines, the Straits Times reported.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it will fine SMRT $400,000 and $900,000 for two safety breaches on the East-West Line in October last year and January this year in which trains passed a red signal light when they should have stopped, thus damaging the track and disrupting service.

SMRT also faces a $200,000 fine for a 40-minute disruption on the North-South Line in January, and another fine of $100,000 for a 50-minute disruption in May.
