we actually did it because guinness confirmed the record entry is going through. honestly i never thought they would acknowledge such a massive mess but we shoved it right in their faces. thanks for being part of this ride and stay sharp because we need to watch them closely now.

Petition to Honour SMRT in Guinness Book of Records for Highest No. of Train Delays in a Year
Final supporters
Update @ 1 July 2017:
We have crossed the 1,000 mark in a short space of 2 days showing that clearly SMRT's frequent breakdowns and delays affect many S'poreans who are angry in the face of inaction and lack of accountability on the part of the millionaire PAP minister Khaw Boon Wan and millionaire CEO Desmond Kuek and Lee Ling Wee.
We will start to compile all the breakdowns from 2016 to 2017 and send it to Guinness Book of Records. Meanwhile, keep the signatures coming in! If we hit 5,000, that's when the authorities will sit up and start taking you, the silent suffering commuters, seriously.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Train disruptions and delays have continued unabated and at increasing frequency since 2011, despite the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong apologising and promising to fix the problem during a rally then.
We are only passed the first half of 2017 and already, we have lost count on the number of disruptions which have been happening everyday without fail.
As such, we are petitioning for SMRT to be entered into the Guinness Book of Records for the highest no. of delays and disruptions for a developed Asian country.
Please support this Petition. Together let's keep our world moving!

Very poor management during breakdown. Lack of smrt to assist, and majority of staff are not very well trained. Insufficient bus services available for the mass. Smrt still charging commuters during breakdown when tapping out.
i am extremely affected by the frequent breakdowns, i scrap my car on 2015 as i could not afford a 2nd hand car nor the maintenance, tax or daily charges of a car hence i switch to public transport. to my dismay, i think i rather walk now.
Follow what London tube is doing. Source the maintenance to HK MTR. The entire board of directors in SMRT should resign. The massive savings from their salaries and director fees can be ploughed back to improve the system.
Always breaking down, making me late for work unless i leave the house one hour earlier when the whole journey takes about 30minutes(without breakdown) really smart of SMRT to test new signals during peak hour. Now we all know why there is an "A" missing in SMRT.
Due to poor & lack of maintenance, more train breakdowns are expected... All goes down to dollars & cents, lowest tender for LTA projects gets the job done but look at the repercussions, it's like a chain reaction & it's all messed up...!

My car broke down recently and have to take mrt for awhile. Sadly this is the first time I took the train after so many years, yet out of 10 trips I had, 4 breakdowns. And sometimes the train operator will ask u to alight the train without valid reasons. Very sad indeed.
