SBS Transit, SMRT ask to raise bus and train fares

[CYRN]

The current corporate entity SBS transit was formed in listed in 1997.
http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/about/corpprofile.aspx

To be fair must compare since late 1990s.

You must be joking rite. SBS long time ago form alreadi. SBSTransit was "formed" as they "re-structed".

Tomolo they can "re-form" and call them Singapore Bus and Rail Services.. SBRS.. you wan to start counting from tomolo? :think:


*edit* aliway dun skip the question..realli like to know where you get your 1400% from. mabbe misunderstand the charts and that's why you so for the price increase.

 

[Static]

waiting keenly for your analysis ...

What analysis u waiting for ?

I oso keenly awaiting for ur ans to my qtns you gross over

First thing, what justification do they have when their profits over these years keep increasing ?

I'm onli holding back loh.. see if you wan to read a little more before anihow post again...haiz... realli have to grow out of your spoonfeeding thinking and "research" a little more before challenging data which are easily googled.

you're the one who posted that site as "evidence".
besides this is your point so why should I help you find supporting material?

Official site

Wiki site

You wan more... google got 2.28mil returns... you can read all you wan from the links there. :devil:

gimme a break...your transport providers serve different areas in HK.
eg. Kowloon, airport, Lantau etc.

that's why I asked for specific urban areas which are served by many transport companies, not countries which are served by many transport companies.

I thought we were discussing the current corporate entity ie. the current management team etc. Who knows what kind of cost structure the previous corporate entity had?

But you want analysis from the 1970s also can. Can anyone find the price of bus fare at that point? Then we must also add in inflation since $1 in 1970 is worth more than $1 today.

*edit* aliway dun skip the question..realli like to know where you get your 1400% from. mabbe misunderstand the charts and that's why you so for the price increase.

I said in previous post already, should be 7 times. But 7 times still translate to 40% increase in overall costs.

Haiz.. no point arguing wif you on your spiral logic... The fact is that there are readily available evidence and documented experiences. And you are just harping on points which are actually swaying this argument off-track.

If HK is not Urban, then I dunnoe what is urban.... I hope you've been to HK before and have experienced youself before making your stand on theory only. :nono:

and since its your point its up to you to bring that up...not me. I only in charge of bringing up the points that work in my favour. It's up to you to bring up points that work in your favour.

I said already, HK got different areas served by different companies.
What's the point of bringing up one country with different urban areas served by different companies? You might as well say America got New York Bus companies, Philadelphia Bus companies, LA Bus Companies, SF Bus Comapanies, Boston Bus companies...

I'm asking for one urban areas (be it Kowloon or Lantau or Sentosa) which are served by many different companies.

Bro, don't waste time argue with him lah, we have said what we wanted to, and lets who read the post judge on their own...

Rather than carry on like these :sweat:

That's why I also answer you mah... but seems like you dun get the hint that there are ready evidence to be googled loh.. the idea is to say (let me put it in a straight forward manner).. can you even google evidence in your favor... which you have failed to produce.

Again, you are swaying the argument to some irrevalent comparision. We are refering to Sg bus public transportation... not complaining LCK got less service compared to Sentosa woh.

I believe for HK case, most services goes to the HK/Kowloon island central area with point to point trunk services to less populated areas.

Fun mah... I also learn new things on the way....

like this.

And our taxes from here .

CYRN: Why don't you just post your evidence to debunk him rather than asking him to go google for it? The hits he locates may not be the hits you were relying on. It is probably better to be clear than to let someone else guess what you are trying to say.

As for the second point, I think what he's trying to say is that there seems like a number of bus companies in HK, but they do not compete with each other? Ie each has its own zone to ply.

I haven't been following the arguments between you two, but this is my impression from the last 10-20 posts - my apologies in advance if I misunderstand.

Hi,

Alreadi posted the more revalent links. As mentioned, it's more for him to find links that stands on his side of the argument as well which he have provided none.

As for the second point, it's true as it does not make business sense to entirely duplicate services for a particluar, however, there are large areas of overlapping services, not only by the different bus operators but the rail services as well. Of course all will converge on the business center.

Oki, lets wait for his response then .

prices have been going up year to year....

oil prices have risen > 1400% since 1999.
Has transport costs risen even 20% since 1999?

hmmmmm..... i am more interested to know the price after processing the oil as in Diesel... Bus uses diesel right??

You can say about the rising price in raw material... but i am more interested in the end product. :sweat:

The original point is that someone said that singapore is a monopoly for transport providers. I said find me an urban area with many different transport providers serving it.


HK has 5 transport providers. But they serve different areas of HK.
So what? Do all 5 compete in the same region?
