Newspaper says SMRT profit drops despite so many commuters taking the MRT, so how?

Need to increase ridership or fares again?

Cut a few fat cats from the top, will profit again lor.

sbst275 SG

fare hike followed by reduction in train frequency

SMRT CEO & CFO alrdy kpkb the bus ops not profitable, burden to SMRT's profit line.

Yet they can deploy so many buses onto operating Sentosa Casino bus svs. $2 per trip so profitable.

That is the hint from smrt.

They gonna increase if some ministers say economy back on track.

And poor pple gonna pay extra again.

Even e LTA planners are thinking they can squeeze more ppl on MRT and remove buses as MRT more profitable.

"ERP help ppl to own cars"

I think at tis rate, gahmen would start selling scholarships.. who can make more profits would get it!

Bear says even at 7am on a sunday morning, the MRT trains are already packed.

Go figure as to the situation during normal peak hours.

MRT packed on a early sunday morning are mostly those old stupid singaporeans going for exercise, cowboy dance class, breakfast, or walk walk...for most youngs like me and foreigners, sleep like pig till 12 noon also can hardly wake up.

Sometime Singaporeans have to blame themselves for overly too health concious ya,,,..until MRT also get packed up..relax lah

SMRT also do advertising business and collect rentals from tenants from their stations hor.

each MRT stations have their billboards and tenants from stations such as Dhoby Ghaut, Tampines, Simei, Eunos, Tanjong Pagar and many more.

Does SMRT cater to companies for transporting services for their staff? I bet they do isnt it.

Trains and bus are public services and should not be measured by profit alone.

I travel in UK last week and most of my trips are riding on the trains. Most of the time I got a seat and the trains are on time and efficient.

I travel back to Beijing, those trains although are crowded but pretty cheap and effiicient too (0.4SGD) single trip.

I returned to Singapore and shit place for public transport. Weather is hot, long wait for trains in-btws, transfers are confusing, service at the train station is worse than 3rd world and unhelpful.

I hopped on a trip to KL, alas, their trains are new and services better than Singapore.

I walk the talk all the time in my company, if I am the CEO or CFO of SMRT, I will give up my car and travel on train until my customers are fully satisfy with my service.

even the air conditioning at MRT they also want to save. do you know how hot and stuffy it is inside mrt when it is so overcrowded with people. air conditioning is non existent and we are breathing in carbon dioxide in the carriages.

in e first place if you look at SBS's case, they dun make most of their profit from fare collection, it mostly came from bus ads.

Who the hell reads bus ads?

Everybody is either busy sleeping or listening to their Ipods or playing their gameboys.

Even after taking those TV down from buses, prices still the same.

Those TVs were a profit-making venture for SBST. If anything their installation should have caused fares to drop.

Frankly, I'd rather pay more to silence that crap rubbish they dared inflict on their 'captive audience'.

Then the companies who think advertising on buses is useful are really throwing good money away.

Well, they still provide mobile exposure for their products.

They are targetting ppl like me, no iPods or gameboys (wtf plays gameboy these days? it's psp).

It keeps me amused w/o burning a hole in my pocket.

Off hand, I cannot really recall any products from the adverts.

Can you?

Give you 5 minutes and I doubt you can even recall more than 5 products.
