Sony 1st Gear December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 Somebody told me that some companies offer SMRT to upgrade their infra/system many years ago as it was getting old. But SMRT rejected them all....I guess to save money. So now we are seeing the result of such a decision. What do u do if someone tell u to upgrade your car to one with More airbag and better ncap rating.... U go ahead and do it or tell them wait a while lar, Coe so ex, current car still can run.... Frankly after-talk is cheap... I'm not here to defend any one coz this is a systematic failure. It's cause not by one person but top to bottom and the regulator who places demand without knowing the downstream effect.... The one suffering are all users and frontline staffs....

Atonchia Supersonic December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 (edited) I hope the below are not Hard Truth for this time being. I am sure they are all sitting around a table figuring how to handle this politically. Some have bet on the SAF scholar to take the fall. Yes, maybe they have a 10 years cycle. She was there to create the retail system to make it a well oil rental collection system. Neglect the maintenance system. Thus when a new guy from a military background who has experience in running a discipline organisation, most probably will move to the job with applause rather than skepticism. Those chiefs must go somewhere when they reached the mandatory retirement age of 45. Edited December 25, 2011 by Atonchia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too right in your analogy. SMRT gets money from commuters, so its main priority is to ensure safe ride and reasonable service provided to the public, that's why is called public transport. This does not apply to car owners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getzoooom Neutral Newbie December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 (edited) Yeah, save that few cents, but spend that thousands to repair. Those in the engineering line knows that maintenance cannot be avoided or skimmed, the furthest one can go is to squeeze the part out by another max 5% from the rated MTBF. Did anyone question her how she maintained her million dollar car? Same standard as how the trains are maintained or she demands the best of the best parts? Please lah.. where got spend thousands to maintain... They using some cable ties and problem is "fixed"!

Speedz76 2nd Gear December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 the focus is on generating profits maintenance and servicing are most likely billed under their cost center, like any profit generating companies, fund ways to reduce costs and generate more revenue!

Gukubird Neutral Newbie December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 Guys, Do you still have the link to the reason why SMRT request for fare increase eariler this year.

Yes, as a person or system get older, we go for check up, take supplements for health and vitality. So that we perform better. Last longer without COmplication later on. Car wise, i change every 5-6years.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybody 1st Gear December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 Cost cut millions on maintenance for what? Can use the money save to hire half naked men to carry her? this is exactly why public transportation should never be privatised... karma, except the ppl who suffer are the commuters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XALmoN Neutral Newbie December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 u talking about the track or the coo....both are in need of repair but only one is not in use! i apologise for the word "disuse" but then if it somehow, the statement has a double meaning, then its not so much of a fail hor?

Speedsun Clutched December 25, 2011 Share December 25, 2011 Smrt is listed....And pay dividend Not exactly, dividend can also be reduced when necessary. The ultimate intention is to justify that the top management deserved that kind of salary by announcing to shareholders it is making profit year on year. Shareholders did not know the ugly scene behind because they did not want to reflect issues that would affect their wallets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if this incident had not happened, this woman might start to come out with another crazy idea of removing more seats on the train carriages to create retail outlets on the move.
