Sit easy, have a Kit Kat and allow me to backtrack for you.
In July, SMRT and SBS submitted a joint application for fare adjustment. They sought a total increment of 2.8% to upkeep service standards.
Wary of the May election’s furore over increasing costs of living, however, the Public Transport Council only approved the fare hike allowing it to escalate by 1%.
We celebrated. We thought the government is finally listening and we can look forward to a better 5 years. Viva la revolucion!
Except there’s also this good old Chinese saying that goes: One cent money, one cent worth.
