      Joining in the brainstorming.....

      1) Remove COEs for buses, as they are the people movers. Implementing COEs is just increasing business overheads which will be passed to consumers anyway.
      For a moment, I thot you meant remove the CEO šŸ˜† But come to think of it, why do we need a CEO who is a civil servant? (this isn't meant to be discriminatory, solely \"discussionary\" ) And worse, retired ones...? How is this different from running the transport by REAL CIVIL SERVANTS? Or why not tap on those \"educated, economically inactive women\" :evil:

                \"PAP MP says public has \"misunderstood\" Transport Minister on fare hike\"


                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQxRsyQ2Psg&feature=share

                What do you think?

                No one responded to this?

                In some businesses, to keep customers happy, one of the ways is to keep selling price as a constant, and work backwards to look at other variables. Formulas can be changed to create a different costing model that works and still achieve win-win. This isn't an uncommon practice. I hope the authorities can come up with better solutions.

                looking at one of the photo in there
                the turn out looks pathetic

                    Driving the S'porean dream


                    http://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20121211-388885.html

                    You can find info on the recruitment and selection process of Chinese bus drivers in the article. The pay difference between Singapore and Chinese bus drivers and how coveted these jobs are.

                    I just felt those strikers forgot why they chose to come here and work in the first place. They acted without much thought and did not contemplate the resultant consequences that may come.
