On the morning of Wednesday (September 25), a row of subway trains failed near Jinwentai Station. On the way back to the factory, a subway shaft box fell off and broke the equipment on the track.Many days, Tuesday (October 1) finally returned to normal.This failure exposes the potential problems brought by the aging equipment of the Singapore subway system. It also triggers a widespread discussion on the maintenance and emergency treatment mechanism of public transportation systems. Various problems are worthy of our in -depth thinking.
The cause of the accident is the aging subway train equipment.The first -generation train of Kawasaki Heavy Industry, which has been in trouble for 35 years, has ordered a new batch of new trains in 2018. The goal is to complete the update before the end of 2026.Although the old train has been gradually eliminated, the entire process needs to be completed. During the period, the big failure indicates that the subway company must be in place in this transition period.Essence
After the accident, the subway company started the response plan in accordance with the standard procedures for the interruption of the past subway service, but because the situation was serious than expected, even if the connection buses were gradually in place, the affected subway station was still confused on the first dayIt can be seen that the subway company still has room for improvement in starting crisis processing procedures.Fortunately, on the next day, the chaotic scenes greatly reduced. On the first day of the small six -departure school association on the day, there were not many messy people.There are also staff of the subway company let candidates take the priority to take the connection buses.
Although the interruption of service has caused public complaints, the subway company would rather take more time to repair it to ensure that all hidden dangers are eliminated, and they are unwilling to restore the traffic.Paralysis is small again, and the consequences of danger can be serious.In order to ensure the safety of passengers, after the train recovery service, the new rails are slowed down between Duver Station and Jurong East Station. Although the commuting time is increased, this is a responsible decision.
During the six -day repair process, the engineering and technical team fought to repair the line day and night, and the ground staff also insisted on their posts to conduct traffic in the scorching sun and rain. Many public expressed their gratitude to these silently dedicated work teams and reflected the society’s society’s.Unity and mutual understanding are a bright color in the accident.If an employer starts the flexible mechanism spontaneously in these days and allows affected employees to work at home, it will not only provide convenience for employees, but also reduce the load of the bus system during this period.
After absorbing serious accident experience in the past, Metro Corporation and Land Communications Bureau formulated a more comprehensive treatment plan in this incident.During the period, they promptly issued a statement through various media and continued to update the maintenance of the maintenance. By communicating in a timely manner, the public's confidence in the maintenance process was enhanced.In addition, the Singapore Examination and Evaluation Bureau also responded in a timely manner, indicating that if the candidates are late due to the subway failure, as long as they arrive at the examination room before the end of the exam, they will still get the original time limit to complete the answer, showing the collaboration between the public sectors, which improves the public's pair of public affairsThe government's sense of trust in crisis.
Minister of Transport Xu Fangda apologized for the fault of the subway, showing the government's responsibility for the accident.Sub -remedy is a necessary step to maintain public trust.Metro service is an important part of our daily life. Its stability and reliability directly affect the public's daily life and national image. If the accident occurs in a business area or tourist area, it will definitely damage the image of Singapore.Although the fault on the surface seems to only affect the western residents, in fact, it is also involved in residents in other regions. Many passengers from the West have transferred to the North and South Line, so that the South -South Line is more crowded.
In the past few years, the refurbishment and improvement of the project in the subway system has been costly, and this time the accident caused by the old train will become the focus of public opinion. The government must investigate in depth anyway.Similar situations occur again.The problem of old subway equipment must be solved. Metro companies are responsible for ensuring that all running trains are suitable for driving, no matter how old they are.
