SMRT FAIL: Commuters forced to break window for ventilation after train broke down underground

Picture via existentialsoup on Twitter:

After the Circle Line breakdown during rush hours yesterday morning, SMRT failed Singapore again with a seemingly even more severe North-South line breakdown this evening, again during rush hours.

Here’s compilation of some of the best Twitter updates on #smrtruinslives over the past few hours:

@joeljoshuagoh: Yes, commuters stuck in the trains really are being forced to break the windows for ventilation: http://yfrog.com/nu5z99j

@rotoira: We dont even need terrorists to cause widespread chaos. We have SMRT.

@ah_ting_ah: People run from village to school everyday for 2 hours. We need to learn from them

@jacksng: 越想越氣！爛透了SMRT！乘客都缺氧破窗了，反省反省吧！

@danielweijie: Circle Line yest n North South Line today, Singapore Pools now accepting bets for East West Line to fail tmr.

Also, do check out this epic picture my colleague, Bill Loh took in a cab while on his way home today:

Now you know why Comfort Delgro and all the taxi companies were not afraid of falling revenues when they raise their fares a week ago. They just have to wait for opportunities like this when SMRT fail (TWICE, within a week right after the fare hike).
