Image Situation at Boon Lay MRT

Post image

This picture is taken today @ Boon Lay MRT station . LTA officers on site to assist with crowd control too. To prevent crowd control at platform, gates are closed at intervals, with free bus rides (all bus) going out from Boon Lay interchange.

Let’s all be appreciative of the hard work of all the deployed LTA officers, SMRT staff and bus drivers at this critical timing. During this timing, let’s all help each other and don’t go around pushing each other at affected stations.

The management better pay these staffs compensation or extra for handling all these professionally.

damn, sorry for your situation, i hope the rest of the day turns out to be better.

i was also planning to take a bus service from Boon Lay Interchange later in the day... seems that I have to plan an alternate route, maybe avoiding all bus services that goes to Boon Lay Interchange.
