Ho seh ah - fares to increase again; never mind the oil price drop

In the old days they would blame phantom fare cheats or increasing petrol prices for fare increases. Nowadays there are no fare cheats or rising petrol prices. You don't even see the bus inspectors anymore. They are also using cheap 3rd world labor from China.

There is no justification for regular fare increase fares except to increase profits. As a Sporean we are getting more reasons to kick theses parasites out e.g. failure to return our CPF, overcrowding, mismanagement of the transport system, dengue which is caused by overcrowding, flooding, riots, ...

If the PAP wants to get involved in all these businesses it is only fair that they get all the blame when things go wrong.

I can seriously tell you that if they gave all sinkie citizens lifetime free bus and MRT rides and only charge the 2 million FTs full fare or more to ride the transport system, they will still not lose money.

Last year in November the Public Transport Council (PTC) proposed fare increases by 6.6 per cent in 2 phases - 3.2 per cent from April this year, and 3.4 per cent from next year.

For materialistic people, money is never enough.

The public transport companies in Sinkieland are profit-maximising entities. They are not charities.
