I agree.

Singapore is just a monopoly for the Lees and we're just chess pieces for them to make more money.

Once our life is used up, they just chuck us aside for cheaper FTs.

Why so pessimistic?

Why?

Pls read properly. I MENTION PUBLIC BUSES .... i did not say Comfort/Union/Premier taxis dont need pay ARF/COE/Diesel Tax. I did not MENTION ALL PUBLIC TRANSPORT. Pls do not put words in my mouth....

SBST buses paid ERP.... go and search yourself for the ARF/COE part... They actually been paying 5% ARF till this march (go read up the budget statement)....

If that is the case, then we might have to squeeze more passengers into buses or increase bus fares significantly.

Since taking public transport is a basic necessity:

Transport fares decrease - trains/buses will still be packed.

Transport fares stay the same - trains/buses will still be packed.

Transport fares increase by 1% - trains/buses will still be packed.

Transport fares increase by 10% - trains/buses will still be packed.

The return on assets already 8.4% for SBST, what more they want for a stable risk free industry.

SBST side I got few complaints. Its a fact that the fleet was modernised....and there are visible improvements here and there.

Its SMRT you should scrutinise.

It's usually the case, after GE the price of basic and essential services will increase.

Now not nationalised also fares are increasing leh.

So how?

I don't understand Elite logic, operating under the same structure but under cost recovery system will result in fare increases?

It just means that there will be no profits and no shareholders, commuters will only be charged for the cost of providing such public transport services.

Elites have a convoluted sense of reasoning.

Interesting points.

charlize SG

In Sg, competition means higher prices and worse services.

Go figure.

βέτά SG

Competition in Singapore means competing with different companies under the same owner.
