Wanda SG The last fare hike was last yr? So we can expect next fare hike next yr also....while they continue to make increasing millions of $$ of profits.
Wanda SG Eh...can you also show the old fare structure for comparison? If it's not too much to ask, pls also show for MRT and NEL (both old fare and new fare structures) pls.
sbst275 SG Actually to think of it, we are still not that worst hit, the worst hit are the low income who are actually the ones paying 20c more cash fare
sbst275 SG See the diff bet card and cash fare They claimed 5% ppl pay cash, but they've forgotten to find who are the 5%
Wanda SG Lucky I don't take feeder bus all the time...mostly walk unless carrying heavy stuff. Can't imagine my friend who lives in JW and works in town...she spends more than $2++ one way. I spend about $1.10.
sbst275 SG Sometimes I suspect take Express bus even cheaper and could even be faster than feeder bus - MRT But that's what they want
Wanda SG Yes, Express bus 502 is faster for my friend... cost about $1.80? Still quite high. So the moral of the story is: it's better not to stay too far away from work place - save time and some money.
