I refer to the article "Belt Up? Its Not Pratical" on the New
Paper today.
It says that it is dangerous to ferry the foreign workers
on lorrys. However, ferrying the workers on buses would lead to
increased costs. I have a suggestion to solve this problem.
I believe everyone knows that SBS Transit has been scraping
old buses which can still be used. Example, all the Mark IIs have
been scraped, just because they have reached their "lifespan". The
Mark IIs can still be used if LTA allows it.
To solve this problem, the LTA can be more flexible to allow
these old buses to continue to be used. The old buses that SBS
Transit does not want can be given free to the foreign workers
companies to ferry the foreign workers, as opposed to using
lorries.
