Without a single doubt, the Public Transport Council (PTC) has granted approval a 1 percent increase to bus and train fares.
The good news of this bad news is that the amount of the raise is less than half of the 2.8 percent proposed by SBS Transit and SMRT. The 1 percent increase is equivalent to an additional two cents per trip for adults.
Those who opt to pay via cash will need to fork out an extra ten cents per journey. That is definitely a whole lot more.
It is reported in the news that 85 percent of commuters are affected by this fare increase. Well, they can put the blame on the 60.1 percent who marked a cross beside a lightning during the May elections.
Fares keep going up and up while service standards continue to deteriorate, Does this sound logical at all?
Please vote wisely for the upcoming Presidential Election (provided if there is more than one eligible candidate). It is our final chance to save ourselves and this country
