QUOTE(MR_alien @ Aug 21 2025, 07:39 AM) HSR cannot be cheaper We all know these endeavors lose money. But why do it in the first place ? To serve people's needs to travel and stimulate economic growth.if u priced it cheaper, it's gonna be an even worse bailout like i mentioned many times before, almost no HSR in this world break even...all will need bailout but malaysians keep wanting it built here  it's a nice thing to have if you have extremely excess amount of money like china  If the ticket is expensive, you serve no one and lose money If ticket is affordable, you serve people and lose money. So which is the objective? This post has been edited by killdavid: Aug 21 2025, 07:52 AM |

QUOTE(hoonanoo @ Aug 21 2025, 08:27 AM) our national budget deficit is large. Hello friend, we talking about Indonesia case. Already built. So what next ?our tax rates are lowest, only 10% pay taxes our SST can't do shit. Petronas revenue down. you want to add more to the national debt with a HSR ? sure stimulate economy, but how much revenue in terms of taxes can that bring in? Its difficult to forecast. |

QUOTE(DarkNite @ Aug 21 2025, 08:42 AM) Next is become the classic example of pitfalls of HSR, amount of debts expected and what to avoid? Please give the solution to this conundrum.If the ticket is expensive, you serve no one and lose money If ticket is affordable, you serve people and lose money. When people judge it is more viable to take the bus than ECRL, then what revenue are you making ? Are you serving people or creating more carbon footprint and wasting energy ? |
