the new pricing of fares in public transport is a camouflage to profiteer and fleece the helpless peasants.
i share with my recent realisation about this hideous and disguise con job.
before implementation, my return fare from holland village to queensway taking bus No. 61 was 69c x2 = $1.38
yesterday with the start of the new fare system according to distance, from queensway to holland V, fare was 71c. but fr holland V back to queensway, it was 81c. total was $1.52
difference of increase: 14c
percentage of incease: slightly more than 10%!!!
DO NOT BE FOOLED!!
many are unwittingly being unfairly fleeced and yet, PTC is approving such dirty profiteering in a public transport monopoly.
too bad this isn't HONGKONG or there would be massive public protest. this is singapore and peasants are groomed to swallow every nonsene and wallow helplessly.
