SMRT has scrapped a controversial three-month trial on MRT station announcements in Mandarin.
In a statement obtained by Yahoo! Singapore on Sunday, an SMRT spokesperson said it had started the trial after receiving considerable public feedback that the train operator should announce station names in Mandarin to assist passengers, especially older commuters, who rely on announcements during their journey.
It started the trial with in-train Mandarin announcements of the station names on some trains on North-South East-West lines from the first week of October. Full story
