i feel public transport cannot be operate like a profit earning business ba

ultimately it is meant to serve the public de

like that say is like if we want a reliable working infrastructure, we jiu need to pay more n more? isn't it the basic thing for the government to provide for us?

dun we have extra funding for things like this? or they rather use it more other more irrelevant stuff?

Actually our expectations for SMRT is very low. Breakdown every 100,000 km is also ok if train fares can be kept low and the failures are short like 10-20 minutes.
If going to breakdown for 6 days, then no need to talk to us about simi million mean kilometres between failure (MKBF).

SINGAPORE: Raising rail reliability targets could come at a cost to taxpayers and commuters, said Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat.

The current rail reliability target of 1 million mean kilometres between failure (MKBF) remains a "relevant and valid" target, he said in parliament on Monday (Nov 11).

He was responding to a question by Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh, who said that the target of 1 million MKBF was set about five years ago, and asked if the Ministry of Transport (MOT) is considering raising the threshold.

Mr Chee said that the 1 million figure was chosen because it represents what the best, most reliable rail operators – such as those in Taipei and Guangzhou – have managed to achieve in their systems.

“If we look at it today, I think it's still a relevant and valid target, something that is useful for us to focus on, and that is something which we will continue to work towards,” he said.

The prospect of raising it further has to be carefully assessed, he added.

“Because there is a trade-off between raising MKBF further and what is the cost incurred, which will then ultimately have to be borne by either taxpayers or commuters,” said Mr Chee.

“So, we will study this carefully.”

Rail reliability was being discussed in parliament in the wake of several MRT and LRT system disruptions in the past months.

KO mayors n 50% pay cut for all pap mp etc n use it for the rail etc..😮💨🤦‍♂️ 😡

Stop increasing fares n gst n taxes n S&CC n wasting our $$$$ etc due to these jlb.
Just require the House members to pay $10k for every absence in House meeting.
It will be some tiny sum.
How many meetings do they have in a year ?
And they still cannot attend all of the meetings when they are PAID to do it.
