00:00We have been informed by RTSO because RTSO is a joint venture between both Malaysia and Singapore or SMRT and Prasarana, so they will together determine the fair mechanism and I will speak to understand that they are doing the final market study to determine what is the right price.
00:25Of course, we hope that the right price mechanism is in place to ensure that it can encourage more people to use the RTSO.
00:33The whole idea of this project is to make the modal shift to ensure that more people use public transport to cross the crossway.
00:42So I think that is one of the important considerations when we determine the price mechanism.
00:48The most important is that you must have an open payment system.
00:51It means that you can have multiple modes of payment. You can use your credit card, your debit card and open payment system.
00:58Of course, in Malaysia, we have touch and go. I'm sure in Singapore, they have their payment system as well.
01:03All this should be taken into consideration and that the payment system should not be limited.
01:08I think that's the principle that we always stress for operators.
01:12While operating hours, we have not finalized yet. Again, this is operational issue to be determined by RTSO, the operator.
01:19But I think one principle which is very important is that no urban rail will operate 24 hours.
01:27Definitely, we need to have a few hours of engineering hours for normal maintenance.
01:32But I got what you meant. I think your point is that to make sure that it's time together with the working hours of workers crossing the crossway.
01:43Definitely, this is something that has to be determined and has to be taken into consideration by the operator.
01:50While we need to have a few hours of maintenance, but the starting hours for the workers especially.
01:58I will speak to understand workers from Johor travel to Singapore right now as early as before 5 AM.
02:04So that has to be taken into consideration.
02:07So definitely, I think when we come nearer to the operational date, then all these issues will be addressed.
02:20Which means that we don't have to be prepared for Mimi's help.
02:22Unless, you not want to intervene to assume the Quite For mate since some We want to pee that we start offering even more
