Most people in the country would opt to take public transport as compared to having a personal vehicle for transportation as the cost for maintenance for a personal vehicle is higher as compared to taking public transport. Recently, Comfort DelGro, the most dominant taxi company (with a total of 15439 taxis) in Singapore has opted to revise their taxi fares to meet the increased demand of taxis in Singapore without the consultation of consumers or taxi drivers. Taxi models by Comfort DelGro include Toyota Crown, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry and a Limousine model.

As they continue to grow, they’ll need to consider the costs associated with legal and regulatory fees of each new market they enter and factor accordingly. By structuring their fare on a per-distance basis over 11MPH/per-minute under 11MPH, they’re able to charge a premium and remain competitive with modern features and comfort. The application, choice of car, GPS driver tracking and ride sharing enable Uber to offer a modern, innovative take on metro transportation. Taxi companies are obviously opposed to the competition and are demanding that Uber and similar companies like Lyft and SideCar undergo the same regulations and annual inspections that they have to. Those costs vary and will typically need to be considered on a per market basis. Uber’s ride sharing offering has been well received by many large cities and commuters as it enables users to quickly find open carpools and split fares between other passengers. Being primarily web based allows for lower overhead and an overall smaller footprint. They have also launched several other programs in addition to their signature, luxury “Black” car service for mid-range and hybrid vehicles. With their low overhead and “green” initiatives, they’re able remain highly profitable and take advantage of tax benefits. Uber is...

...What is Ryanair’s strategy and why has it been successful so far? To survive in the highly competitive business, the firm should be position itself uniquely. In 1991, European still didn’t have a low-cost airline. Since the airfare is pretty high, only the upper-class that can afford the pricy ticket can accessible to this service. Ryanair’s strategy is to capture the middle-class customer, which are price sensitive, by lower the airfare to get more customer. Ryanair is also the first one who capture this market segment by dropped its fares to the level that people never seen before. It also gained popularity and easily capture market share since there is no direct competitor in this segment at that time. To be profitable with the lowest fare, Ryanair operates with highest cost efficiency. * Routes: Ryanair use the bargaining power to negotiate with the secondary airports to use the airports free of charge. The traffic at the airport are also not congested which will help to increase the flight turnover rate. * Reservation: The traditional reservation system was done by the agent and airline have to pay approximately 9% commission to the agent. Ryanair reduce the commission to 7.5%. Ryanair also have their own direct sell channel via call center and website to which is the distribution channel that it can capture 100% profit. * Ground and in-flight operations: Ryanair acquired air craft at very low price.

...Southwest Airlines runs a no-nonsense company. They have planned ahead to remove wasteful spending in all that they do. The first example is the fact that they use all Boeing 737 aircraft and only 4 models of that airplane. This gives them the ability to streamline their maintenance. Their mechanics can work on any aircraft with the minimum of necessary training. They can also carry a smaller cash of parts that can be used more broadly. They have a simple structure for selling airfare, discount to full fare. Discount fares are only sold on-line, which is most likely the cheapest venue for selling them and they are issued with restrictions. . They require oversized customers to purchase an extra ticket which they can have reimbursed should that action prove to not have been necessary. Specialty tickets are spelled out for the customer and explained fully on the website. Full fares are sold by phone. They do not serve food on their flights, only snacks and drinks. This allows them to simplify their hospitality staff and procedures. Drinks are not sold via cash, so they do not have to provide the extra security and accountability associated with carrying around cash. They have set a policy for bumping customers that is generous but straight forward. They do not subsidize other airlines and they have the service network and volume to make that work while still taking care of their customers. They have enumerated all their procedures for each contingency on their website...
