redstone SG And they want to penalise under paying passengers, fare cheaters. Also they themselves sometimes overcharge passengers! No action from Public Transport Council?
charlize SG Who are we to complain? We only take public transport. The people at the PTC who don't take public transport know what they are doing. We should just let them do their jobs. Really.
redstone SG Take underpaying passengers to court.... fine them.... jail them.... And yet we get long waits, overcrowded buses and MRTs (yes MRT too!). Being overcharged by transport companies! What is this world coming to?
sbst275 SG Well what can the PTC do? Dictate them? It is the responsibility of the bus co eventually to improve the bus sv
ndmmxiaomayi SG Sue them like what they did to underpaying passengers. But looks like chances are low. And we will probably be the first country to sue passengers for underpaying and passengers suing public transport for overcharging.
Agressor SG “Wanting them (operators) to solve the issue is a miracle.” (The Straits Time) This was quoted from the chairman of PTC. So we do not need PTC, we need only God because only God can do miracles.
meleagent SG When it comes to matters concerning fare increment, the PTC is fast on the trigger. But when it comes to matters concerning welfare of consumer, they give typical bullshit excuses
qooorange SG that's one example why i want more consumer rights. case is a toothless tiger... sometimes when u buy something and it turns out to be not what it seems to be, there's not much you can do except going to case and hope for the best.
ShutterBug SG It's rather obvious that their main and true concern, is to ensure that public transport operations, make reasonable profits. That's it. Busses will always be overcrowded so long the bus companies finds it too costly to add more busses to the route. Because if they ease our frustrations, they just add to their own. Logical? It's all about MONEY. Nothing else.
dragg SG frankly it is all for show only. they will never give a satisfactory answer. afterall they monopolised the market. what alternatives do we have? we are at the mercy of these people.
sinicker SG today, practically all trains towards city frm the west, east, north frm 6.45am-9pm everyday are all packed to the brim (i mean doors).
charlize SG Now close your eyes and imagine a Singapore with 7-8 million people, almost double what we have now. Do you think you can even reach the MRT station?
Cindyfeh SG I am trying my best to reduce the speed singapore become 7-8 million pupetlation, population i mean... by migrating out.
sbst275 SG Can I let you run SBS.. Then deploy buses very frequent until it is not making $$... End up you pump in your own $$ to support The only way to get away with all this overloading and long waiting, is to strictly enforce the bus lane. Cars are all using the bus lane during peak hrs
ShutterBug SG Stricter rulings on Bus Lanes, is not the key. It's ever increasing running and or operating costs. Generally termed, INFLATION.
sbst275 SG Not? Because you are denying... You might be those drivers that drive onto the bus lanes that causes long waiting or delays As for bus fare increases, it is all to do with the cost
sinicker SG more worse, frm Pasir Ris, by Tampines, ppl standing already. frm Boon Lay, at Boon Lay, ppl standing already.
iveco SG Fuel costs are one of thsoe factors. Sometimes I feel that public transit operators should get subsidised fuel.
