Why would a profitable, well-managed railway company buy a bus service certain to see declining ridership in the next decade?
That is a question investors have been asking since SMRT, which operates Singapore' s mass rapid-transit system, announced a 194 million Singapore dollar (US$107.2 million) takeover bid for bus and taxi company TIBS Holding on July 9. It isn' t the first time investors have asked that question. The two companies did the merger dance in 1999 when then-private SMRT had intended to use publicly traded TIBS as a backdoor listing vehicle. That deal collapsed, analysts say, mainly because the price wasn' t right. Publicly, though, SMRT officials said they decided instead to seek a listing on the stock exchange first.
SMRT listed on the Singapore stock exchange in July 2000. Listing independently gave SMRT the advantage this time around of not overpaying for TIBS' s publicly listed status. So, in that sense, you could say that SMRT came out the winner in this deal. (The deal is pending approval from TIBS shareholders.)
But that still doesn' t answer why it makes good business sense for SMRT to buy TIBS. An obvious problem is that Singapore' s market is a small one. Even if transport companies diversify locally, " the growth of commuter traffic is pedestrian," says Kevin Scully, director of online investment adviser Netresearch-Asia.com.
With Singapore planning to build 540 kilometers (335 miles) of railway lines by 2030, bus service will likely dwindle in significance. Major bus routes will be made redundant. Buses would be used only as less profitable feeder services that take commuters the short distances from the train station to their homes, some analysts say.
TIBS recognized this a few years back and tried to expand into the rail business on its own. It sent its senior executives abroad for training in rail-line management. Its hopes to diversify were shattered two years ago when it lost a bid to its bus rival, Singapore Bus Services, to run the North-East railway line, which will cut diagonally through the central part of the country and shorten commute times for people coming in and out of the city for work from their housing developments.
The next lifeline for TIBS would be the bidding for the Marina line at the end of this year, but the first phase of the railway line won' t be completed until 2005, according to the Land Transport Authority. When completed, the Marina line will stretch from the city center to the eastern part of Singapore. When linked with other rail projects in the pipeline, it will be possible for riders to reach virtually all parts of the island-state without having to come all the way into the city.
TIBS appeared to have few choices in the long run, some analysts say. An analyst at a foreign investment house says with coverage of only 20% of Singapore' s bus network, " it can' t survive on its own." After all, Singapore Bus Services covers the remaining 80% of the island network. Only a merger, or allowing TIBS to run the more profitable train lines, can keep it in business.
