Transport Fares Increase Rant
Saturday, April 30, 2005
Audio : Listen

Haiz, one of the most profitable monopolies on this island is thinking of increasing fares again! (ST 30/4/05)

Substandard and rude drivers (becos underpaid? Low incentives?), train delays caused by network problems, old and jerky buses ... Are they going to justify the increase with these services they provide?

Or are they going to rely on the sole reason that economy is picking up? The last time they increased during the economic slowdown, they said that there's no good or bad time to raise fares.

The only people who is going to get it hard is those in the lower income group while those decision-makers (who drive cars anyway) care only for the bottom-line and how to line their own pockets (see ST 30/4/05: SMRT profits jumps 42% to record $127M, Money S31)

Ahh... the light have finally shone!

First off, welcome my friend! Thank you for taking the interest in this puny little corner of mine.

This entry really reminds me... have I calculated the expected increase in travel costs for getting to work? Should I still rely on the NEL or consider getting a car instead then? Hmm... I wonder what would be raised next.

Kaypoh a bit - the people who 'ma·neu·ver' buses are called 'CAPTAINS' hor! Haha! Better to be correct. Duh! :)
