New public transport fare review committee

[Rezorn86]

The government has appointed a 13-member committee to look into the public transport fare adjustment formula and the framework for fare adjustments.

I am skeptical on the outcome bringing significant positive impact on anything benefits commuters.

Adjustments has always been disappointing. Another month for a dismal tweak?

 

Prove me i'm wrong this time i hope.

I think their new pattern is every time there is fare adjustment, there will be a new committee formed but with the SAME EXCUSE for the increase.

[Labixiaoxin]

Another fare increment on the way.

The billion spent on improving the buses have to come from somewhere and we all know who's going to pay for it.

I said that again PTC is a joke.

Whenever operator want to increase, they just sarport.

For the last 5 years how much have our "public transport" fare increase?

We are at the MERCY of our expensive " public transport "

I can never understand why our LTA is unable to craft out policies and Public transport fee guidelines on its own with inputs from the public and professionals. Why must a committee be doing this job?

Need a special committee to spend time research the best statistics to use in order to justify fare increase. If public not happy, use statistics force it down their throat.

Can read from this link, we can more or less know who are the major shareholders of our

DEAR "public transport company".

The increase in drivers' wages has to come from somewhere......

[A5SB]

Why do we need another new rubber stamp to approve fare hikes? I really do not understand.

 

Anyway, in balancing public interest in more "affordable" fares and transport operators long term "viability", we can be always sure these committees have a tendency to tip a certain way, no matter what formula is used.
