MRT reliability hits another record high in September

TRAIN SERVICE DELIVERY AND PUNCTUALITY

LTA also uses other metrics to measure rail reliability, including train service delivery and train punctuality.

Train service delivery measures how much of the scheduled train mileage was actually operated, while train punctuality measures the percentage of trips completed within two minutes of schedule at the end of a line or turnaround point.

The overall MRT network saw its train service delivery increase in September, up to 99.84 per cent. It was 99.62 per cent in August.

Three of the five MRT lines recorded improvements. The East-West Line was unchanged, while the North East Line declined.

The North-South Line increased to 99.96 per cent, while the Circle Line and Downtown Line went up to 99.79 per cent and 99.60 per cent, respectively.

The East-West Line saw no change in September, remaining at 99.96 per cent. The North East Line dropped to 99.86 per cent from 99.90 per cent.
