II think e fig is wrong. $549m from SBS bus alone.

Works out to be 62.67c per commuter.

Tat's CDG's total revenue.

It comes from buses in Singapore, UK, Aust, PRC, NEL, Taxis in S'pore, UK, PRC, Vicom, vehicle repair/ assembly, driving centre.

If want to mention more, the bus contracts in UK and Aust is based on paid scheme. They're paid a sum by e federal or state govt regardless of ridership.

If you want to know SBS's turnaround, go check from SBS's webbie itself.

Citing higher profits at its parent company, ComfortDelGro, which rose by 1.6 percent in the three months to June 2010, the UK Union wanted higher pay rise than what was offered. Do they even care that in SG it is a transport monopoly, where Singaporeans have been forced into paying higher and higher fares for decades?

This is not fair to both our commuters and drivers.

you try to split e market, is there econs of scale when they procure diesel or purchase buses?

Furthermore bigger bus coy, tendency is you've better resources to schedule bus dispatches.

You have a point there. The revenues from the influx of 1m of foreigners commuters must remain higher with even higher fares so that econ of scale is always guaranteed.

big TVs on mrt station and aircon bus interchange. do we need that. we don;t. so we have to pay extra for them? siao. some things never in the first place need improvement. spend and take from commuters. i tot public transport is to serve the people, not make profit out of it

Sbst, you think the transport companies are making too little or too much profits at the expense of the commuters?

they dun make profit how to decide some year's profit give less divd to procure more buses?

Actually if they make better profit, should become a benchmark to slowly raise driver's pay... kaoz, work so long hours driving everyone, least got hardship pay ba

No need to increase BC's pay lar.

After all, they can import cheaper drivers from PRC.

There are so many PRC BCs these days that I think the local Singaporean BC has become extinct.

Not to mention one quarter of the commuters are from PRC too.

driver must ensure within his power, not just sitting in his sit. yes i agree. some are stupid. they see me they like to sit or stand near me. becuase they think if i give them attention they are cool, or maybe they wanna know me

buses? no sits one. outside see very big inside all must stand. handicap friendly. but i see a few nadicaps taking buses only. mart no sits, all stand. middle row if got 2 rows of sits more people can sit. this type of clasic design is for sandwishces only. all pack them in like sardines so they can make more profits. now even trains got a few carriage no sits all have to stand one. imagine moring you board at one end and have to take transpiort to the other end. then employer ssay sg orker spicking don;t want to work far excus ehire foreigners

If driving 10 hours a day was worth anything, the transport company would be paying BCs $4K a month.

But do you see them doing that?

No, they just hire more cheaper foreign drivers who will drive more hours for lesser salary.

You want to champion for the rights of BCs, you look for the CEO of that transport company.

charlize SG

Don't blame me.

Blame the system.

Cute Dolphin SG

I wonder how much money gahment earn per day through ERP.

The money earned must be astronomical .

so the fare $$ come from where? So if you're so willing to suggest $4k wages, is charlize willing to pay $1 bus fare as basic min fare? if not NATO.

and No I'm not even referring to anything of $4k wages right now as what you claimed.

Then you should tell the transport companies to earn less profits then.
