“I usually travel to Commonwealth for church. This means that my weekend plans have to change, especially now that I need to take the bridging bus to Buona Vista and then continue to Commonwealth,” she added. In addition, 620 ground staff from the Land Transport Authority, SMRT, and transport operators SBS Transit and Tower Transit, as well as police officers, managed the crowds during the morning peak period on Sept 26 and 27.
Ms Li Min travelled for over three hours starting at 8.30am, but was still nowhere near her workplace at 11.35am. She had made the mistake of taking an eastbound train at Queenstown, instead of the shuttle train to Buona Vista. Madam Annie Wong, 77, was rushing in the afternoon on Sept 27 to her medical appointment at the Singapore General Hospital from her home in Boon Lay.
