'Rewards also needed' to improve bus arrivals' LTY - ST by Royston Sim
Lui Tuck Yew explains rationale behind carrot-and-stick approach.
"With greater demands, there will be calls for greater injection of resources,
and so you are really trying to find a balance between incentive and penalty in order to arrive at a better situation than we have today."
Also, the model "is fair to all parties concern", he added.
New scheme for 22 bus in 2 yr:
1. For every 6 sec reduced from previous record waiting time, PTO gain upto $6000 per month
2. Vice versa, PTO lose upto $4000 for every 6 sec exceeded.

Are we paying the workers higher than average ? Should we pare the operating cost first before we talk about measuring performance and rewards. To give an analogy, a sprinter leg is injured and need treatment but he will not get it unless he runs faster. Is this reward or basic cost ?
The price has slide to 1.08. at current. With impending fare increases and sustainability model to be worked out, what is the safer level to enter ?
Rail operators SMRT and SBS Transit stand to face much heftier fines for train disruptions in future, after Parliament passed a Bill on Monday to raise the maximum penalty to 10 per cent of the annual fare revenue of a rail line.
That could be many times higher than the current cap of $1 million for each incident.

No problem one. Fares can always be reviewed to ensure Businesses are run profitability.
SMRT Alpha will have an additional 41,000 square metres of commercial retail space at the Singapore Sports Hub to operate in April 2014.
Currently their total lettable space is 36,779sqm which means they will have an additional 1.1x lettable space come april. I am estimating around 130m in operating profit p.a. for the Rental segment once the Sports Hub starts operating. It should be noted that Rental is their main profit driver accounting for 70% of their non fare business.
With the upcoming rise in fares, we can expect SMRT to minimize its losses in the fare segment. I think investors should be more focused on the Rental and Advertising part of SMRT's business.
130 millions of operating profit just on rentals?
How does the rental for sports hub works? Do they own the places?
