Hi mr SMB145B and mr iveco, this is a bus forum. Do not sway away too much. If you want comment about politics, there is a politics forum in sg forums. We came here for the love of buses. Thanks.

BCM is full of politics in play.

So? There is nothing we all can do.

Anyway, Bukit Merah contract tender closes at the end of the month IIRC. Let's watch the drama unfold when the shortlist is revealed.

Don't forget the army of bus lobbyists.

The winner of the package will also be released at the end of the month.

Just look at which one offered the lowest price.

I perfer other companies win than the two local companies. even with other local company it ok not smrt or sbst. or else no point going for this bidding waste time.

wsy1234 SG

if LTA can force smrt to do just train service it will be welcome by many people.

If WTS joined with TongTar and Aedge and put in a really low bid, they might get it.

Those putting the lowest bids already got businesses here,First timer how to put lower cost?

If SBST 400m,SMRT 395m,TTS 385m & GAS 375m do you think LTA still consider the lowest bid for this case?

Of course! It's not as if their BCs have died on the job or they blew up their BYD (or destroyed any bus for their matter)

I remember a CNG-powered King Long blew up due to a fuel leak, killing the driver. Which company was it?

Oh well that's unfortunate. Doesn't matter, they managed Loyang well and they gave lowest price!

After all, if we can give OKP the contract for the flyover why not do the same for BCM?

GAG so far so good. Can't say the same about Sun Gee. It was their bus that blew up due to design flaws. But then again, Transperth had 6 CNG buses burn down, albeit without fatalities. One of these vehicles (TP1610) was allocated to TT.

WTS bid unsuccessfully for 3 contracts despite their long history as a private operator and their cool fleet. One thing i noticed is they always bid high.

WTS won't win the contract for sure.Theyre the most renowned private company in Singapore without any influential shareholders and sadly our gahmen don't like that.Now they're also outsourcing contractors to run Shuttle service for them..Already got so many complaine for Punggol and ALPS shuttle.Why they bid the highest?Simple because they know run public buses is different from private buses..

iveco SG

That's why i said they need to put in a joint bid with other operators, especially those with a history of running PPSS routes.

If they had LTY or Raymond Lim on their board, different story for sure.

No,No WTS please..Don't ask me why but having to work for them last time its enough.

Seems contrary to what you said on the previous page.

Problem is naming,What to use?Singapore Urban Bus?Let Temasek buy 20% of the share also.If LTA gives them the 3 packages on permanent basis I'll be glad to join.

Maybe yes under LTY regime last time but not the current one
