Platform Screen Doors
Pasir Ris MRT Station was one of the many above ground stations was built in the past with no platform screen doors to prevent commuters from falling into the train tracks. However on 13 August 2009, Pasir Ris MRT Station became the first above ground MRT Station in Singapore to begin installing half height platform screen doors.[1] On 1 November 2009, the platform screen doors are fully completed and started operations.[2]
2012 Train Disruption
Train service at Pasir Ris MRT station was delayed twice during morning peak hours on Mar 8 2012 due to signalling faults on the track near the station.
SMRT said the first delay happened at 7.06am and lasted for about 14 minutes. It said commuters were informed of the delay through announcements and notices at the station, as well as Twitter.
SMRT staff were on-site to rectify the track fault immediately. Some trains were turned around at Tanah Merah and Tampines to maintain westbound service on the unaffected stretch between Tampines and Joo Koon stations.
The fault was fixed at about 7.20am. But it recurred at about 8.20am and was rectified at 8.50am. [3]
