All different buses hor.
But 1 thing in common.
SMRT buses!
-
Strangely nobody complained about it.
Only an MRT breakdown will catch people's attention even as the buses burn down regularly.
-
in short, it's SBST vs SMRT...

i gotta switch to a slow carb diet soon..
each time i eat refined carbs or starchy stuff, i get hungry almost immediately...
i had chicken last night.. mainly just chicken, no carbs... and i wasn't hungry even when it was breakfast time.. but after breakfast of lor-mee, i'm starving!
-
I think it’s because the number of people on a bus is less than the number of people in a MRT. Also if no casualties the whole thing will just hush up
-
as long as it doesn't happen on the bus/train that i'm on...i no eye see.
-
The most amazing thing about how SMRT functions is that at least one of those buses that burnt down COMPLETELY (body completely gone) was actually rebuilt.
If it was SBST, you could be sure the bus would be disposed of.
First thing was the safety.
Second thing was how economical was it to rebuild the bus?
Third thing was just how desperate SMRT is when it comes to preserving what's little of their fleet? SMRT is also noted to have a very small fleet of buses compared to SBST and so when the train breaks down, the bridging services have a lot of issues.
In short SMRT has a very serious problem actually and the train breakdown was just one reflection of it.
Also, this is not really SMRT's fault if we look at the macro view, it really is the system that encourages such practices!

Afternoon Anyway I was reading the bus diversion notice. Wonder what is MBS trying to do on the public road for 10 mins. Seems like 400 & 402 ended up stranded inside Marina South before last year. Yesterday saw SBS buses blindly following SMRT buses to Woodlands CIQ! The SBS buses can use Woodlands Ave 3, Woodlands Centre Rd to the Customs, yet the BC blindly follow the 178 bus that happened to be in front.

contemplating between NZD and AUD time deposits..
both are pretty high as far as their currency vs SGD right now.. but NZD has interest around 2.9% while AUD has interest over 3%
which is higher than the miserly 0.75% or less in SGD time deposits

What's the length of time for these deposits?

I just changed a bunch of euros to keep ....
I think it'll be a win win situation right now, with the exchange rate so low ....
I'm sure it'll return to more than 2 even in a recession next year, since there'll be a lot of liquidity floating around and they'll still have to be parked in the dollar or the euro anyways .....
I reckon if europe manages to unfuck themselves it'll go to 3 .......

The exchange rate is low, but current rate may not be the lowest... U'll still lose out if it goes lower...Beside it'll most likely takes YEARRRRRSSSS~~~ for europe to implement policy and changes... and YEARSSSS to see the ripple effect...

italy's borrowing cost is already going back down ....
my reckoning is that in the last US led recession, the US and euro still had strong support after an initial slide, cos all the liquidity floating around just had to be parked somewhere ......if you have a billion, you won't be parking it in ringgit or reminbi, right ?
I think it'll be the same this time round .....
it won't take years for them to implement any policy changes ... cos by that time, they'll be owned by china .....
regardless of the case, you watch ... it'll be back to at least 2 before june next year ... and if they unfuck themselves ... it may go to 3

there was a time when NZ pays a higher interest than Sg. So alot of ppl deposit in NZ but when the NZ$ devalued, alot ended up losing money instead. -

our credit peeps are asking our dealers/traders to watch out for indian counterparties; they think there's a chance of a downgrade. the credit default swaps on indian banks have been creeping up for weeks.

I'll say the likely CCL ops when the branch line opens..
Every alternate train will head to Marina Bay or Dhoby Ghaut aft Promenade...
Meaning to say likely 8 mins peak, 9 mins off peak for waiting CCL inside the CBD area.
