I don't know still apply but way back when we learned programming, #999 would be EOP(end of programme). So no prize for guessing where is the 999th - Mandai.

Company transport will help ease traffic woes

 

With more ERP gantries and charges, rising fuel prices and traffic congestion - perhaps companies can look into providing bus transport for their staff from the office to selected MRT stations in the North, East, West and Central parts of Singapore.

 

The employees who take the company bus can then continue making their way home via the public bus or train from the designated drop-off points.

 

This would not only help ease traffic congestion on major roads and congestion on public transport, but it would also benefit the company.

 

Providing company transport to and from the office ensures that the employees are always on time for work.

 

It would also increase efficiency as the workers will have to finish their work for the day in order to catch the transport home.

 

Staggering knock-off times between 5pm and 8pm would also help reduce the extent of traffic jams during the rush hours, resulting in a smoother journey home.

 

By providing company transport - a form of "bus-pooling" - we can also reduce air pollution which happens if each staff member were to drive to and from work.

 

Employees would reach home faster as well, which is beneficial to their family and social life, and thus their overall well-being.

 

With all these benefits, company transport may well be the way to go.

 

Just remember to make seat belts on the buses mandatory.

this idea cannot be implemented.... against their pocket-filling-policy ,

 

let me think what will happen IF...i mean IF........

IF more company starts to move toward this idea, im sure someone will make big huha and then, finally LTA have to look into it and decided "license" is required to operate a company transport and the license will only be valid for 3yrs (renewal cost depends on market subsidy of the public transport market price) and it cost ~$200K a piece,...they term it Certificate of Trasport Entitlement(COTE).

 

it's a fair cost considering:

 

the bus operate 260 days with 50 passenger a day.

so,

$200,000/ 3yrs=

$66667/ 260days= $256/day

$256/50 passenger = $5.1/passenger a day (to and fro)

so, considering, the public transport of current market rate, for a trip from AMK to Tuas for example, with $5.1/head is already a very good "market subsidies" rate from LTA hor.. dont complaint the 200K is too expensive to pay hor.. LTA already subsidy it for the operator... [laugh]
