From Trans Island Bus Services to SMRT Buses

Next big 'R' coming. Fears now in the heart of the staff now. Pity em.Originally posted by BluBlur:I suppose things have gotten worse. The new management has went all the way to cut costs, eliminating unnecessary staff. A driver told me that even those conductors who keep track of bus timings are terminated, leaving the entire timing integrity to the computers. Break times reduced to squeeze bus captains dry. Cleanliness compromised; look at the interior nowadays. Dirt everywhere.
If things go on this way, I rather SMRT Buses merge with SBS Transit.

empirical evidence suggests NO.Originally posted by sbst275:The prob is, are GLC runned properly in the 1st place?
Everyone of us know about it.
Just that the government don't admit the mistake openly, worst still at the expense of the poor commuters. -
So far the spotlight has been on SMRT. What of other GLCs like SingTel? Don't make sweeping statements condemning ALL the GLCs based on one company that runs the subways.Originally posted by phillipC:empirical evidence suggests NO.

Did i say Singtel and GLCs?Originally posted by iveco:So far the spotlight has been on SMRT. What of other GLCs like SingTel? Don't make sweeping statements condemning ALL the GLCs based on one company that runs the subways. -
No choice, what to do. New, younger management will normally sweep the place clean.Originally posted by Manager433:Next big 'R' coming. Fears now in the heart of the staff now. Pity em.
TIBS' former reputation, standards are slowly being shredded into pieces by SMRT. It's a rail operator, and should remain solely so. Its current way of managing bus operations are dismal, at least to me.
SMRT top management, if you're reading this, please wake up and stop sinking your bus subsidiary into worse waters. Alas, I doubt anyone will care.

If I were to tell the truth, tomorrow I'll be called up go drink coffee....follow by apologise about wat I 'wrote' on the internet.....something like the now famous case : ASTAR.
The common people only knows that Tibs didn't won the NEL tender, other information they were not suppose to know.

What we know was what the press reported. It was stated in the newspspers that SBS edged out Tibs for the NEL tender and the latter would merge with SMRT.Originally posted by tranquilice:How would me an outsider knows what happening inside, unlike you.

When 10 may...i'll still remember TIBS

I think that SMRT is more interested in its rail operation. The acqusition of Tibs was to help their MRT system, not integrate them together. Only 2 major changes were made, and neither were routes of any MRT line.

Your statement is true in terms of customer satisfaction. BUT if we are talking about economically, SMRT is doing better. they operate less buses on these buses, frequency longer. More people wait, they get more money.Originally posted by kenny_cai:Services 61, 67 and 190 were doing better when they were controlled by SBST. -
Ya.. But there are always alt, like Sv 170 along Upp Bt Timah Rd to Little India... More money? Unless they have the monopoly of the entire rtOriginally posted by cck_190:Your statement is true in terms of customer satisfaction.
