we have private sector running trains here in the UK and they seem mostly incompetent
1 comments

trains in singapore themselves are private sector. SMRT is a publically traded company. If their trains keep exhibiting this problem, they run the risk of losing their contract to run the circle line to ComfortDelGro (or possibly an upstart competitor).

Probably the handoff to data.sg was probably done because it doesn't necessarily make sense for them to maintain a separate data science division within the company.
