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.

The PTC is suppose to approval fare increases.. not fare reduction... also the statement that the pap is helping with rising costs by not applying for fare adjustment this year...

the bloody ball carrying media does try very hard to please the pap with such distorted reporting...

So.....bad times they can afford to reduce price.
Good times...........they leech you.
So you see, they can afford to bring it down.......
They are damn greedy. SMRT n SBS Transit are in cahoots with PTC.

Another thing, can the polys organise a price protest since u all
are paying adult fares. All sissy really, the Student Unions

Sometime i feel that these Greater Mortals keep slapping their own face.

Last time 1 of them said no need give bank deposit guarantee because here we are very stable, then within a short period they announce give 100% guarantee.

Recently another one said cannot lower transport fare anymore even though the oil price is at new low, the previous hike has got nothing to do with oil price. Then today they announce they going to reduce fare.

Do they actually know where their own ministry is heading or actually they have no idea at all, because they are just waiting for the Supreme Mortal to give order?
