S’poreans react to news that public transport fares to fall by 1.9% in GE2015 year
Posted on 03 August 2015
Three thoughts that must have went past your mind at some point.
Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said on Aug. 3, 2015, that bus and train fares will be reduced by up to 1.9 percent from December 2015. This is against the norm as prices are usually increased.
The reason for the lowering of fares was due to reduced fuel costs.
Minister Lui also said that every commuter group is expected to pay lower fares and the Public Transport Council will work out the specific reductions.
Here are three thoughts Singaporeans have:
“This is the reason why we should have General Election every year.”
— Ta Xuan, 40-year-old soya bean milk maker
“General Election will cause Singaporeans to run out of problems.”
— Mei Wen Tee, 60-year-old wholesale fruit seller
“This just proves the Public Transport Council is useless because the Minister’s word is the be-all and end-all.”
— Zuo Huang Di, 17-year-old jobless

1.9% ? 19% sounds more palatable.
No wonder Wooden Goh was afraid we will have no problems.
If we have erections every year, SGs will run out of problems.

To all stupid sinkie losers, your sinkie transport fees has been rising for the past 5 years , every year.
so what is this slight reduction of fares to stroke your balls a little to make you feel shiok.
It is like your ass has been abused hard by the PAP dicks for the past 5 years and now they say they will pull out half of their dick and shove it more gentle before their election.

Lest anyone go over the moon over this 1.9% reduction, let me remind you guys about the 5 April fare increase of 2.8%. Meaning, effectively there's been a net increase of 0.9% over last year, in spite of falling oil prices!

Public transport fares to increase by 2 to 5 cents from April 5
SINGAPORE - Bus and train fares will go up by 2.8 per cent from April 5, the Public Transport Council (PTC) said on Wednesday.
For adult commuters, this translates to an increase of between two and five cents per trip, depending on the distance travelled. Student concessionary fares will also increase by one cent.
Despite the hike, more than 1.1 million commuters will not see any changes in their fares. Senior citizen fares will remain the same, as will prices for existing travel concessions passes including student monthly concessions and the $120 adult monthly travel card.
Lower-wage workers and people with disabilities, who currently benefit from a Government travel discount scheme, will also not be affected by the fare hike.
"In approving the fare increase and deciding on the quantum, the Council made a concerted effort to minimise the impact on commuters, even to the extent of insulating some from the increase altogether," said PTC chairman Richard Magnus.
The two public transport operators - SBS Transit and SMRT - will make an additional $48.5m in revenue with the fare increase, but they will have to contribute $5.5 million and $8 million respectively to the Public Transport Fund. The Government will draw down $7.5 million from the fund to provide 250,000 vouchers of $30 each to low-income households.
For SBS Transit, this $5.5 million represents about 25 per cent of the additional fare revenue, while for SMRT, the $8 million they are setting aside accounts for about 30 per cent.
Mr Magnus also noted that the upcoming fare adjustment is lower than previous round's.
Last year, the PTC recommended fares to be raised by 6.6 per cent. But as this was deemed too much to be implemented in one go, only 3.2 per cent of the increase was implemented.
The outstanding 3.4 per cent increase was rolled over to this year. However, this was adjusted down to 2.8 per cent, due in large to falling energy prices.

If 19% then Desmond and his directors might as well go eat grass.
I rather leave the grass for horses to makan. Otherwise how to punt on horses? More worthy animals than Des and cronies. They should just eat shit and die.
A responsible and truthful ministar will explain why that is possible? SMRT CEO gets his pay double in two years. SMRT needs to spend more to fix the problems plaguing the system. So, where is the money coming from?
Why only 1 percent? Why not 20 percent?
