PTC to track affordability factor when deciding fare adjustments

By Dylan Loh | Posted: 17 July 2011 1928 hrs

SINGAPORE: Public Transport Council Chairman Gerard Ee said the "affordability factor" will be tracked when looking at fare increases proposed by Singapore's two main public transport operators.

Mr Ee, who was speaking on Channel NewsAsia's revamped discussion programme "Talking Point", said the council will not just "blindly" look at the fare adjustment formula.

He said the amount of money that people spend on public transport is monitored, and that over the last few years, a smaller proportion of household income is being spent on public transport.

On a suggestion that operators wean themselves from oil dependence by exploring eco-friendly technology, Mr Ee said it's something that can be looked into.

"The use of electric buses and all that, it will come. It will definitely be there and we are very close to that event. Technology is improving very rapidly and I'm looking forward to the day where we have cleaner environment through the use of electric vehicles," said Ee.

Viewers can catch the new season of "Talking Point" on Sunday night at 10.30pm, Singapore/Hong Kong time.

For a person who drives Lexus and the rest of his family drives only top end cars..

What does a person like Ee knows about "Affodability Theorem" based on the pay a typical Sinkie peasant earn?

He might as well talk about the "Relativity Theorem" created by Einstein to ordinary Sinkie folks.

Ya, Singapore packed train is like his fatty vein covered with fats. Look at his weight, he will complain to the surgeon why it takes so long for his fat to filter out of his lazy meat to ensure smooth flow of blood or should we said it is wheather the blood want to squeeze through the thick vessel, it has the option.

or how Quantum Mechanics work to kindergarden children, his own success works on the "Sycophantic Theory"

one 'affordability' clown already kicked out, now another one, sigh. Singapore cannot 'afford' to have too many clowns working for the garmen.

What a load of CRAP! The word AFFORDABILITY FACTOR should be BANNED, what these idiots should be looking at is VALUE for MONEY in the transport computation for fares.

1. To the lowest income group, a 5 cents per trip increase would mean 5cents being spent less on either food or other essentials to pay for transport fare increase in order to AFFORD travel to and from work. The only other alternative being NOT using public transport altogether.

2. There is also the multiplier effect of transport fare increases flowing on to School Bus operators also raising their fares, taxis, lorries carrying food to hawkers/supermarts etc jacking up their prices thereby affecting all consumers like retirees on fixed incomes who may not use public transport.

Gerard Ee is just another 'FRONT MAN' of the PAP play acting as the GOOD GUY but really doing all the dirty work for the PAP. Singaporeans should really teach the greedy transport operators a lesson like a massive boycott for a week and make them lose $$$, because $$$ is the only LINGO these goons understand.

Gerard Ee 's "AFFORDABILITY THEOREM " . No More " Big Balls Theorem ".
