It is a fact many here dont like to face:
These fare hikes are long long overdue.
I think anybody who has seen the operating costs would know what
I am talking about.
The only reason why the public operators have survived so far
despite all the fuel price hikes and manpower costs is because:
1. Overseas ventures making money aka
cross-subsidize. (CDG)
2. You guys have been "subsidizing" the operations anyway
courtesy of Temasek Holdings (SMRT).
***
Bottomline: I wont make a judgement and say the fare hikes are
justified.
I would simply say given the circumstances, I can understand to
an extent.
All I ask is that they increase the reliability, because that
has been less than acceptable.
