    MAJOR train disruptions may "loom large in the public consciousness" now, but improving Singapore's infrastructure is a priority, especially in public transport where commuters should eventually see better reliability, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday.

    He was referring to a tunnel flooding near Bishan station last month and a train collision at Joo Koon last week that left 36 people injured - his first comments on the latest in a series of recent transport woes.
