SINGAPORE - Finance executive Ryan Koh, 29, spent nearly three hours in a train after a power trip disrupted service along stretches of three MRT lines on Wednesday .

When The Straits Times spoke to him at around 9pm, he said the majority of people in the train had left after SMRT staff started evacuating commuters at around 8pm. Mr Koh, who received a complimentary train ride voucher for one ride, said he was tired and hungry."I just want to go home as soon as possible."

Mr Leslie Lim, 23, was withdrawing money at an ATM at Boon Lay station when the power fault occurred. He then took a private-hire ride home to Sengkang - a journey that he said cost him $36 instead of the usual $24 due to surge pricing.
