Govt has always been intervening with the bus operations.
Look how they messed up NorthWest bus services by stealing
them from SBS to TIBS and now screwed up by SMRTB.
If no possible party to take over, might as well give bac to
SBST. Anyway, the "so called" competition is virtually
inexistent.
It is non-existent because it doesnt really make much sense to
compete here...
The mix of regulation and free market known as the tender
process works for larger markets, but not ours, where inter-zonal
connectivity isn't really something we are used to.
Sad to say, if prices are not the way to compete, as in the case
here, service differentiation = buy bendy not DD?
