SMRT Corp , the smaller of the 2 incumbents , performed badly .
It's taxi business incurred operating losses of $5.1 million in 2006 , returned to the black in 2007 with $600,000 and slipped back into the RED with a loss of $6.3 million last year .
can someone explain to me , to lose $6.3 million in 2008 , and yet they still chose to stay on in the industry ? Isn't it to close down better ?
no wonder they had to increase MRT fares , at the expense of commuter , to balance their books .
two years lost $11.4million , recovered just $600,000 in 2007 , in 3 years , they lost a massive $10.8 million .
Wow , what a figure .
Still dunno why they still launched Chrysler and hurt themself even more .
They should closed down for good , right ?
their bus biz also losing money.. SBS can make $2.8k of profit per bus, yet SMRT makes $5k of loss per bus on avg

Surprisingly , i saw most is from Comfort & Citycab .
smrt hirers bo pian ma .... no cheap where got taker ?
Poolman, it seems that SMRT is ripe for a takeover. We need an opposition with differing views as in 'other' areas of our lifes.
Can the millionaire cabby buy into their fleet and you can be sure I'll be in line to be one of your first hirer. I believe so will the others here.
Comfort/City can be likened to our present political strongarm, with tried and tested formulas and think tanks nurtured to it's systems of thought.
We cabbies as ordinary citizens know that something is wrong but cannot put a thumb on what is because we are ordinary. We do need that bright light that can shine into this darkness so we can see.
So, Pool, I have my foot on the accelerator to chiong into your camp so I can see the light.

it's true SMRT dam jialat ... but there's some good discipline drivers said SMRT good .
If one is discipline , yes sir type , any company also good , but SMRT is famous for their good service .
it's the maintenance and operation that is bad , but upstairs management is good la i think .
