"Can we have it for SMRT too?
"Good idea, spotted at Toa Payoh bus interchange."
According to an article in the Straits Times, the new alert service is available for free to all iPhone users through the iris mobile app push notification, and to all mobile phone users through the SMS alert service.
The service will provide subscribers with information such as the affected stations, availability of shuttle services, and the resumption of services. To sign up for free SMS alerts, commuters will have to key in 'NEL' and send it to 73535 from their mobile phones. Alternatively, they can also log on to the website www.sbstransit.com.sg to register.
They will receive an SMS acknowledgement to confirm that their requests have been successfully activated. To unsubscribe to this service anytime, they can send 'UNSUB NEL' to 73535.
For iPhone users who have downloaded the iris app, an alert will be sent out if there is a train delay or disruption lasting 15min or more. Users need to activate the push notification function on their mobile phones to get the alerts.
.....XLOL!!! If you can pass your exams 'fault free' or if your work is 'fault free' for 10years, then you may expect others to be fault free!
btw, calling others "u damn stupid lah!" is already not 'fault free', have you any idea what is world class transportation?
... xlol! You've livened up my day! Cheers!!!
Hello, please wake up, there is no 100% fault free.. no one will ever promise you that.. At least you are informed timely, and could make your important arrangement plan should you have any. I was wondering, why is the alert only available for NEL.. what about the rest of the line?
