A rare breakdown on one of Singapore’s mass rapid transit lines is set to extend into the weekend, making it the longest unplanned train disruption in the city-state known for its efficiency.

Operator SMRT aims to restore full service on Sept. 30, the Land Transport Authority said in a Facebook post on Thursday evening. The disruption, which has affected four stations since Sept. 25, coincided with national examinations for 12-year-olds.
