SINGAPORE: Public commuters may get the break many have been asking for this year.

Bus fares and train fares are coming down.

In light of the Budget announced Thursday, where a big focus was on helping companies cope with costs, public transport operators SBS Transit and SMRT have now said they will not apply for any fare adjustment this year.

In fact they are working with the Public Transport Council (PTC) to pass on savings they will receive from this year's Budget to commuters.

Welcoming the move, the PTC said in a statement released Friday all parties are committed to reduce bus and train fares for this year.

In light of the difficult economic times, the PTC will expedite its work.

It aims to announce the reduced bus and train fares by the end of next month.

So what do the great minds of this forum think about this?? I'm sure you guys can see through any evil scheme the PAP can come up with.

There is no evil scheme; if transport fares drop it's not because they understand how bad it is for the people but because elections are coming. Not that the recent "shower of love" for the people is bad; just very very unusual.

Right.

The evil scheme is simple indeed.

We are suppose to be thankful remember ? The PAPies is obviously trying to sweeten the grounds. The PAP will first sedate you with the press and then amputate your legs.

Then the mighty gods will watch us lesser mortal bleed and you just about have enough and on the brink of revolt, they will patch back your wounds and then remind you to be thankful.

But always remember this, You are still ONE FOOT shorter then the demigods always.
