[edit] Incidents

On October 21, 2002, the entire Bukit Panjang LRT service was shut down at 6.38 am after a disruption caused by a dislodged train wheel, which led to the power system being crippled between Bukit Panjang and Senja stations. Partial LRT services only resumed at 6.30 pm on October 24, 2002 and full services at 12 pm on October 26, 2002.

For the first time in history of the MRT and LRT, LRT services were free on October 27, 2002 as a way of compensating passengers of the inconvenience.[1]
