        Joule:

        well its either wages go up and fares go up


        or wages go up and fares stay the same and management gets a pay cut/ pay stagnate

        but we're living in the real world

        so it's wages go up and fares go up

        Advertisements on buses goes to who har? Under a separate entity for profit is it? If the heart is set out to keep fares from rising, I do not believe there can be no other way than to cut wages.


        Shareholders ?

          the easiest way to convince yourself to believe is you go work in the bus company, either SMRT or SBS Transit[/quote]If it is a company, it operates like a normal company. Nothing fanciful. Unless it doesn't operate like a normal company.. :evil:

              Is not whether you can or cannot, is whether you want or dont want
              not a matter of want or don't want, is a matter of willing or not willing

              everything also want, just not willing to pay

                Workers in essential services are not encouraged to go on strike. Imagine doctors, teachers etc follow suit...


                If pay is an issue, then go work in another company 😞

                  yah! like CEO and top management not willing to minus 1 month bonus so that they can distribute it to their drivers.

                  oh, CEO not happy, going to quit ah? oh dear! where else can we find top talents like ex chief of defense to do the job??


                  This is just hypothetical, of course = )
