I'm not blind and I can see for myself. If you don't like SMRT
why bother taking it's services?
If all you care is just the conditioning of the bus, Why not
join SMRT as a mechanic to see if you are 'better enough' to offer
advice to these mechanics? I'd like to see you improving on SMRT's
already-hopeless fleets. Don't complain so much. If you think you
are up to it, Do it - Enough of your countless whacking about SMRT
buses. I want to see you on the job someday, and tell me how would
you advice the mechs to improve on their fleets?
Fine, I'll concede about SMRT svcs faring outside Woodlands,
Yishun, Sembawang and CCK, But have you ever looked at how is it
faring in their own district?
" If
you don't like SMRT why bother taking it's services?"
You do realise that what SMRT provides is not some exclusive
good?
Social contract.
Public obligation.
Do you know what I just said?
So you just basically conceded just about everything that people
have told you about SMRTB's bad state. But then you now contest on
home ground.
For that, I suggest you refer once again to the words in red.
What use is bus co. that runs trunks well only through the
north?
I'm no SBST fan.
But I'll be darned that there are people who try to defend the
indefensible.
You ask what SMRT could have done to improve the fleet?
Use the capital market and raise funds and chuck the useless
buses slowly.
Ask the public nicely for fare hike and show genuine improvement
in service.
They didn't. Far from it. The buses were just left to rot.
Now we arrive at a stage where whatever the govt or SMRT does
will be perceived as wrong, whether it is or not.
And whose fault is that?
