Should fine them $170,000 and has to be in the exclusion list so that SMRT cannot include penalty in their accounting books to show that they are not making enough profit and ask for fare hike.

Re: Take that, SMRT!
You all don't understand the master plan. This $1700 fine is a well thought out and fair, justified punitive punishment to SMRT. Too little (say $5 penalty) and they won't take it seriously and continue to have breakdowns and delays. Too much (say $1.7 million) and they will report Q3 loss and shareholders will suffer, and fares will end up higher while breakdowns and delays persist. The record $1700 - read it and weep, SMRT - one thousand seven hundred big ones baby - is Goldilocks: just right.
Well done, Lui Bin and gang. I'm so glad you have the commuters' best interests at the heart of every decision you and your bunch of scholars make!

Re: Take that, SMRT!
Because smrt subsidised by gov, so left pocket pay less to right pocket.
In fact they should fine smrt more so that there is no bonuses for smrt, then mgmt will work harder.
I think the train maintenance system total dysfunction. Due to budget constrain by previous CEOs, the maintenance department total became incapable and no experience personnel. I am sure there is a wear and tear period for the trains and rails but they just pushing to the limits and knee jerk. No choice, no maintenance budget. Moreover they now increase frequency and speed of trains, just make things worse.
