just wondering. could LTA make
a one-time investment, by engaging foreign bus
companies/organisations, and sending people working in SMRT and SBS
Transit to overseas for training? similar to back then when people working in MRTC
were sent to Japan for overseas training, before MRT services
started.
Personally, although better than SMRT, I feel that SBS Transit's
bus services can still be improved.
It would be good if both operators can be sent for training by
overseas PTOs, so that the quality of Public Transport here can be
on par with cities similar to us, such as London.
Maybe it is because SBST is
under Comfort Delgro (an international company), that is why its
services are maintained at "international standards", unlike SMRT
which does not have any foreign influence. Nonetheless, I do not
think SBS Transit's services are perfect yet.
So, LTA should send both
operators for overseas training/upgrading. Except, perhaps SMRT
should get more training/upgrading because it does not have any
international company above it to maintain its services at
"international standards".
at least we don't see crap in the MRTC, like we see in SMRT when
it is under SPH and under this 3-star general ...
