  Although I hate TIBS alot, I feel kind of pity for them.
  They seem weak under the control of SMRT. They do not have much freedom. They seem to be going into the reds. Their name is going to be dropped down!
  
  What are your views on this?

  Why must pity them in the first place?IMO They are much stable financially under SMRT.
  
  I'm just sad that SSB(CSS)are going to be withdrawn soon

  I believe their actions are much more restricted ever since they are incorporated into SMRT Corp.
  
  TIBS invested in alot more buses when they are still under TIBS Holdings.

  Yes, SMRT is forcing TIBS commuters to take the MRT indirectly.

  That's my whole point. TIBS are not as free as they used to be.

  Didn't you read the article when there were talks about SBS giving up NEL to SMRT last year?A sentence said that SMRT's subsidary, TIBS, is not 'ringing the bells'

  AFAIK CSS is only allowed to withdraw services, not to amend or introduce new ones.

  Why can't they just transfer the route to Trans Island and close down the company?

  CSS although affliated to TIBS and SMRT Corp, it operates as a separate entity on it's own.

  CSS is actually quite an autonomous subsidiary.

  it's hard to feel pity for a company which is part of a cartel out to financially sodomise their customers..
