LTY Lambasted Left Right Center On The Impending Transport Fare "Adjustment"

Why are taxpayers funding these transport companies when taxpayers don't get a share of the profits?
Use the money instead to build a public transit company that can be low cost and inject real competition in the market. SMRT and SBS are oligopolies that are doing the minimum. The way forward is to have a publicly owned and operated transit.

I see a resemblance.
No lah. Everytime I see Alfred E Neuman on cover of MAD magazine, I break out in pleasant laughter whereas the fuck face of Lui Tuck Yew never fail to make me tulan. One is adorable the other is horrible.
Yes, fully agree. But will the PAP ever going to do that? The whole aim of the PAP is to enrich their GLCs, the people's interests are way down its list of priorities. Only way is to vote them out. I really hope that more and more of the 60% will see the PAP for what it really is.

SINGAPORE: Adult card fares for buses and trains will increase by 4 to 6 cents per journey starting 6 April.
In addition, the government is introducing concession schemes - for low-income workers and persons with disabilities.
Low-income workers will enjoy 15 per cent discount off adult fares, and persons with disabilities will get 25 per cent discount.
Persons with disabilities will also not have to pay additional fares for distances beyond 7.2 kilometres.
About 400,000 low-wage workers and 50,000 persons with disabilities are expected to benefit from the two concession schemes in the first year.
The Public Transport Council will also introduce a new monthly unlimited travel pass for adult Singaporean and permanent residents, priced at S$120.
There will also be a S$60 new monthly unlimited travel concession pass for senior citizens.
Children below seven years old will get free travel.
In addition, polytechnic students will now enjoy the same monthly concession pass prices as secondary, junior college and Institute of Technical Education students.
Prices for polytechnic monthly concession passes will be brought down by between 44 and 47 per cent.
NSF monthly concession passes will also be lowered to the same price as university students.
Daily limit on rides for all train and hybrid monthly passes will also be removed.

Most people don't, but at the end of the day, the interests of transport companies' shareholders are more important.
My prediction was 100% correct average fare increase 3,2%.
