Khaw sets new reliability target for rail network

Singapore

THE MRT system's reliability has improved by three times since Khaw Boon Wan moved to the Transport Ministry in 2015, but the minister wants to raise the bar much higher.

Speaking at the 4th Joint Forum on Infrastructure Maintenance organised by SMRT on Thursday, the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport said that in 2015 - the year he replaced Lui Tuck Yew at the ministry - Singapore's MRT trains travelled an average of 133,000km between delays of more than five minutes.
