MRT train services on the East-West line between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah stations were disrupted on Monday morning.
The disruption was caused by a stalled maintenance work train lying between Tampines and Simei stations.
The train is being towed back manually to the Changi depot.
SMRT is providing bus services to commuters at Pasir Ris, Simei, Tampines and Tanah Merah stations.
Train services are expected to resume after 10am.
Although bus services for affected commuters are free, not everyone was happy with the inconvenience.
Stuck like sardines in a can - that was how one commuter described her experience on the shuttle services deployed by SMRT this morning to alleviate the disruption on the East-West line to AsiaOne.
"It was no fun being stuck in a bus so full of people. Now I finally know how sardines in a can feel like," said Ms Tan, who could not board the train at her usual stop in Pasir Ris.
"I heard that the disruption started since 4am in the morning", Ms Tan added. "I don't know why it can take so long for SMRT to clear the problem.
AsiaOne reader Ms Yeong sent an sms to AsiaOne at 11.37am to say that the train services were still down at Tanah Merah station.
