Hmmm... why did they raise the transfer rebate when they are saying that they will be implementing a through-fare system? Or is this the "through-fare system"? oO

So how? I pay less or more?

I know it's abit off topic, but anyway, some services will be withdrawn when the new MRT lines are ready but there is a chance that the Services will be kept due to commuter's protest to keep the Service. Service 147 was almost withdrawn due to NEL, but was kept due to commuter's protest and now Service 147 still sees good demand. Hope the same thing can happen for the CCL, etc.
