SMRT has been slapped with a maximum fine of S$2 million for the twin breakdowns last December.
Transport regulator, the Land Transport Authority, said the fines -- S$1 million each for the Dec 15 and Dec 17 incidents on the North-South Line -- is the maximum penalty under the Rapid Transit Systems Act.
The LTA said in a press release that SMRT had failed to "exercise due diligence and vigilance expected of a public transport operator, and to maintain its network in good and efficient working condition". Full story
