Incidents[]
An LRT train with 20 passengers crashed into an empty LRT train at Phoenix station on 19 November 2000 after an operations officer failed to do a manual check of the lines before restarting the network system. The impact threw seated and standing passengers to the floor of the train, injuring five of them. The service was disrupted for seven hours but it was restored in stages and was fully functional again by 2.30 pm the same day. Then Communications and Information Technology Minister Yeo Cheow Tong visited the site soon after being told of the accident.
In 2010, an LRT technician, Chia Teck Heng, who was checking the power rail between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang stations, died of injuries sustained after being hit by a train at Phoenix Station.
