Honestly I don't understand a heck why everyone is making a big
fuss over SMRT.
Over the years I've OBSERVED
SMRT is trying to improve alr eg. Fix its freq and service and I'm
starting to like SMRT over SBST.
I honestly think that SMRT
have the sincerity to improve and serve the commuters with a smile.
Its significantly cleaner buses, better-maintained buses as a whole
has convinced me that SMRT do give a damn about how commuters feel
during the ride.
SBST? Dirty, ill-maintained
buses with no heart to improve on its innovations. You may argue
that they are focused on good svc. You are wrong. SBST svcs arent
much better off from SMRT's.
This year have been a breakthrough for SMRT. I was both elated
and disgusted by how SMRT had already embarked on new innovations
eg. DDs and new bus makes while SBST hasnt had any significant
breakthrough of its own since 2010 and simply refuses to accept the
changing nature of bus operation (and ofc the changing nature of
its competitor)
I know this would spark off lots of flamings and debates. Truth
is that doesnt bother me. I just wanna share my two cents and that
SMRT is outweighing its competitior slowly but steadily. I wish
SMRT all the best in the tendering of routes.
The comment I can only offer is that it may be too early to pass
judgment at this stage.
It should become clear once the results of the first parcel
tender is released, whether LTA has bought this argument.
