Increase of cost to SBS, SJE and SMRT?
-
With the possible RM20 fee imposed onto SG reg vehicles upon entry into Malaysia, it might hit hard on the public transport operators
If this happens, SG govt should impose the same on HI -
If SBST increase the fares, then more people will jump to Malaysian registered buses like Causeway Link instead.Originally posted by sbst275:With the possible RM20 fee imposed onto SG reg vehicles upon entry into Malaysia, it might hit hard on the public transport operators

That's why SG govt should do somethingOriginally posted by SBS9889U:If SBST increase the fares, then more people will jump to Malaysian registered buses like Causeway Link instead.
HI should not be given any advantage, dun forget they wanted to raise fares on their own last yr -
1 day on a average 8 trips, it would cost SBS RM160 more a day per bus
It would mean RM58,400 per calender year per bus. Can buy 1/2 a bunglow in Malaysia already! -
Heyheyhey, whatever the case, we lose.

hahaha. and seriously i like to take causeway link buses because the aircon is much more stronger.....

I guarantee you that S'pore would not charge Malaysia...Originally posted by alex_cai92:public bus affected meh...i tot always public bus haf special privilleges...like no ERP... -
Dun laugh. Since when SBS buses pump their subsidised diesel? So just because SBS, SJE, SMRT buses are SG registered, so that means they can anyhow come and possibly charge that RM20 per entry? We dun even charge their cars when entering Singapore on Weekend! And they dare to say we charge RM45 on their cars upon entry!Originally posted by XTransbus:hahaha. and seriously i like to take causeway link buses because the aircon is much more stronger.....
Their HI drivers hardly take care when travelling along the congested Causeway
Even on Linekua, the buses travels on the right lane

SBS, SMRT, SJE buses have to pay ERP in the 1st placeOriginally posted by alex_cai92:public bus affected meh...i tot always public bus haf special privilleges...like no ERP...
But the road tax payable to JPJ is cheap, for SBS is abt RM30 compared to abt S$1000 in SG -
if u read carefully the newspaper, they only mentioned SG registers CARS, not all SG register vehicles...Originally posted by sbst275:With the possible RM20 fee imposed onto SG reg vehicles upon entry into Malaysia, it might hit hard on the public transport operators

Which one did you read? ST said all SG registered vehiclesOriginally posted by lemon1974:if u read carefully the newspaper, they only mentioned SG registers CARS, not all SG register vehicles...
In chinese "cher liang" means vehicles -
or ur infor, if i am not wrong, SBS 170&160 SMRT 950 have "special" type of buses, which means SBS SMRT have buses specially for these routes dat pays road taxes for malaysian roads.....next time if u happen travel on 170 160 or 950, look out for malaysia road tax sticker dat are displayed in front of the bus.....hence i concluded dat these cross boundary buses do not nid to pay the extra RM20 charges............

At the current stage, what they want to implement is all SG reg cars on grounds that we go pump their subisidised petrol -
it is likely that the public omni-bus services serving the causeway routes do not need to pay the additional RM20 entry fee. the purpose of the fee is clear, and it is likely to affect singapore-registered petrol cars only.
anyway, nobody seems to have highlighted the fact that they're still mulling over it. the actual guidelines are not out yet, and we won't know which group of vehicles will be affected.
for now, just wait for more news from malaysia. -
want to know, see if got the 'small rectangular green sticker with a circle on it' and thre's a Larkin Bus terminal entry pass. and all of the SBS buses entering malaysia got extra tail lights.Originally posted by hiphop2009:or ur infor, if i am not wrong, SBS 170&160 SMRT 950 have "special" type of buses, which means SBS SMRT have buses specially for these routes dat pays road taxes for malaysian roads.....next time if u happen travel on 170 160 or 950, look out for malaysia road tax sticker dat are displayed in front of the bus.....hence i concluded dat these cross boundary buses do not nid to pay the extra RM20 charges............ -

Likely they are going to introduce GST in 2008... Looks like that hong jui cycle really do exist
Well, they have been accusing SG reg buses of pumping their sub petrol as well... But omni-buses, think they might still try to be funny -

Dun need to pay?Originally posted by alex_cai92:SBST and SMRT no nid to pay ERP. 100% confirm + chop
Then why the IU? Another thing, in the early days, the timesheets has a stamp "Please ensure sufficient value in the cashcard" to remind drivers
Even when Orchard started having its own ERP restricted pricing zone, LTA said that it would cost public transport operators abt one to two thousand dollars more -

Might SBS Transit think of registering some buses(perhaps JB MK3s) in Malaysia? -
wah. Like that sbs become Jxxxxxx. But where can one.....sbs don't have headquaters in MS.

Even more than my carOriginally posted by SBS9889U:Their road tax is higher.

In JB, 1 Proton car's road tax can be RM120, 170 bus road tax just RM30 per year
Hard lah. -
They can just chop off the half-bridge, build a new half-bridge super-beneficial for MY but near-useless to SG. They can also tamper with our water supply. Cannot do anything.Originally posted by muziq bus:when it comes to different countries, its a different story already... its politics baby...Malaysia love tapping cash from us...

they used to have to pay ERP. it has been waived sometime around 2001-2002.
also, there is no need for SBST and SMRTB to pump at Malaysia. firstly, i don't think they're allowed to do so, and they do enjoy economies of scale since these bus companies buy diesel in bulk.
