SimonTan 2nd Gear February 17, 2012 Share February 17, 2012 If the bus companies buy the new buses....they got not enough bus interchanges parking lot!! So still must involve gov to give more land. Also bus companies may increase the fares to cover the costs. So no the gov offered to pay n buy for them. The fares will stay low. This is a good gov. I like.

Alfpoon Clutched February 17, 2012 Share February 17, 2012 SBS & SMRT are privatised & runs a profit based service with record profits yearly...why are we using tax payer's money to fund their profits? they get $$ from taxpayers & then increase fares to further suck the cents out of the commuters. good business model man!sure win. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
