40% Increase in Bus Fare! FUCK FAPEE SCAMSTERS!

[phouse3]

The reverse is also true - "Commuters who are paying less now should look at fares over time, removal of transfer penalty is a one-off event."

Also, please open your eyes:
SMRT fare-card
* Minimum Fare: up from 68c to 71c
* Maxium Fare: up from $1.82 to $1.94
* Maximum Distance Cap : up from >32.0 km to >40.2km
* Additional Fares Introduced: 12 new distant-based fares ranging from $1.83 to $1.94, increment of 1c.

1c increment for introductory distant-based travel is small beer. But in future, when the increment goes up to 2c, 5c or even higher, you will be paying through your noses.

Just to refresh your memory in case you have forgotten the pain. 3% introductory GST is small beer. But 5%, 6%, 7% are not. 9% and higher in the future will kill you.

This cheebye forgot that she was elected by her constituency to fight for them. Instead she is an apologist for SMRT and defends them when they fuck over her constituents. Uniquely singapore.

 

[no_faith]

she can stay in her postion because she is loyal to her master.
constituents? who?

"Commuters who feel they are paying more under the distance-based fare system should look at fares over time, instead of how much they are paying per trip."

I dun get dis...fare over time?? 1 trip i pay 20cents more, 1 day 2 trip, 40 cents more... 1 week 5 days $2 more... 1 mth $8 more... how 2 make the formula -ve fig instead of +ve... Sori i aw fail math last time...:o

yes, this sentence is giving me a headache. can someone please elaborate or give an example of what she means by - "Commuters who feel they are paying more under the distance-based fare system should look at fares over time, instead of how much they are paying per trip."

i dont take bus or mrt so i can't figure it out.

 

[Microsoft]

yes, this sentence is giving me a headache.

I guess wat she mean ish...u pay more fare in rtn u cut traveling time by using de shortest route...dunno whether tat wat she mean onot...

Most of those who take public transport naturally, oredi take de shortest route...it isn't quite possible to take another shorter route 2 save cost...cb lah think we better learn how 2 bend space n time...

 

[wrcboi]

40%?????thats tooo little...sinkies are rich...they are hard working tooo...need to pay 10k??they will work hard day and night to earn 12k to pay..no question ask.......


i reckon just increase by 100% or 200%....then see after election how many sinkies still sleeping....

 

[phouse3]

It is called sleight of hand.

You pay more for single trips. You pay less for transfer trips. Using a priori knowledge of our spoke and hub transport system, she knows transfer trips are more likely to happen than single trip over time. So you pay less overall.

In my one upmanship, I am saying that in future fare revisions, there won't be any more removal of transfer penalties to offset higher fares.

 

[Sperminator]

40% Bus Fare Increase.

Wow, is it due to fuel prices increase?

Or is it due to inefficient practices?

Or is it due to big pay packages for the fat cats?

The meaning of PUBLIC transport is "PUBLIC"

Why would it even want to consider this basic infrastructure to operate with huge profits?

Anyways, everyone now just have to pay 40% more for their existing transportation fares... and best of all, how come no big hoo haa??? no one write in to complain??? etc... ???

More good years to come... more like more ass fucking ahead.

Example 1:

Before:
$1.21 (190) (12 stages) + $0.91 (153) (5.5 stages) - $0.50 (transfer rebate)

And all the while when AssMRT and AssBAss are announcing RECORD PROFIT of hundreds of millions year after year. Is the Familee Sell Country Thieves so hard up for Gambling Fund? And if they win, the profits go into their secret coffer. If they lose, the loss will be charged to Sporns' account. Donch you feel like tearing this CCB wicked Leegime apart?

This person sounds really captious..

Honestly, the problem is not with "fee raises" but with the fact that no one has power to override the SMRT's decisions to hike fares every now and then. And since many depend on solely SMRT in their daily lives, they have no alternatives to fall back on. It's quite nonsense that SMRT and SBS work together to screw consumers.

If anything, SBS should drop their prices to attract more riders to jump over to SBS but however again, they don't compete on many many routes.

If there are any good lawyers in Sinkapore, they will file an anti-trust lawsuit against these 2 fuckers.


So you get screwed again and again. Nothing new. This is a common problem that most sinkies have to face all the time. Same for starhub/singtel World cup thing, electricity tariff issues.

Lets be fair about bus fares, with the increase it still remains 'Affordable'; comparing with neighbouring 3rd countries, theirs are 'Cheap cheap cheap'.

Which equation says that by paying more one is in fact benefiting, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua must be thinking most Leeaporeans are all born this morning, like me.

Aiyah!..you beat me by a nose to the winning post... "AFFORDABLE"

of course she is part of the People's Affordable Party...don't worry , baby!...some 'balm' ( like the GST credits...caSINoes gift fund) will be dished out soon...

to pay for your AFFORDABLE transportation distance fares....

don't worry baby!!
