been irked by commuter woes lately? maybe heres part of the reason why.. some guy, very used to reading lots of small words, actually went to pick something out of the annual report of SMRT.. quoting zhiming,
from the annual report, passenger trips have increased 11% from 2002 - 389.7m to 434.9m. However, car kilometres operated dropped from 81.4m to 77.1m. SMRTC has been aggressively cutting costs by cramming as much as people into each train and reducing frequencies since 2004, to maximise shareholder value. Thus, what is observed is simply increasing ridership, yet the supply of trains remained the same, and even dropped.
hmm. not that im really disgruntled with our public transport system or anything.. i dont commute at the times where people normally do heh, so well, yeah.. dont really face all those crowded buses and cannot-be-boarded trains very often.. but i heard stuff like, omg cant get on the train and, omg it takes like more than one hour to get to work for some people.. i really am glad i dont have to face that every day. for me, the thing about not affecting me so not really caring kinda takes precedence here.. ya, i know like that not very good but oh well.. i get used to the bus arrival timings and travelling times, they get me there on time, yayness. of course, its a plus if a get my favourite seat:) *gringrin*
