Commenting on the recent train disruptions, SMU Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Terence Fan said he does not see any underlying issues, noting that the incidents have different causes, which could randomly happen. He also pointed out that train operators have a limit to the number of resources and time that they have access to the track to fix or replace things. Asst Prof Fan added that with trains operating more often, the number of disruptions could happen more frequently as well.
