Key changes in this note Concerns on ride-hailing disruption to taxis alleviated No changes Investors concur with CD’s view that both Grab and Go-JEK may have shifted their key growth emphasis from ride-hailing to other businesses such as insurance and mobile payment, which would bode well for CD’s Singapore taxi business. Likewise, we think the Price Close Relative to FSSTI (RHS) likelihood of ride-hailing competition intensifying hereon is slim.

EFA Platform Public Transportation │ Singapore ComfortDelGro │ March 7, 2019 Key takeaways from Kuala Lumpur NDR Taxi business looks set for gradual recovery Mild competition from ride-hailing firms We observed that since Go-JEK (Unlisted) cut its cash incentives in Jan 2019, its peak-hour fares have risen from about S$20 on average in Jan (based on 10.4km mileage) to S$22-24, matching closer to Grab’s (Unlisted) rates during peak hours. While this could bring about better gross fare earnings for Go-JEK drivers, it could also slow down or deter new users from joining its ride-hailing platform, in our view. Overall, we still think the operating environment for CD’s taxi business has largely stabilised in the absence of aggressive price undercutting and drivers’ incentives from Grab or Go-JEK. Taxi ridership: 70% from street hails Street hails on roadsides and taxi-stands accounted for about 60-70% of CD’s taxi ridership in Singapore in FY18, according to management. Taxi bookings also enjoyed robust growth of 7-8% yoy in FY18. We think that in general, CD’s taxi drivers are still able to get more rides (from street hails in addition to app bookings) than Grab or Go-JEK drivers and thus, potentially have better earnings than private hire-car drivers. We had highlighted this in our earlier note on 31 Jan 2019: 60 days after Go-JEK’s soft launch…. Fleet replacement could lift rental income... We believe newer taxi hybrid models could fetch daily rental rates of c.S$120 vs. S$80-90 per day for some older diesel models. Thus, replacing older models without a net expansion in fleet could still lead to better taxi earnings for CD, in our view. Based on historical data (including new taxi registrations and de-registrations) from the Land Transport Authority (LTA), we estimate that about 930 or 5% of the taxis in Singapore are aged six to eight years, assuming only older taxi models aged six years and above were scrapped in the past few years. Given that CD commands about 60% share of Singapore’s taxi fleet as of Dec 2018, we think its orders for 600 new hybrid models, which it expects to take delivery of in the next few months, could replace almost, if not all of its taxis that are already aged six years and above (note that the statutory life span of taxis in Singapore is eight years). 2 Public Transportation │ Singapore ComfortDelGro │ March 7, 2019 Figure 1: About 5% of taxis (c.930) in Singapore are aged 6 Figure 2: Age demographics of taxis in Singapore, based on our years and above as at end-Dec 2018, based on our estimates estimates 14,000 2018 38% 57% 5% 12,000 10,000 2017 46% 49% 5% 8,000 0.5% 48% 6,000 21% 2016 44% 40% 16% 4,000 2,000 17% 2015 42% 44% 14% 9% 4% 0 0.5% 6 - < 8 yrs 3 - < 6 yrs < 3 yrs 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 Hybrid taxis Non-hybrid taxis Electric taxis < 3 yrs 3 - < 6 yrs 6 - < 8 yrs SOURCES: CGS-CIMB RESEARCH, LTA SOURCES: CGS-CIMB RESEARCH, LTA … and at lower costs Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) for Cat A Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) was on a downtrend in recent years and closed at about S$26,000 as at Dec 2018, well below the S$38,000-71,000 level seen in 2011-2012. This suggests that CD would be purchasing new and replacement taxis this year at much lower costs than taxis purchased 6-8 years ago.

  • Public Transport Facilities and Traffic Control Measures in Singapore
    Legislative Council Secretariat IN08/13-14 INFORMATION NOTE Public transport facilities and traffic control measures in Singapore 1. Introduction 1.1 Singapore is the first city in the world to make use of Electronic Road Pricing ("ERP") system for managing road congestion. In recent years, Singapore has also installed a number of user-friendly public transport facilities, such as air-conditioned integrated transport hubs and the Intelligent Route Information System ("IRIS"), to facilitate the use of public transportation. The purpose of this information note is to provide the Panel on Transport with background information on the salient features of public 1 transport facilities and traffic control measures in Singapore. 1.2 The study of Singapore should shed light on the transport-related policy initiatives that can be considered for solving Hong Kong's traffic congestion problem and enhancing the quality of the local public transport facilities. As to the latter, the air quality inside public transport interchanges ("PTIs") has been an area of particular concern for the general public. Many PTIs are located under the podiums of residential or commercial complexes and surrounded by structural columns or walls. The accumulation of air pollutants within these PTIs may pose risks to the respiratory health of both drivers and passengers alike. 2. Singapore 2.1 The Land Transport Authority 2 ("LTA") implemented the ERP system as early as in 1998 to manage road congestion. Based on a pay-as-you-use principle, motorists are charged when they use priced roads during peak hours. In recent years, LTA has complemented its ERP system with the development of Intelligent Transport Systems ("ITS") as another traffic control measure in Singapore.

Selected train stations will also see a new Priority Queue, to ensure that passengers in need are able to enjoy lift facilities more easily. Care Stickers to Encourage Good Travel Etiquette “Our bus and train services carry over 2.5million commuters every day and among them are some who might need some extra care. While passengers are generally courteous and are willing to offer seats to those in need, we feel that a sticker could help commuters identify and extend care more easily, particularly to expectant mothers, senior citizens, parents travelling with infants, commuters with mobility needs and unwell passengers” said Mr. Alvin Kek, Vice President, Rail Operations, SMRT Trains. He added that “the stickers will help us all ensure that we can easily spot passengers in need. But we do also hope that commuters will continue to extend care to others in need even if they are not wearing a care sticker.” Commuters may approach staff at all SMRT Passenger Service Centres along the North-South East-West and Circle Lines, and SMRT Bus Interchanges (Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Sembawang, Woodlands and Yishun) for a Care Sticker that corresponds with their special needs.

  • The Singapore Land Transport Master Plan 2013 – a Review by Pwc 2 Introduction
    The Singapore Land Transport Master Plan 2013 – A Review by PwC 2 Introduction The Singapore Land Transport Authority (“LTA”) has published its new Land Transport Master Plan that sets out its vision for land transport in Singapore for the next 20 years. This vision is that by 2030, Singapore will have: • 8 in 10 households living within a 10 minute walk from a train station; • 85% of public transport journeys (less than 20km) completed within 60 minutes; and • 75% of all journeys in peak hours undertaken on public transport. In this paper PwC reviews the key features of the Master Plan, the major investment projects which are planned for the future and assesses which companies can benefit from the Authority’s Plans. The Singapore Land Transport Master Plan 2013 – A Review by PwC 3 Overview of the Master Plan The LTA has developed the Master Plan to respond to what it describes as a changed environment from when the previous Master Plan was published in 2008. Three key changes to the environment are laid out: • Increased expectations of a better quality of life and correspondingly an improved travel experience; • An increased ‘demand for transport’, driven by a larger economy and greater population; and • Tighter land constraints. These three factors show that the LTA cannot develop their Master Plan in isolation and they have Better quality of life complemented their own analysis and policy development with input from other sources including: • Other government policies such as Population Policy (see Page 7), Land Use Policy and government forecasts for economic growth for the economy as a Larger economy whole and growth within individual sectors; and and population • Citizens of Singapore – Building on the government’s engagement with the people through the ‘Our Singapore Conversation’, the LTA established a website to gather views and opinions from the people that use Singapore’s public transport system every day.
