Transactions across MRT fare gates continue despite warning
Many buyers and sellers question basis of rule, saying it is inconvenient Laura Elizabeth Philomin . Published: 4:00 AM, August 8, 2016 SINGAPORE — Although the rule against transactions across train fare gates has been a long-standing one, it is business as usual for most people meeting up to close deals. Some, however, have made an effort to be more careful. TODAY reported earlier that SBS Transit, which runs the North-East and Downtown lines, had put up signs at Beauty World station warning commuters against conducting over-the-barrier transactions between the paid and unpaid areas. Doing business at MRT stations could earn you a fine August 3 Under the statutes, doing so could lead to offenders being removed from the station or fined up to S$2,000. But when TODAY visited the Beauty World, Raffles Place and City Hall stations over two days last week, 11 of the 19 transactions observed were conducted over the barrier. When interviewed, the people who were closing deals at the stations questioned the basis for the rule and cited the inconvenience of tapping in and out for transactions that usually conclude within a minute. “It’s a bit too stringent. I think there’s no harm letting people transact (across) the barriers,” said a buyer at Raffles Place who wanted to be known only as Mr Goh, 28. “They’re rushing off to somewhere else, and it doesn’t make sense for people to tap out and pay whatever money they have to pay just to perform one transaction.” A seller by the name of Mr Ng was stopped by SBS Transit staff from selling bicycle accessories over the barrier at Beauty World station, and his buyer had to exit the fare gates to complete the transaction. “We’re trying to make some money (as a seller) and save some money (for the buyer) — have some flexibility. What’s the difference between over the gantry and here?” the 56-year-old retiree questioned. continue reading here : http://www.todayonline.com/singapore...espite-warning

Re: 2 young lives lost
SMRT reports 22.9% fall in profit in Q1 2017 on losses in rail business
Posted 08 Aug 2016 18:12 SINGAPORE: Public transport operator SMRT on Monday (Aug 8) reported a 22.9 per cent fall in profit for the first quarter of its 2017 financial year. In a media release, SMRT said its profit after tax and minority interests came in at S$15.5 million, compared to S$20.1 million in the same period a year ago. Revenue for the quarter dropped 2 per cent to S$313.9 million. SMRT said its operating expenses rose 0.8 per cent in the quarter to S$311.5 million, mainly due to higher staff costs and repairs and maintenance costs - but this was partially offset by lower energy expenditure and other operating expenses. SMRT attributed the lower profit to a higher operating loss of S$9.4 million in its rail business, compared to a loss of S$5.3 million in the same period last year, "as a result of lower revenue due to lower average fare”. This comes after a 1.9 per cent fare reduction which came into effect in December 2015. SMRT added that there was a “cannibalisation effect of Downtown Line 2 operations”, and added that higher staff costs and repairs, as well as maintenance-related expenditures were causes of the losses reported in its rail business. Downtown Line 2 is operated by competitor SBS Transit. Among what it terms its non-rail businesses, which includes bus and taxi services as well as rental and advertising, SMRT posted a 12.3 per cent decrease in operating profit for the quarter at S$29 million. It said the drop was largely due to "lower profitability" in its bus and taxi segments. continue reading here : http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/...n/3024880.html So will the CEO of SMRT take responsibility and resign ????

Re: 2 young lives lost
MRT train refurbishment plan on hold
Published 4 hours ago LTA looking at best treatment for older trains, including replacing them, under new rail financing framework Christopher Tan Senior Transport Correspondent The authorities are looking at whether to replace old MRT trains, instead of refurbishing them, as originally planned. This comes as the government gets ready to assume ownership of all trains from SMRT and examines what to do with the ageing ones. In 2014, Singapore Rail Engineering, SMRT's engineering services division, had inked a deal with Japan's Toshiba to replace motors on 66 of its oldest trains. It recently finished doing so for one train. But now, with SMRT and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) agreeing to shift to a new rail financing framework - in which the Government assumes ownership of all operating assets, including trains - the refurbishment works have been put on hold. An LTA spokesman said that under the new framework, the authority would also be responsible for the expansion, replacement and refurbishment of rail operating assets. continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...t-plan-on-hold

SBS Transit, SMRT Buses to get $7.2b in new deals to run buses
Published 5 hours ago Govt phasing in new contracting model for 11 bus packages operated by incumbents Christopher Tan Senior Transport Correspondent The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has reached a multi-billion-dollar agreement with SBS Transit and SMRT Buses to run buses under a new government bus contracting model. The transition will take effect from Sept 1, and there will be 11 bus packages under the model, the LTA said yesterday. The packages are of varying sizes, and have different compositions of bus services with different route lengths. The authority estimated that the total contract fee for SBS Transit would come to $5.3 billion, and that for SMRT would amount to $1.9 billion. SBS Transit operates eight of the packages with 196 bus services, and SMRT Buses operates three with 77. The packages have an operating tenure of between two and 10 years. When the packages expire, each will be put up for competitive tendering - like the two clinched by foreign players recently. continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...s-to-run-buses So basically the 2 public transport companies become an empty shell . All assets controlled by LTA . So where does the funds come from ?  LTA might as well dissolve two companies and take over the entire operations .

If LTA take over operations and make profit, money goes to government. If SBS make profit, money goes to shareholder, which in the end is "you-know-who". If SBS make losses, then very simple lor, ask LTA for money to buy new trains/buses. Actually LTA also buy for them when making profit Agree or not pocket_girl, zapzaplor or war_girl?

SMRT: Gas leak from train's air-con caused smoke inside Tanjong Pagar MRT station
Published 3 hours ago Chew Hui Min SINGAPORE - Thick smoke was seen at the Tanjong Pagar MRT station on Monday (Aug 15) afternoon, affecting one trainload of passengers. A leak of freon gas from the train's air-conditioning system caused the smoke, SMRT said in a statement. No injuries were reported, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). "At 2.53pm this afternoon, passengers at Tanjong Pagar MRT station were detrained from a westbound train due to a leak of freon gas from the train’s air-conditioning system," said Ms Margaret Teo, SMRT's head of corporate marketing and communications. "SMRT staff switched on the tunnel ventilation system immediately to disperse the odourless gas." Freon, a common refrigerant, is odourless and has low toxicity. It does not catch fire. continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...ar-mrt-station Indeed real world class mrt system. First water leaked ; now smoke leaked . What next ?
