Don't expand anymore then no more excuses to increase.

 

Then they change formula to say spare parts expensive.  [laugh]

hahaha.....sure increase wan! With the push for carlite making own transport including motorcycle an expensive proposition, public transport ridership can only increase and with that increase in demand it can only result in higher fares......go full circle for what?......just increase lar....no need to beat around the bushes and give excuses they themselves create.

 

action action first mah.

 

high SES committee you know.  [:p]

I wondered why they bother with all these consultant, surveys,committee.

 

The pattern is always the same, want to increase nothing in this universe can stop them.

 

 

I cannot understand they keep saying need more money need more taxes help the poor.

There was 3 decrease in fare.

 

The only factor that PTC included is Network Capacity Factor.

 

I took DTL from Geylang Bahru to Expo and it cost me 1.40.

 

How much cheaper do you guys expect it to be?

Each citizen already put in 3k from last year's surplus into the transport system. The question should be how much more do they need?

Move towards lesser population.

Since when is enough for them?

 

Fare has been increasing almost every year since the 1990s.

Move towards lesser population? Dont think it will ever happen liao. Last heard think they are still continue to increase the population here but at a slower pace only. They always emphasis aging population, so if dont increase the population here, we will be in trouble in future?!

Precisely what i trying to mean. No matter which line you take, nowadays even off peak also no seat.

They are not prepared with the aging population problem in the past and now shoving their problems into our throats. 

 

With automation happening in many of the jobs in future to spur the economy faster than human labor, why are we still bound at the obsolete idea that more people is good when more people is actually a problem instead? More people is not going to be sustainable either. I don't want to pay more taxes or serve NS for a country when half of the population are not its people born and grow up here.

 

Just look at how many jobs are going to lose to automation just in the airport alone.

They find it is 'fair' for people to pay for new mrt lines, new buses, new hospital and new airport, as there is no free lunch in this world de. And if you want good standard of service and reliable public transport, you also have to pay for it.  [rolleyes]
