Network over capacity formula was created to force Singaporeans to accept population white paper.
So the gahmen built public transportation over capacity in preparation for 6.9 million population and now punishes the public transportation users with the cost of excess built in capacity by blaming the demanding public transportation users who demand fast availability of public transportation.
Think PAP wants to teach Singaporeans a lesson: if u demand more service, u get ready to pay for the excess capacity, if not, please don't complain about being packed like sardines.

Actually, sometimes I wonder if gullible Singaporeans are the scape goat of the PAP.
Actually the PAP built additional public transportation capacity because they wanted to achieve their 6.9 million population dream as defined in their white paper: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_White_Paper , but have found the perfect excuse in blaming Singaporeans for demanding better public transportation services, and thus use their so called network capacity factor as a big excuse to increase public transport fares by 9 cents across the board to teach Singaporeans not to complain/ demand so much. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/mrt-train-bus-fare-review-ptc-11981384
(or to force Singaporeans to accept the 6.9 million population what paper by sending the message that if population didn't increase, then cost of living would increase because insufficient users to share the burden of maintainence of the already built up public transportation system resources and infrastructure).
