Bus fares to go up from Oct1

actually no matter wat public transport still the best...used to drive then sold away my rolls.as long as u got few bucks still in yr ezylink still can go where u like...no worries abt fatimah summon,parking charges...yearly bonus no need pay for insurance and road tax...best thing is can see different chio bu board and alight...

 

Comments as below:

1) encourage unhealthy lifestyle, increase public transport cost so pp buy cars.

2) maintain substandard management, govt don't wanna pay their salaries so citizens pay lor

3) tekan the elderly, don't let them move around too much, so they rot at home and don't live past 85, as for the annuities... guess who benefit then..

4) make pp alight a few stops later cos price not increase for longer stages of bus stops

5) whether u agree to pay more or not, doesn't matter cos the so called talents are the ones who approved the fare hike anyway..

Cheers... Just for laugh..

 

raymondho,

i like your given reasons  

another reason, probably is if u find public transport too X - then hor, u are encourage to get yourself a CAR. 

 

 

I guess the reasons (only personal view) for increasing bus fare are :

1) to foster healthly life, encourage ppl take more walking instead of taking bus....comment pls

2) to maintain first class standard of manangement (may be will rcruite more talents to run the biz in order to provide supper class bus services.... comments,  pls..

3) to prortect old folks or elderly, make sure they stay at home more than going out gossip to disturb the ordely society. Also to ensure they can live far beyong 85 so that they may enjoy the benefits of annunities.... comments pls....

4) to encourge commuters alight  1 - 2 bus stops earlier then walk a distance to the destination, this will creat a lively Singapore....

5) If all of you do not agree to pay more, then in future or near future, there will have no talents willing to work for us... by the time, who suffer ????

May have some more reasons , but dun wnat to take up so much space loh....

 

That will lead to all HDB lift and staircase starts to install EZ-link terminal and charge per use....and become HDB L/S Ltd when listed.

 

guez next time overhead bridge will hv ppl guarding there...to use u gotta pay...like public toilet...btw,bedok interchange theres a coffeeshop selling nana curry...even that coffeeshop start charging ppl to use their toilets...soon,all coffeeshop will follow...then all the toilets will get listed...

 

Oh yes, and those humps they use to cross the roads as well, thinking it's a coloured Zebra crossing! ha ha!

 

haha, might as well ask pedestrain to pay road tax too for zebra crossings and overhead bridges or even crossing the roads.

 

even baby trolley will soon got to pay road tax and insurance to insure the baby....think very soon we also can get ourselve listed...

 

I think bicycle and cable car have to pay road tax soon.

 

Then of course Temasek, GIC, and Sg garment eventually!

 

if LTA get listed,then soon will be SAF...then....MOM,then....

 

if LTA get listed ...die lar...bicycle also need to have road tax.... and maybe have ERP for them

 

Company makes profit management team gets performance bonus. Company bankrupts, no buses to ride, how? I am more concern on during peak hours, buses still packed with commuters. This issue still unsolved and dragging too long. In view of population increases annually think what going to happen.....

 

sounds like a long term investments...if they hv bz in sg better still....can i use emperor notes to buy the shares?hehe.....looks like csc gona cheong soon cos a lot of buying up ....any advice?

 

lol... TuaPekGong, I have found a listed company for you. The Company was incorporated in Singapore on 6 July 2006 as a public company limited under the name of Asia-Pacific Strategic Investments. The Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, HMSC was incorporated in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in March 1997 and SMH Sdn Bhd, being the wholly-owned subsidiary of HMSC was incorporated in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in October 2006. HMSC's bereavement care business began in 2004 when the directors of Pribena approached Ir. Heng Aik Koon and Dato' Choo to assist them in developing and marketing a private non-Muslim cemetery. In November 2005, HMSC entered into the Management Co-operation Agreement with Pribena to fund, develop, market, operate, manage and maintain SMH, in order to cater to the non-Muslim population. Currently, SMH is undergoing major development works to convert it into a memorial park on a 100-acre plot of land owned by Pribena in Selangor, Malaysia. HMSC's core business is to operate memorial parks and columbariums in Asia, and is principally engaged in the provision of professional and integrated bereavement services such as funeral arrangements, funeral and disposition services. These include: - provision of burial plots; - provision of (internal and external) columbarium niches; - provision of burial niches; - provision of funeral services; - construction of tombs; and - provision of ancestral tablets.

 

as long as the companies r listed,fares will nvr be lowered....unless LTA also get listed....

 

I wonder in the history of Sg's transportation sector, have they ever cut price before during a crisis? Well, COE, ERP, and even road tax goes up/down at times, what about the bus/train/taxi fares?

 

next yr jialuck Ee will say....due to higher overhead,oil price increase,supply shortage,GST increase on our materials and upgrading of bus stops....we hv no choice but to have a minimum increase of fares.statistics have shown that our fares r still much lower compared to other countries,and we hv a first class transport...fare revision are keep to a minimum...then couple months later the companies will report due to better management,their profits have increased...wat else can their pattern be?

 

so sad ... last yr PTC approved the request made by the transport companies due to increased cost, this yr they approved again ... cited better economy. next yr what next??
