I want to be the CEO of SBS and SMRT!
-
When SBS earns less, just ask for fare increase!Similarly when SMRT earns less, just ask for fare increase!It is as just as simple as learning ABC!
-
Learning ABC still is abit hard for those retarded SBS n SMRT CEOs,it should be as easy as learning "123".
-
Might as well be CEO of KMB...

You people weap about the public transport and money going to the government ..... try living in europe, tax here is one of the lowest in the world and transport fees are the lowest so you can really complain about nothing

Yah.. But cost of living there is fatastic. Tax lowest? What is the tax rate there?Originally posted by iamsuper:You people weap about the public transport and money going to the government ..... try living in europe, tax here is one of the lowest in the world and transport fees are the lowest so you can really complain about nothing -
No matter how...
The wages is close to = to the cost of living (Excl other variable like oil prices). You ask for higher wages, cost of living is high as basic wages are high as well... Now oil price high, so cost of living even higher -

But u must take in consideration of how much those Europeans earn per month,and how much we earn per month.If u only compare the price n tax alone,u will be misled.Originally posted by iamsuper:You people weap about the public transport and money going to the government ..... try living in europe, tax here is one of the lowest in the world and transport fees are the lowest so you can really complain about nothing -

Yes. But cars are cheap in canada, standard of living is idyllic, land and houses are plentiful. And there's real democracy.
So what do we have? Trains crammed to the hilt in the morning and evening...On top of that, we have to pay $5 for a card we are forced to buy...We are forced to put up with irregular bus schedules and a fvcking bus company that drags its feet when it comes to service improvement -
A TRANSPORT COMPANY THAT HIDES BEHIND THE SKIRT OF A SISSY PTC TO RAISE FARES FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY "FVCK OFF". -
the main difference between our govt and others is their abillity to take money from its people.
frankly i am 'impressed'. -
Your disappointment not withstanding, Canada has cheap cars, but their gas costs a bomb. Idyllic SOL? I dun think so. Just take a look at their income and gst taxes and you might have a different opinion. Also, their people have difficulty qualifying for rebates as well.Originally posted by Profounder:

The problem of crammed trains is a global issue, not just in Singapore. SMRT can improve the situation by extending the platforms to accomodate another carriage. (6 increase to 7 carriages) But again that will simply alleviate the problem, not solve it. Face it, rush hour is rush hour.
And the $5/- card (ezlink i presume) was not forced upon you. You can of course pay cash everytime, not as convenient i imagine though.
I do agree though that to meet the target of a 'world class transportation' system which our transport minister has harped on so may times, drivers need to meet their schedules (better yet develop a real time system for evey bus stop so commuters actually know the impending arrival of each bus or their ETA enroute). -
Ya.. But, the tax there is high all because of welfare societyOriginally posted by Profounder:

Train crammped? You go see HK there
Irregular bus svs??? It is all thks to regular car drivers too, using the bus lanes during peak hrs clogging up the lane and delaying bus arrival. Also, are you sure the bus is really overloaded? Many passengers just dun want to move in, making the bus stay at bus stop for minutes. In HK, the passengers just move it w/o being told. And you have never seen many services that mainly uses NAC buses that are carrying 100 passengers when only 85 are allowed. For such cases, it is all thks to SBS's mismanagement. But, it takes 2 hands to make a clap
Sissy PTC??? Hello, even private bus operator running supplementary public bus routes are also asking for a 10c fare hike. -
Monopoly?Originally posted by SolarSnow: soo saddd they spend money and public pays monopoly wat 2 do? public always pays
You want those days bef 1973 when there are many bus co but only serving the profitable bus rts and end up clogging up the roads? -

Now, are we arguing about taxation rate here? I'm confused. But I guess you are just like SBS, ALWAYS TRYING TO OBFUSCATE THE ISSUE.
Are you scrambling for the dictionary now to look up the word "obfuscate"?
Train crammped? You go see HK there
Now now...let's see, the usual tactic of SBS and PAP and of course their cronies... When they want to shove something bad down Singpaorean's throat, they cite a worse situation elsewhere, whether it's true or not.
And well, when we fall short, jokers like you will hide your head in the sand and refuse to acknowledge the fact. Hello, have you heard of Octupus?

You said it. PRIVATE OPERATOR = choice = can choose not to take.
Singaporeans are held captive by SBS and are caught between a rock and a hard place. Do they have a choice??
Now are you scrambling your dictionary to find the meaning of "hard and a rock place"? -

No, i'll want the useless nitwits at SBS to clog up the roads. -

You never see ppl dun wanna move to the 2nd carriage of the bendy bus or into the last 2 seats standing area of single decks...
Anyway... There is a licensed capacity... Most cases there is NO OVERLOADING, you go and count. It is all selfish ppl that try to be funny... -
That's why soon later, most bus lanes will be for full day operation to prevent cars from using bus lanes and clogging them up

In the first place SMRT and SBS are not losing money, they just earn a little less than last year. Earning more or a little bit less is part of the business cycle which every normal and healthy listed company will face, so what are the big deals when they earn a little less than last year? Who are they trying to impress even if the company earn much more? Is'nt it their own pocket which are their main concern but how many millions more poor Singaporeans suffer because of their greeds?
Mr. Sim Wong Woo could turn around his Creative from huge losses by new innovative products and creative cost cutting methods to save costs and enhance profit. What have our transport company done into this direction?
ComfortDelgro has made huge profit in Singapore but splash it in the loss making companies in China. So far how many cents they have made in their venture in China? They just follow the blinds in venturing into China, invest for the sake of investment and now they are trying to recoup the losses and pass the burden to the poor Singaporeans who are trying to keep their heads above water esp in this kind of harsh economic climate!
