The man who was death SG hey got mrt break down ytd, luckily morning repair liao if not i cannot go to sch liao
sbst275 SG That one from what I see, can only occur if the power supply line is elevated, happened NEL uses this system Most probably is due to creep
sbst275 SG This one maybe cos of parent co wants a good growth, but sadly, SMRT's only revenue of growth unlike ComfortDelGro is Singapore itself But I'm mad with what the minister of state said
sbst275 SG She said that SMRT came with the retail space may help to defray the pressure for any fare hike... In the 1st place my thinking was, how much rental can you collect that can help to defray the b%&^&* hike in diesel cost... Forgot, she's one of the shots at TH as well
the Bear SG they can BS all they want... no one cares anyway.. thing is, people have very short memories.. for crying out loud, REMEMBER ALL THESE THINGS THE NEXT ELECTIONS!
sbst275 SG If I'm not wrong, there's only 1 such case that a Minister holds a external position Even the new batch that Grace Fu, she has to leave her job as CEO of PSA Singapore/ Asia Terminals
av98m SG I still don't understand it. SMRT claims that it needs to raise fares to deal with increased diesal costs....but here's my question. It has been making record profits year after year after year after year.....so obviously it is not having any problems with its costs. Or am I missing something?
sbst275 SG Talking abt creep, reminds me of something I did remember my sis told me that creep failure is due to increased loads over a period of time... Gosh...
the Bear SG yeah you are... you're missing the "bleed them dry" clause and the "financial sodomy" policy
sbst275 SG Actually what they want at the decent least is to maintain the profit level Look into it further, SMRT need not do any bus fleet replacement wheras for SBS, within this 5 years, they might need to replace at least 800 buses by 2009
the Bear SG hmm. creep... i'm a creep i'm a weirdo what the hell am i doing here? i don't belong here i love Radiohead
sbst275 SG That's why I have always asked for buses and train to compete They fear something like NTUC FairPrice faced in China, cos they know very well if the bus rts is well organised, SMRT would need to catch mosquito
