I remember reading a newspaper article last year where SBST
proposed selling the NEL to SMRT and SMRT sell SMRTB to SBST. I
don't like this idea. If SBST and SMRT works out such a plan then
we can't compare SBST and SMRT anymore, there's only one sole
public bus service provider. Somemore imagine all the same bus
models running in Singapore in the future, then no need to do any
bus spotting le. Currently having 2 service providers already not
very competitive le. If there's only 1 service provider in
Singapore, then our complains and suggestions all surely no use
liao, because SBST will be the sole provider of bus service and
will surely become stuck up. Wonder if that will ever happen since
SMRTBuses looks like they are quite pathetic now(?). I remember
that article also mentioned that SBST is not profiting from NEL and
SMRTB does not profit much.
But i personally feels that LTA won't approve if there's such a
proposal.
What do you guys think?
