The STOMPer said:

"While waiting for a bus, I checked the next bus' arrival timing.

"The bus service that just left the stop (80) will only arrive again in 39 minutes.

"And they still have the cheek to raise fares?"

The rise in fares is not to 'improve' their service to the consumers but to INCREASE their profits that will benefit the STAKEHOLDERS ( now a current MIW word).

KNN...which MIW is the one who coin this word? He got pass his air-levels or not?

go google stakeholders --> and it includes customers - they might as well stick to shareholders / stock holders.

This useless Fat fuck Gerard Ee will suck on the balls of this fuck face Lui Tuck Yew and both of these scumbags will then agree that the fare increase is justified...

40 min or 1 hour, it does not matter at all to these PAP scums, for 60% CB kias had gave them the mandate to screw Sporeans's asses for the next 5 years..

see..its already confirmed and stamped...just wait for signature for press release.

heh,actually, if they can convert the points from passion card or ntuc link points into levy for entering casino, how nice hor???
maybe, they should convert the points into credit in the ez-link for taking public transport.

 

[sta1100]

Can why not, they increase, you pay, you wait. $$$ in their pocket your problem

 

[red amoeba]

go buy their shares better...be a sulky stakeholder but a happy shareholder.

PAP would never make hasty decisions about $$$ & their own pocket. The decision for all the hikes was probably decided before the GE & rolled out after. This is the same formula they have used in the past

see the gov do not want an effective transport system

why do they want to do that?

if everyone use public transport

where are they going to find the carrot head to buy 20k -40k for a piece of paper??

who is going to buy the car which is heavily taxed and petrol .

it does not pay for gov to improve the public transport. it pay to push some people to pay good money for nothing.

that is pap thinking, if you want to understand their policy, you have to understand Money. it is a gov to make money.
