The tertiary bus stamp is only $58 per month, and that's for
18-24 yr olds.
$190 kum lan!, even if include MRT rides NO ONE would spend
over $7 every day including Sat & Sun for a weekly transport
expenditure of $45 per week.
Let's calculate, a normal worker will at most traverse 1
MRT ride + 2 bus rides on going to work + the same thing
coming back. That comes up to about
$1.80+$1.20+$0.80 (taking note that there is also
rebates from MRT to bus, and bus to bus) = $3.80 x 2
= $7.60
For 5 days work, the person would spend $38, this poor chap will
have to think of ways to spend more than $7 dollars on transport on
Sat & Sun!
If this poor chap has to work for 6 days a week (poor guy)
& some small travel on Sun, then, he may only luckily spend
$45.60 + small travel like $1 x 2 = $2 on Sun = $47.60. That makes
him save $2.60 ??!! per week
However, for Almost 90% of workers, they daily transport is more
like $1.60+$1.20 = $2.80 x 2 = $5.60
So if the person works on 5 days = $5.60 x 5 = $28. This
poor chap will have to think of ways to spend more than $17!!! on
Sat & Sun.
This season pass is either for very specific group of people
only, the tranport companies are not sincere in their offer. It
they really sincere, they would set it at $30-$35 per week or $140
per month.
Take note that even the SMRT bus member stamp is more valuable
than this offer.
Also, $45 for 1 week, but $190 for 1 month???!!! It should be
$45x4=$180 for 1 month bah....... seriously nobody will gian the
unlimited MRT travels loh....fake promotion.
