SBS Transit Submits Application For
Minor Fare Adjustment
"While the company is still profitable, a fare adjustment is
necessary also to ensure that it continues to earn sufficient money
to be able to invest in its operations so as to improve its
services. Buying new buses, for instance, costs money. Last year,
we purchased 150 new air-conditioned, double-deck buses which are
also low-floor and wheelchair-accessible. These 150 buses cost
about $75 million. [b]This year, we have just recently exercised
our option to buy another 50 of these buses which will cost another
$25 million. These investments do not come cheap and will
be difficult to contemplate for any loss-making operator."[/b]
150 B9TLs cost about $75 millions & 50 B9TLs cost $25
millions!!! 
Wonder why SBST didn't buy 200 B9TLs instead...
