The "trillion-dollar train" just started running and got "stuck", netizens are confused, what's going on?

Metro Line 1 has just officially come into operation and has received attention from the people. However, in just two days, December 26 and 27, the metro line has encountered two consecutive incidents, raising concerns about the stability and safety of the system.

On the evening of December 27, the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse with heavy rain and thunderstorms, causing a disruption in the metro line. The electrical safety protection system, designed to protect passengers and equipment, was automatically activated, resulting in the temporary suspension of train operations.

According to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Management Board (MAUR) and Urban Railway Company No. 1, the incident occurred at around 7 p.m., when the trains were moving. The severe weather conditions caused the electrical safety system to automatically cut off the circuit, a necessary measure to prevent the risk of an incident.

The trains were immediately brought back to the stations for technical inspection. While waiting, passengers at the stations were inevitably worried. However, thanks to the dedicated support of the staff, everyone patiently waited for the trains to resume operation. Some passengers also shared that this incident did not affect their schedules too much, although it caused a little inconvenience for a short time.

It is worth mentioning that just one day before, on December 26, Metro Line 1 also encountered another incident at Ba Son Station, this time due to a signal system problem. This incident caused some trains to temporarily stop operating for more than 10 minutes, causing some disruption to the service.

According to Mr. Phan Cong Bang, Head of MAUR Management Board, the cause of the incident was due to a technical problem related to the signal system, and was not due to any fault of the operators or passengers. A team of technicians was immediately dispatched to check and fix the problem.

Train operations returned to normal within a short time. Although the incident was brief and did not cause serious consequences, it did raise concerns about the stability of the metro line, especially in the early stages of operation.

These two consecutive incidents, although not too serious, have raised questions about the stability of Metro Line 1, especially when the project has received a lot of expectations from the people. The incident on December 27, due to objective factors such as bad weather, raised questions about the system's ability to respond to extreme weather situations. Although activating the safety protection system is necessary to ensure passenger safety, re-evaluating the sensitivity of the system is necessary to minimize the situation of temporary suspension of operations during stormy days.

On the other hand, the December 26 incident involving the signalling system shows that a thorough technical review is needed. It is understandable that technical problems occur in the early stages of operation, but preventing a recurrence and ensuring the long-term stability of the metro line is of utmost importance.

Since officially coming into operation on December 22, Metro Line 1 has transported nearly 500,000 passengers in the first 5 days. The operator also said that it will continue to closely monitor the operation of Metro Line 1 and listen to feedback from the people to improve service quality.

Metro Line 1 plays an important role in improving the public transport system in Ho Chi Minh City and is receiving great expectations. To maintain and strengthen the trust of the people, the authorities need to take timely and effective measures to ensure the safety and stability of the metro line during its operation.
