Deserted Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 They will extend the no-fare period I suspect. They will want to improve the trains image again after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Daley Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Yeah I drove past that the day it happened. Total bedlam. 5km of track fell off the thing and went onto the live street cables just missing the condos. A lot of Myanmar called in to fix it. Looks like some of them had been working overtime.
