Once again, let me point out to you who SMRT is. SMRT IS A PUBLIC
COMPANY. Not your grandfather's company. Its [b]main
objective is to deliver higher returns to their
shareholders.
Although you are right to mention that taking the bus is a daily
necessity, too bad, at the end of the day, profit is still the main
objective. If SMRT were to contract out more frequent cleaning
services, its going to put a strain on the company's budget and it
might affect their plans for fleet renewals.
Now now, you certainly dont want that to happen right? Im sure you
would enjoy new buses as much as I do. A few layer of dust is
unlikely to kill the passengers right?
So before you ask for more cleaning services, please think of the
poor SMRT shareholders who are going to receive lesser dividends
all because you want to travel in a dust free environment.
PS: I think you should buy some SMRT shares, maybe after you do,
you wouldnt really mind the dust too much. I went on board 969
today and was shocked at how long the queue was at Tampines
Interchange. I also noticed that only SMRT bay terminals were
flooded with long queues, strangely, SS transit bays had not many
long queues...[/b]
Shareholder??? Then I get wat you mean alrdy, commuters are
second class citizens... No need to care abt passenger comfort and
service reliability if profits are not met
Yeah it's not my grandfather's co, but if it can't even put
commuters 1st, sorry then it should give up running public utility
facilities like public buses and MRT. If Mdm Saw say her co is
providing world class transport, show it.
Such an company should not even be allowed to exist as a public
transportation company. Even if your thinking is there, very likely
SMRT will lose its routes like CMB in no time when the tendering
kicks in. Since you say not really profitable, I wun want to bid
for a bundle of profitable and non profitable routes
Dusty bus wun kill??? You go find out wat dustmites would do to
you... I suppose you 'do not mind' sleeping w/ dustmites on your
pillow w/ you every night ba 
If you dun like this, dun ever
say such words
We want to encourage public transportation, buses and MRT gotta be
frequent and not long queue from alrdy the interchange...
