IMO, SBST raising fare is understandable. In recent years, they
have given us better service than SMRT. THey bought new buses to
renew their fleet, introduced more initiatives such a Fast Forward
services and more. 
But for SMRT...i really think there is no excellent reason to
support the hike. Their bus services deproved. No new buses are
bought. No new services introduced. Buses not maintained well.
Trains come at a too long frequency. They also built more new
retail outlts which will bring them much more money. SMRT is a
profit based money, not at all a customer based company
