Khaw outlines strategy to raise rail reliability
Singapore
TRANSPORT Minister Khaw Boon Wan has made a reliable rail network central to his vision of Singapore transport in 2030.
Saying there have been "some improvements" in the area of train breakdowns in the six months since he took the transport portfolio, he noted that last year, trains on the MRT network travelled an average of 133,000 train-km between delays of more than five minutes - or "mean kilometre before failure" (MKBF), a common reliability measure widely used globally.
