Management: All they care is more money flowing in to make their shareholders and themselves happy.

 

workers: Just do their job. Take orders from their supervisors.

 

Commuters: WTF!!!

[Maseratigood]

Of course due to higher maintenance/operating cost. The last CEO who was able to generate profit was she cut down on maintenance/operating cost onotp of othe rreasons.

in fact, she told someone i know that she's just following her KPIs ie mainly to increase profits, so she said she is innocent, bo bian one............. who sets her KPIs??? WTF

 

btw, putting the safety of passengers/customers second or even lower than profits, what kind of concience are we talking about? elitist concience?

Seriously , are they expecting CEOs that dont have transportation system background to run a successful public transport system possible. Put the right man at the right job. Restructure if current model is nit sustainable. Cut the middle mgmt , clean up the business processes, deploy latest technology in train maintenance. Lastly , pay the ppl that is providing the actual service what is due.

[Phluvcat]

Transport?

 

Housing?

 

Economic?

 

Blah blah blah...

 

Al not sustainable. Greed will consume us all.

Come to think of it, we are paying people tens of thousands of dollars who cannot solve the problem while paying only $1200 a month to those whom we rely our safety in.

This is the double standard mindset of our nation (or at least the government). They believe certain group of people are extraordinary & must be pay very high in order to secure their services, & the rest of the 'untalented' people must be cheap, & expandable. Even though some of these job are critical & more important than many of the top job. For instance the technical team of people making sure the train are running in god condition.

 

This is similar to USA, where their CEOS are paid many hundreds, or even thousands times more than the average wage earners.

 

That's why we have one of the highest wage unevenness in the developed world. Its clear that we need higher wages for more higher position, but it may be too lopsided.

1 billion is revenue lah deh, only 80 million goes to the pocket.

 

how to answer to shareholders? you think they really concern about providing quality services to commuters?

 

just go back to government Linked company.

 

Privatised for what? Privatized liao all about profit only.

[Blueray]

 

just nationalise lah ...

Each business model is subject to different regulations and involves different costs. A ridesharing service, for example, requires lower startup costs than a charter bus company. Assess your budget as well as your short- and long-term goals. Choose a type of business that aligns with your vision.

Sure or not? Seems like skewed poll results.🤐

Passengers still happy with public transport

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/passengers-still-happy-with-public-transport-but-satisfaction-drops-for-bus-waiting-times-survey

Since when such survey would report passengers no happy with public transport? Even they say passengers not happy but overall they are still happy with such statement lo.

For passengers on the first bus, a unique bond forms between driver and rider
