This one stop at exactly 1.54 , exactly as i stated it last week. Shorted with little profit. I cannot say further, i know the pain of those vested. I shd not make it more painful for you. But if i am a stake holder, i think the future look bleak , I would sell, and move on. In fact, today u shd have shorted to hedge. I think future div is now a big question mark? and now they are talking about free travel? I m still alittle confuse abt the news. but free at the expense of profitability of SMRT, unless govt pay.

Ex-CEO Saw Peck Hwa took care of share holders' interest to raise share price... The new CEO Desmond Kuek is tasked to take care of the service reliability and safey, all these works need to spend a lot $. Also more $ will be spent in future and no time to do other thing. This makes a big difference between both of them. So moving forwar, it is an indication whether we should buy SMRT shares now.

MRT line takes long time to construct. There is a limit of many trains can use the rails at the same time. MRT will be used to solve long term problem. Buses are more flexible, can be diverted to any other routes whenever there is a need. Buses are for solving transport problem in the short term. Singapore govt is very conservative. When Mr Ong Teng Cheong suggested MRT, there were many ministers (ordinary citizens as well) against it. So in the end the conservative nature choose 6-carriage train rather than the 8-carriage train that HK used. They could have forseen the need for 8-carriage trains by building longer stations to cater for future needs at that time. Now if we are going to extend to 8-carriage, there is no way to do it without major disruption. There is no way to make profit if the fare is kept artificially low. So things start to break down after 10 years. So the previous CEO had to depend on renting out shops and advertisment boards to make profit. If only someone was brave enough to tell the cabinets that it is high time to renew the lines a few years ago. So far i have not heard any public transport make any profit in this world. In HK, there were many PRC working in their MTR lines. This help them to keep the wage low but their fare is still higher than singapore. They are using the land sold along the MTR lines to support the rail. I think it would be good if our MRT lines are given more land pieces to build shops and rent out around the MRT station to help to collect revenue for the MRT, thus can keep the fare as low as possible and as long as possible. Foreigners should not be subsidised, so only locals with bus pass (students) or NRIC are charged subsidised fare. All foreigners should paid the actual fare. Citizens will then know they are paying very little compared to the foreigners.

this is a golden opportunity to buy at a lower price. If it can goes below $1.30 it will be good to accumulate. |

should bring this value down.... should placed this as overvalued change status to " Sell" where all the money go to is simple, for those who are sitting behind the desk with luxurious cars. i would say everyday at least 1/2 of the population of singapore is taking public transport with a min fee of $2 for 2 trips. EST " 3.5mil people so = $7 mil per day" and " $210 mil per month" if the current managment cannot handle the case what should they do ? stay on keep lossing money? replace the people in there? Increase the fare price again?< ------------- 100% choose this |

Few suggestions to SMRT, think out of the box, why not have double desk er trains, or the management serve as drivers as well, multi tasking to save cost. Ha ha. | ||||

With the trains so crowded daily they still make a loss, just don't understand. I think we must have a population of maybe 10 millions and commuters crowded until some need to sit on the trains roof top, like Indonesia to make money. |

First thing MRT is more efficient than buses - introduce so many buses for what?? Every bus need to be driven by a bus driver = most cost!! Every bus need a maintance schedule, place to park = more cost!! Buses running along MRT lines = dilution of passengers onboard. Suggestion to cut cost - Rental of buses(like taxis) to singaporean driver. Foreigners can only relief drivers for singaporean. This will minimise the cost and risk for the company(no need to pay staff salary and diesel). Rules/running time schedule still must follow company. |

Lousy! Every day got so many people taking MRT and bus. Every day taxis uncle pay the rent. Every month collect rent from shops. Now still can post a loss for the 4th quarter??? Ridiculous! Definitely something wrong with the business model. Why high staff cost and high maintance cost?? Poor management! |

Now i think why they make the train run slowly? Because they want to make the money u spent on the ride worth it. They want to stretch your dollar from Raffles Places to Pasir Ris.......LOL.

I believe this sub way is the only one that make a profit , other in other countries are making a loss long time ago as i learnt fr one expat in the train, the other day. he is a British, he told me. he is lecturer at the poly. And yet, it provide an" excellent world class service" I seldom take train, but it take me i hr and 10 min to go fr Yew Tee to Dhoby Ghaut. and with stop in the tunnel and some stoppages in the stn.That is not the case, year back.,and u hear the announcement of " sorry , the train will stop at this stn for a moment..so on and on." I seldom take train, but imagine the frusstation of those who take train daily, either we overhaul the old train or the whole stupid management.
