Not sure about MRT but our bus services are based on bid for routes one.
So once these bus companies are awarded the route, all they need to do is to provide the drivers and the service. The rest all paid for by the govt - includes the actual purchase of buses. Unless the bus company cock up by bidding wrongly, there should be no loss for them one.

[Peasantboy]

Did you realize that if we cut headcount for the JLB silver serpents and their scholars, we could get the same outcome at a lower cost to us, the taxpayers?

Take these damn Mayors for example, you mean I can’t have a social worker to run things? What’s so tough about being a Mayor? You mean MPs not doing their job is overseeing their division?

socializing costs!

privatizing profits!

 

[aspenco]

Some of u who are biz leaders will probably understand that some cost functions are difficult to bring down, ie hc, salary increment, bonuses... Hence it's critical for biz directors to figure out innovative ways n means to drive revenue numbers up. Many ways to skin a cat - acquiring your rivals mkt share, new product offerings, mgm, pricing mgmt to increase vol... Basic principles in managing a profitable business for the long haul.

Sadly, for decades, it feels that our politicians love to embark on the easy way out - tax the people to drum up their revenue numbers.

 

[Prime 13]

Elites view sinkies are the burden on the state monies.
Which they think ish their ownself elite monies.

LOL!
