No company in the right frame of mind will want to spend money to increase operating cost. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5266 Supercharged August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 68% pay 1-2 cents less. 32% pay 10-20 cents more. Just my guess. Why they omit how much 68% save? They don't have the number? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantini Neutral Newbie August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 have you guys noticed that we're paying more on this so-called distance-based fares? or is it just me. i do take the train or bus once in a while if i'm not driving. in any case, a raise in fares is an outrage!

Watwheels Supersonic August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 PUBLIC-TRANSPORT operators face a permanent fare-revenue dip of $88 million a year because of the distance- based fare system, Transport Minister Raymond Lim said yesterday. This is like saying the glass is half empty. Why not put it in such a that says the glass is half full? I can always say they are profiting $88mil extra every year for the past many years.

Summer69 Clutched August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 We drivers already get used to ERP, COE & Petrol going up & down, more up than down. so i suggest people taking public transport should start getting use to "live" fares, going up & down, more up than down. maybe "ERP" style fares, peak & non-peak? They really touch our tra la la. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 obviously those Ministers don't know what they are doing.... all they know is to read from scripts.... a loss of $88million by transport operators ever since they used the Distance-Based Transport Fare Scheme??? more like $88million earned bah.... and where did they get such a nice figure, 88??? utter nonsense....

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 but then, i must say, from where i stay, (far from the city) fortunately, getting on a train during peak hours is still possible.... those nearer to the city....GOOD LUCK!!! and since it's getting pretty much impossible to drive, i'd actually rather take public transport than drive..... at least can oogle at pretty girls....

Like that good mah. As long as they hire imbeciles to write their scripts we can continue to joke about it. Previously was the "freak flood which happens once in 50 years", now we have "$88mil" to play around with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
