  In Singapore its hard for people to avoid taking public transport if they want to get from place to place. not many people own cars and hence, these people take the train or bus to school or work daily. People also take public transport in the weekend for leisure activities.
  
  So in other words, its hard to boycott public transport services unless you own a car. But too bad youngsters like me are not qualified to drive a vehicle of any kind. Thus, we have no choice but to take the train or bus to get around Singapore. U cant expect us to ride on taxis right?

  haha my point is..if there is real competition here.. we wont only be given a choice of sbs or tibs only... when there's a demand, there's a supply...

  yeah. The keyword is "choice"
  
  They can raise it to $2 per trip and people will take it. There's no choice.

  Why don't SMRT buy over NEL......Long term prospects seem good.

  Not likely, SMRT has said it will not come up the offer first.

  SBST and SMRT actually cooperate, not compete.
