"....However, the direct service from Boon Lay to Changi Airport will remain suspended until further notice, said Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) in a statement yesterday.

The eight trains, whose gearboxes have been fixed, are among 21 faulty trains taken off the tracks two weeks ago.

Since then, airport-bound passengers have had to alight at Tanah Merah and transfer onto a shuttle service that departs every 12 minutes."

"FROM today, MRT commuters can ride directly from Boon Lay to Changi Airport, without having to transfer at Tanah Merah.

This is because 15 of the 21 trains pulled out of service more than three weeks ago have been repaired, said Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) yesterday in a statement."
