SMRT: "Income Opportunity" broadcast was from template! KNN!

[hurley]

for SMRT, "Income Opportunity" is standard template!! :oIo:

SMRT has apologised for a message it broadcast to its fleet of taxis on Thursday amid the chaos on the subway system.

The message, which flashed on its taxi drivers' screens at about 8pm, read: 'Income opportunity. Dear partners, there is a breakdown in our MRT train services from Bishan MRT to Marina Bay MRT stretch of stations.'

A photo of the screen - presumably taken by a taxi passenger - soon appeared on social networking site Twitter and spread online, drawing sharp criticism.

'Bad enough they are raising taxi fares, now they want to cash in on an event that is their fault to begin with,' said sales assistant Candice Tan, 24, one of the many who tweeted about it.

Attempts to contact the photographer were unsuccessful. The message, presumably sent by SMRT call centrestaff, would have reached all 3,100 taxis in its fleet.

An SMRT spokesman said on Thursday night: 'We are sorry for the oversight. Our staff were using a template message, and we have since corrected it.'

See? I was not wrong! It IS a big conspiracy! They screwed up the trains so you have to take their taxis so they can rip you off with their latest increases.

It is like knocking you with a car, then offering you medical service for a fee.

To be fair, I actually find SMRT quite sensitive to address the cab lessees as "partners".

Taxi drivers are more like slaves.

The central call staff should be commended for quick thinking and committment to enhancing the profits of the company. In my company, these will be my model employees!

From a business point of view, you are correct.

But not a nice thing to do especially they were at fault in the first place.

Bus drivers are called bus captains!

PAP Porlumpars are called grassroots!

Mediacorp actors/actresses are called artist! Popular ones are called celebrities!

Retired piece of old mother fucking whore shit given the name of senior, mentor & emeritus!

And the lists goes on!
