The embattled skytrain operator cannot tweet, too.

After several train malfunctions that angered commuters, the Bangkok Mass Transit System said on Wednesday night that its @BTS_SkyTrain Twitter account had also stopped working.

"The @BTS_SkyTrain Twitter account has a technical problem. It is under repair," the operator said.

The BTS promised that its signalling problem has been fixed, after a week of leaving passengers stranded in trains and stations.

On Wednesday morning, two trains broke down.
