Cdg is not going to match Grab, apps is the next future way of
driving taxi, taxis in time to come, may not be in our time, will
not be street pax or on Q, it will be automated, with our good IT
infrastructure here, whereby many of it usage are not used, thing
like 4G, GPS, and son are very advance in Singapore,
one of the top usage of IT in the world.
Therefore, it will be crazy to stick on MDT, and
AS I SAID LONG AGO, Grabtaxi biggest shareholders is
govt, temasek, GIC companies, who are also shareholder
of CDG, so no matter pax uses grab or cdg, they still
earn.
And like facebook, they want to use Grab not only to match taxi
and pax, there are other motives to it, like locating a person,
with a grab apps, your location, name can be capture by the
authority, that makes police work easier. And if all people
download grab..they can track you easily.
So, in conclusion, CDG is not going to do anything,
they will let MDT die by itself, cdg apps is still
around and it might link with Grab to seek the economy of scale in
transmission. By few years time, cdg call centre will close,
because the cost of operating it will not sustain, the likes of
having to employ staffs to mend it, having to set up repair centre
at sin ming, the likes of having to teach, having to maintain and
update is not worthy of cdg to venture further.
With Grab, shareholders of cdg, temasek, GIC and
other GLCs will benefit from it, and that is why they do not mind
to invest on it, and also give out good incentive to attract
cabbies, this will ultimately erase the problem of pax and taxi
matching or pax not getting a cab or taxi driver unable to find
pax
So u saying cdg's future upgrading programmes has no hope
ah
Only it's name stands as sg largest taxi company but other
things still lose to smaller players sibo?
