MacDuck 1st Gear February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 Taken from http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../410037/1/.html Singapore: EZ-Link bus and train fares will be lowered from April 1. The Public Transport Council (PTC) announced Thursday that there will be an overall 4.6% reduction in fares, comprising both a fare rebate and an increase in transfer rebate. The transfer rebate for all adult and senior citizen concession EZ-Link journeys will be increased by 10 cents, to 50 cents from 1 April 2009. The existing 10-cent transfer rebate for child/student concession EZ-Link fares will remain unchanged. However, all adult EZ-Link fares for buses and trains will enjoy a reduction of 2 cents per trip, across all fare bands. As for child/student concession EZ-Link fares, these will be reduced by 1 cent per trip, across all fare bands. This balances out to lower fares overall. In addition, the prices of all monthly concession passes will be reduced by between $1 and $4. There is no change to all cash fares for buses and all single-trip ticket fares for trains. -CNA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightbringer 6th Gear February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 Profits from public transport companies should be re-channelled into subsidies for the lower-strata segment of society, instead of being hoarded. f--king vultures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcslim Neutral Newbie February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 What a BIG reduction! When price increase last time, it is always minimum 3-4 cents. now only reduce by 2-cent. Remembered they receive 30% cut in road tax, but now only reduce price by 4.6%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab4games 1st Gear February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 2 cents/trip == 4 cents/day 4 cents x 30days.... = $1.20 [rolleyes] if they overcharge each ez-link card each month, they can get back more than the reduction in fares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
