I thought I
heard it over the news that school bus operators will raise their fees next
year by 10% to 20%. Just wonder what
would be the reasons for the hike when petrol prices have gone down so much.
Can it be rental, wages or COEs that are forcing them to hike the fees? Or are
they paying their top management millions and needed the parents to pay for
their high pay?
It was also
reported that an operator serving a primary school in Jurong would be raising
fees by 100% or more. And the reason, they lost some contracts and therefore
must make up for the loss of revenue. Also the bus operator needs to make more
trips for students attending ECAs.
It was also
reported that the School Bus Association will be talking to this school bus
operator. Maybe raising by 100% is too much. How about 90% or 80%? What about
the reasons, losing other contracts can pass the cost to the parents?
My
neighbourhood chicken rice stall closed down another stall in another food
court. So now he is raising his chicken rice from $3 a plate to $5 to make up.
This is an easy way to run a business.
Uniquely Singapore
PS. Can the
school terminate such unreasonable bus operator and engage another operator? I
think cannot. I don’t think it even occur to them that they can do so.

Aiyo rb, u have short memory?
After 2015 "911", one "MOE" head become 2 heads => need 2 offices, everything times 2 lah, phone lines, secretary, computers, printers .....
Mb bus operators also very tough biz like education need 2 heads oso to manage. Therefore "one shot one kill" cannot work liao, now need "two shots one kill"?

What's wrong to collect more $$$ ( after GE )?

Who is more correct?
"Can the school terminate such unreasonable bus operator and engage another operator?"
RB
Aiyo, that is provided there is another equally good, or cheaper rather, operator available lah.
If not, how to terminate?
Just like how to expect 70% to vote the PAP out when the alternative is even worse?

That’s why now NOL ends up for sale?
Papigs are only the " best " in SIN city but the lousiest in the world?
Can only bully sinkies but hapless against outside competition?
Cannot blame the bus operators as they are good employers who need to increase salaries of their drivers.
Sinkies have been complaining about employers exploiting their employees by offering low salaries, esp those khongcum failures who are jealous of seeing towkays driving big cars.I see those like Geebert, uncle Liong ..calling for higher pay for cleaners, screwty...
Private bus drivers also need to be paid more so as to have dignity so that they are on par when they talk to screwty, gardeners and cleaners.
As such it is reasonable to increase bus fares so that wages can be increase.
Plenty of neighbourhood schools within walking distance. Those who chose schools far away are those who can afford.Garmen never say you must choose good school for your kid and force you to take private bus.
Live within your mean and stop whinning.
All the khongcums coming here to act rich.

NOL chairman surname is KWA.
SPH CEO is CHAN HENG LOON ALAN
GE 2015 is over.
PAP bitches .... I mean Singaporeans.
It's time to pay.
Haha........
How much more cynical can
Stinkies go with their Political
Leaders.
We are into Spring Season.
When will the Spring Cleanings
start?
Maybe Stinkies are fine with the
Sqeaky Cleanliness of Singalore.
Only a few are uncomfortable. So
those calling the Shots, whether
One Shot One Down or Ten Shot
Ten Bobos, nothing matters.
Important thing is keep the
70% Khingcums daft and everthing
shall be fine for Pappies.
How long can last with another 70% kongcum being CEOS ......?
By 2020, many sinkieland flagships icons likely be pawned or change ownership?
Count yewrself lucky if the GBB, Botanic Gdn and the urn haven pawn yet?
Out of so many countries, which two are dictatorial state and pass power from father to son like ancient monarchy?
Both states have absolute control over their national medias .......
Both leaders live more than the lives of emperors when more and more of their population sink under poverty?
The legislative arm in both countries are nothing more than rubber stamps?
The best professions to be are "Pimps ", "prostitutes", "狗"?
One is a pariah state bordering China.
The other snort size further further south with a lot of traitors .....
Another similarity is an extremely suppressed culture and mindset, from how YEW live, to how YEW shit, to how YEW pee, to how YEW make babies in the bedroom oso these two "seow great" leeders wan to poke their noses to interfere and meddle .....
