5 SMRT BUSES LTD $813,792.00 Pls refer to 4 attached documents. Pls
note that our price is higher due to our buses are licensed to
carry standing passengers. (maximum capacity = 75 passengers) This
means one bus is equal to 2
buses.
SMRT Buses had bidded for 2-Year Term Contract for Provision of
Feeder Bus Service to Biopolis, SMRT Buses got
excess buses to provide such service meh?
Is it more lucrative to provide such feeder service then public bus
service? Why SMRT Buses are different from the rest (our buses are licensed to carry standing
passengers[)? Is it fair to other private bus operator? Why
won't SMRT seek to improve bus services in Bukit Panjang?[/b]
they have buses reserved for chartered services only, jus like
Tekong shuttles. in fact, they could let the same batch of buses do
tekong on weekends, then biopolis on weekdays. jus hope they dun
really throw in those Lances.
yes, SMRT buses are licensed to carry standing pax as they have the
necessary safety facilities to do so (grabpoles etc). in fact,
there are also private buses tat has been allowed standing pax
capacity licensed to them. no issue here, maybe comfort can also
state if their buses are licensed to carry standing pax as
well.
the rest of the questions are not for me to answer (fairness &
bt panjang). maybe u can read up on the case study of JIS &
SBSL.
