 I share my experience using the Simply Go app. To summarize, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience. The app was badly designed and contained bugs.

 The Ministry of Health wants to set up a not-for-profit hospital. I do not like this concept. I suggest a different approach to address the underlying problem.

 The cost of hospital care for premature babies should be handled through social insurance, and not by the parents or through private insurance.

Apps developed by organizations

 I have more than 50 apps on my mobile phone. Most of them are not necessary.

The wasteful ones are the apps developed by government agencies and the commercial companies, such as those that provide banking, telephone, utility and other services.

Here is an alternative that is easier for customers, reduces the development cost of the organizations and reduce the scams that is quite common.

Mathematics of bus routes

 I explain the mathematics of replacing the trunk bus services with a new system of services with fewer stops. It allows the bus system to operate more efficiently, but the passengers have to make more transfers.

 BYD sold more electric vehicles than Tesla during the last quarter of 2023. It overtook Tesla to be the market leader. However, its stock price fared worse than Tesla during the past 6 months.

Inexpensive taxi service

 I suggest that COEs for taxis and private hire cars be free, and that a larger quota be provided. This will reduce the price of taxi rides, and encourage some people to use taxis instead of owning a private car.
