MRT network logs third month of high reliability, no major delays since November

Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network demonstrated sustained high reliability in June, achieving a Mean Kilometres Between Failure (MKBF) exceeding 2 million train-kilometers for the third month running. This metric, which measures the average distance a train travels before a delay of over five minutes, highlights the system's improved performance.

Furthermore, the MRT network recorded no delays lasting longer than 30 minutes in June, excluding the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). This extends a remarkable streak of eight months without significant disruptions since November 2025, the longest period since the Land Transport Authority (LTA) began tracking this statistic in 2011.

The Land Transport Authority attributed these positive results to the "sustained effort and dedication from our transport workers and rail operators to uplift reliability and improve their response to faults and incidents." The figures also reflect the impact of recommendations made by the Rail Reliability Taskforce in February 2026. Mature lines, including the North-South Line and Circle Line, also showed improved MKBF figures, indicating a system-wide enhancement in operational efficiency and resilience.

Our high MKBF levels over the last three months are a reflection of the sustained effort and dedication from our transport workers and rail operators to uplift reliability and improve their response to faults and incidents.
