a merger has more benefits than downfalls...
mergers will eliminates all unnecessary costs, first of which,
simply is parallel bus routes or long duplication. second is
expertise, planning and better usage of facilities.
about competition, singapore is too small for two bus companies,
not forgetting the word "competitors" is just in name only.
on the rail side, SMRT can use its experience in managing the
NEL..
if both merge, they can share bnoth rail and bus knowledge.
look at SPH and mediacorp.. both were "bleeding" and the merger,
lthough cut jobs, is the better for them and the public
