Just buy SMRT shares to hedge against the rise in transportation cost:)

look. I’ve said this many times and im gna say this again. You don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. The overhaul done on every train every 10 days that includes ripping every door out, the change of flooring for all 132 1987 Kawasaki c151 train sets (66 trains), how they manage to fix the new Kawasaki/CSR Qingdao c151a trains, the drivers who work from 5.30-11.30pm daily…smrt’s new purchase of possibly 162/132/200 MAN NL323F chassis with a well-known British body, sbs 's purchase of 1101 scania k230ub, 200+150 Volvo b9tl, 300 Mercedes Citaros… The inspectors only have 6 hours a day, they can’t check every train set and every bus. When there are problems, Ypu rant them out on websites but do you actually report them to smrt?

I know people who complain about the weak aircon but for one it’s not even designed by SMRT -.- secondly obviously when there are so many people in the train obviously the aircon would feel stuffy!! I’m glad I have people here who actually listen, not like on Facebook where all of them gang up on me and try to compare with overseas transport systems. They can’t because all those are much more expensive than ours!!! I share my opinion with many other transport enthusiasts - jnfortunately singaporeans these days take public transport for granted. "there is no point arguing with these people" Ong you yuan

SMRT profit is how many times those of the \"others\" har?
SMRT cannot afford the \"more expensive\" trains?
come on lah..
The root of the problem is simple.. SMRT is a PROFIT oriented company.. or simply, MORE profit-oriented than \"others\"
To solve the problem is to nationalize the company/public transport. -

Does the 13yo knows how many zeros are there in 200 mil..?
Does the 13yo understand what is the meaning of profits..?
If I read this I wouldn't have bothered to reply the previous post.. -

Did someone just recognized that there is resulted \"stagnation of service quality or efficiency\" of the ministers/Government since they are part of the \"national\" body over a LONG time already? from the horse mouth some more?in Today newspaper: our beloved Transport Minister:
... that, an entity that depends on Government funding and which operates on a cost-recovery basis, \"would have little incentive to keep costs down\".
Said Mr Lui: \"Cost increases will be passed on to commuters... nationalising the operators could result in a stagnation of service quality or efficiency over time.\" -

I have said this before in a different forum.
If one really believes that SMRT and Singbus are running away with profits, then please just go buy a few lots of shares in each, your dividend payout and capital appreciation will FAR outweigh whatever increase in transport cost you have to bear.
Disclosure: I don't own shares in either, 'coz I don't think they are particularly profitable, constrained as they are in terms of raising fares. -

Cor...you are making this personal, aren't you? What do you know about him, why do you think he would not understand profits?
