[GLGT] Raising rail reliability targets could come at a cost to taxpayers, commuters: Chee Hong Tat

[carlongerdidu93]

still got the audacity to raise prices and taxes somemore

 

[RedEyesFan]

If tax money that is wasted on SimplyGo is used on MRO instead, won't have the karmic 6-days breakdown liao.

 

[fire]

So this year wont election liao?

That you have to ask lw arl

 

[Eost002]

Transportation is the backbone of our economy and the reliability cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It is a privilege to serve its purpose in our nation

 

[Medicated Oil]

I am just curious.
With the recent numerous breakdown in MRT and LRT, did we meet the reliability target in the 1st place ?
If not, what happened ?

 

[jasvonvios]

Can't he tell LTA to stop wasting money on silver zone, friendly streets and replace perfectly fine bus stop and divert the budget to maintain mrt?

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.

I rather pay cut 1st n annual vote ( edit by residents) for mp performanace appraisal - gets bonus or KO.

Stop wasting tax payers $$$$.

Then demolish the trains and bus system lor, then you won't hear sinkies complain about reliability.

But after that you got people reach office work or not, is another thing.

There is something wrong with Tat Chee Hong. As an elected official, instead of representing the ppl who voted him to bring business to to explain their mistakes (SMRT, Income to name a few), he is repeatedly defending business corporations.

WTF is his problem. Toa Payoh Bishan ppl, please wake up!

Self-appraisal and Self-reward.
How much reduction can we get ?
They are already getting separate pay for their individual appointments.
(Correct me if I am wrong.)
There is a lot to cut.

There's actually a performance appraisal..it's called the elections but people seems to be afraid to use exercise their own rights against poor performing MPs.

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.

If they dun even attend all the meetings, what more do you expect from them ?
If they cannot do it, dun run.

Yes, but 4+ years is too damn long...
Annual is the best.
