I dun quite get u. But CTS is not abt who's territory is larger.
It's 1 for 1. If u run into my territory, I will run into yours. So
call it unfair, but that's how it is. That's why this scheme is not
really good for SMRTB becos they only have a few towns to play
around with.
Each town has it's boundaries. Even when a service only plies the
outskirts or the boundaries, it's inevitable that a few flats
within the town will have convenient and direct access to it. But
that's still not counted as gg into the town. So it's acceptable.
It may seem silly to u, but that's how it is. It's really how the
rival company views it. As long as I don't see it as u intruding
into my area, it's fine, ur service doesn't have to be a CTS (even
though the riders and residents may think otherwise).
The reason why SBST has services in Yishun and Woodlands is becos
of the CTS scheme. That was essentially what I was trying to point
out. That S/965 doesn't come "free" and without "sacrifice". Tit
for tat basically.
