Quote:A small correction, actually 2 operators. SMRT and SBST.
Good life? IMO, SMRT is dealing with more demanding commuters (customers) compare with Tokyo.
They both the same thing lah under LTA. If you want to compare is still less competition.
Tokyo with 12 million population has 13 operators that's 1.2 for every 1 million population.
So our 5.1 million should be getting 5.1 x 1.2 = 6.12 operators that's 3 times less competition that they are facing.
3 times less competition is not good life?

According to the article SMRT carried 70 passengers per km 60 more than tokyo.
So implying that train operators in tokyo are carrying only 10 passengers per km. So if there was only 1 operator and not 13 in tokyo, that figure will rise to 130 passengers per km nearly twice SMRT can we assume that?
