all the while i dun believe in a MRT company to run a taxi corp
.
A contradiction of interest .
I always say SMRT should be minding their own MRT business ,
leave those taxi business to someone else !!!
It never a contradiction in their view of management, first and
foremost, MRT should not be privatise, it should be a public, same
goes to bus, and SMRT then can run soley on taxis.
When you privatise bus and mrt, your objectives is to make
profits, the more the merrier, but then buses and mrt are mend as a
social infrastructure to serve the tax payers citizens. Not mend to
make money, just breakeven will do good.
Recently govt put in millions to buy new buses, why not SMRT,
where do these millions come from?? taxpayer like you and me, then
why should we allow MRT and buses to privatise if the structure
cost are borne by taxpayers like you and me, including your
fuel surcharges, ERP, personal income tax, property, GST and so
on.
In reverse, SMRT should let go mrt and buses back to the govt as
a public company, and concentrate itself on taxis or other mode of
transport, which they can be privatised, and more or less help to
ferry paxs on those cork up mrt lines..hehehe
