Arent public transport meant to be affordable?Only in Singapore
PTO goes for big profits..You compare with other
cities ah bro?Their basic salary almost everytime increase even for
low income workers and here….
To share perspective.
Each bus ride in Paris costs 1.9Euro, which is equal to 3.8 SGD
without benefit of transfering. If you transfer twice in Paris i.e.
3 journeys, you pay 5.7Euro which is 11 SGD. This could be a
person's one day travel cost or maybe even one way travel cost.
Even if you travel 1 stop or 10 stops, you pay the same.
NY city is similar. London is more expensive.
Quality of service in Singapore better than NY and Paris - may
be similar to London.
If you make already such huge earnings, it is also possible to
give hikes, right!?
Anyway, I am not advocating fare hike, it does not help
my pocket either since I travel so much with bus, for work as well
as joy riding. I am just putting into perspective that in
a way we are lucky with a wonderful transport network (most times)
and not having to pay too much.
