Why after injecting $1.1 billion, bus fare still increase

All politicians treat the electorate like dirt and NZ is no exception. They too let in all sorts of scum into the country and the taxpayer then has to pay for their benefits.

The NZ politicians don't use toothpicks. They use dental floss. However, there are many crooks in NZ parliament. One was recently caught stealing from his own mother!

I decline to dignify what you said by saying more than this reply.

For reasons of your own chosing, you want to regard PAP maggots cockroaches as politicians when they are not politicans but scum of society.
Brownshirts of Hitler are closer to politicians than those wearing white with that bolt of lightning in Stinkapore

Next you will say those writing in and for Straits Times are journalist when people working for Joseph Goebbels are closer to being journalists than those crooks in Straits Times

Next you might even say law and justice exist in Stinkapore in the guise of those corrupt kangaroos

Talking with you on politics trivialised the brutality of smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY inflicted on Singaporeans.

Recently, an attempted auction of Bansky works "Banality of ‘The Banality of Evil’ got me to remember just what the 'Banality of ‘The Banality of Evil’ is all about.

Paraphrasing that into the context of singapore and LKY it is below

A generalization which suggests that conscious, willful, knowing evil is irrelevant or virtually nonexistent: that the form evil most often assumes, the form evil took in LKY’s Singapore, is that of faceless little men following evil orders, that this is a more intellectual, more interesting evil, anyway-old-fashioned evil being the stuff of childish fairy tales, something intellectual sophisticates feel too refined to acknowledge. Either that or too sheltered to have glimpsed.

Go read the rest of that yourself.

Or go and sing your fucking hosannas to LKY and all his fucking stooges hell bent on raping and screwing sinkies like never before.

As encore, you can sing hosannas to Hitler after that.

In countries where bus drivers are paid $60k per year, the bus trips are ridiculously expensive. In NZ, it would cost me almost $15 to town and back. I can make the same journey by car and pay for 4 hours of parking and still come out on top.

That's because you have more sheep than human. Unless your sheep can take a bus, they need to charge higher....

By the way, how much does a car cost in NZ vs. SG? Try driving a car to town and back + parking in Singapore. I pay $9 in ERP before I park my car every morning.

Well they got to re-coup the 860 millions spent on the new expressway.

Ayah! Bus company needs money. The top guns are paid high salary. If they screw up, the fine is paid by the bus company. No choice but to raise bus fares

SMRT CEO is still going to get his big bonus ...he will meet the metrics that he drew up. Never mind that hitting those metrics have no benefit to the commuters.

To this day, I am still wondering how raising GST can help the poor as well.

It helps the poor by depriving them of basic necessities which they can barely afford to start with and with the increase of GST, the govt helps them eliminate to desire and the ability to procure any basic necessities!
