They shouldn't fine them if they fail service standards. After
all, the fine goes back to government, those companies already
belong to the government.
Since they raised the bus fare, the extra money earned comes from
commuters. In the event that they fail service standards, they
should return the money back to the commuters.
If they can't meet service standards, they should give all
commuters a discount of 40 cents on all bus rides for 1 year. If
they fail service standards again, they will need to give us 40
cents discount for another 1.5 years.
This way, they can feel the pinch. Paying fines to government does
not make sense, since those transport companies already belong to
the government.
Like take from right pocket put into left pocket.
I can't believe that Singaporeans actually take this kind of
sh|t.
