public transport in OZ costs a freaking $2.70 FOR a 2 hour
ticket in suburban areas. and u can only use it on bus,trams and
trains for 2 hours and it expires.
which means for people commuting to work from the morning and
returning in the evening, it costs $6.50.
and most people travel to city to work and that is $3.30 for a 2
hour ticket
A$3.30/2hr to A$3.50 at the beginning of 2008, and even more for
daily/weekly/monthly tickets. (You don't get charged per trip like
in Singapore, so even if you're just making a one-way journey,
you've got no alternative than to fork out more than three bucks).
Did my salary go up? No, my taxes did, thanks to Kevin Rudd. And
interest rates have gone up. The fare rise is a bigger increase
than S$.03 that everyone gets up in arms about. And what do we get
for it? Trains still get cancelled. Trams still change their
service at the last minute.
and once i was stuck in a not so safe area after 10. The last
tram was supposed to arrive at 10.20 according to the bloody
timetable - it didnt and in oz there is this number to call on your
mobile to find out the next tram arrival, to my horror it
stated the next tram is in the morning. Wtf ??!!
singapore welcomes one of her very own homies with open
arms.
pls come home, come home to daddy lee.
