SINGAPORE \u2013 A system that displays the expected arrival times of public buses resumed operating after it was disrupted for about 95 minutes on the morning of July 14.<\/p>\n
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced \u201ctechnical issues\u201d in displaying bus arrival timings in a notification on journey planning app MyTransport.SG at 6.15am on July 14. It added that bus services were operating normally.<\/p>\n
Checks on the MyTransport.SG app by The Straits Times found that no bus timings were available as at 6.40am.<\/p>\n
Another transport planning app Singabus, however, showed regular bus timings.<\/p>\n
At around 8.10am, regular bus timings were available again on MyTransport.SG. An announcement on the app said that the system was fully restored as at 7.50am.<\/p>\n An alert on the MyTransport informing commuters of the issue.<\/p>\n PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM MYTRANSPORT<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The bus arrival timing system had also faced issues on June 12 when it was disrupted for over four hours.<\/p>\n The bus arrival timing system experienced technical issues in January<\/span><\/a>, causing inaccurate bus timings and long wait times to be displayed at bus stops and in apps.<\/p>\n LTA had initiated a reset of the system on Jan 21<\/span><\/a>, which resulted in bus stop displays and apps being unable to show any information on bus timings.<\/p>\n The cause of the disruption was a software defect on the buses that was triggered by a server failure, and the system was fully restored on Feb 12.<\/p>\n ST has contacted LTA for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 A system that displays the expected arrival times of public buses resumed operating after it was disrupted for about 95 minutes on the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/68538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/picture><\/div>
