Subutai 3rd Gear August 2, 2012 Share August 2, 2012 Screw the public transport!! Really want the citizen to give up driving then THEY also have to give up THEIR luxuary cars and drivers and take public transport!! Cannot... sakali always late for meetings, must wake up early to catch public transport, very tiring then cannot make good decisions for country and justify their million dollar salary, etc. Wait.... it doesn't sound right, thats how most of us function, isn't it?

Spoiltbabe Neutral Newbie August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 can be MUCH better! design of new buses cant fit as many people as before, and lesser seats too. I also expect the bus ETA to be more accurate but it failed many times. Called cabs, the drivers fly kites when he saw our dogs (we already specify to the operator we have 2 dogs). Some slowed down, and drove away! All these unhappy incidents lead us to get our own vehicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisraeler Clutched August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 What I think: LTY is not doing too bad as Transport Minister, given that he's been given a crap job and has to deal with the problems of our transport system due to a most problematic policy by his fellow PAPians: Mass FT Immigration. MRT/bus over-crowding: can point finger at mass FT immigration Traffic jams: can point finger at mass FT immigration High COE prices: can point finger at mass FT immigration SMRT breakdowns: inherited problem that predecessors didn't know was a problem or didn't think about it. Too bad it came up during his term. $1.1billion spent on new buses: Transport Ministry has never bought a single bus for SBS/SMRT before that. Got guts to propose this. Taxis taken out of COE Cat A: when was the last time there was such a big change in COE policy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
