The Threat of new entrants as per Porter's Five Forces Analysis for the PTO – Public Transport operator in Singapore is considered low generally, since licenses of Rail has been continuously running for up to 30 years and for buses for 10 years, meaning there is almost no risks nor possibility of new entrants. Another reason would be the lack of chance for a new player of building up proficiency to convince the Regulator of the capability to run the transportation services.

Threat of substitutes in Singapore it is considered to be low to moderate. The various modes of public transport whether it was taxi, bus or metro are substitutes to each other, differentiating themselves from the following key factors cost, speed, connectivity, convenience, reliability and comfort. Although substitute modes of transport do exist, but as the Fare revenue segment of the public transport sector is a duopoly, the passenger is possible ending up using a mode of transport that is operated anyway by the same operator.
However, when it comes to Dubai the threat of substitutes is too high – this threat is reasonable since Dubai had introduced its modernized public transportation after the car has been spread that’s what it created another form of substitution and competition within cars and public
