Big money in Little India.. but big headaches too


Twelve buses, each seating 40 passengers and each making two trips, ferry about 960 foreign

workers from their dormitories at various parts of the country to Little India every Sunday.

And that is only the number from one bus company.

Xing Sheng Transport Services owner Lim Yong Long's buses cater to only a fraction of the South Asian

nationals who flock to the ethnic neighbourhood each Sunday.

Ms Zhang Li, the administrative manager at the Singapore School Transport Association (SSTA), said the

150 buses under it ferry as many as 20,000 foreign workers to and from Little India every Sunday.

And there are big bucks involved. Buses under SSTA charge between $4 and $6 per round trip.

Do the maths: 20,000 passengers, with each passenger paying an average of $5 for a round trip, comes to $100,000.

And the 20,000 is only the number from one association.

we have more than 1 million FWs in SGP .


assuming just 50,000 Indians workers take private busess and pay S$5 round trip per sat


we have S$250,000 fares each Sat .


put in Sun we have S$250,000 x 2 = S$500,000 (Sat n Sun )


Per month = S$500, 000 x 4 = S$2 million per months

Per year = S$2 million x 12 = S$24 milllion


Indian FW s spent S$24 per year just on Private Buses !

I guess those shops rentals are not cheap,those owners are laughing every month

 

[Yip Hon]

of the 1.5 million FWs in SGP say 750 ,000 FWs are from India ( the balance 750,000 spread chinese , Blanga , Philp , Myanma ,

sri lanka )



Little India = FWs ( india ) their second Home !!!

 

[Yip Hon]

if each of the 750,000 FWs ( indian ) just spent S$150 per month at Little India


they give businesses there S$112.5 million (per mth ) and S$1.35 Bn per year .

paiseh lor... levy is collect on a monthly basis. and amount is depend on industry and skill level. the range can be as low as $250 to as high as $750. taking average of $400 x 1 million x 12 months, govt would have receive at least S$5b a year.
