Posted on 20 January 2014

This lazy cat that has found its favourite chill-out spot at a Jurong East bus stop proves to be too irresistible for commuters.

STOMPer Alan said the commuters would pet the cat while waiting for their buses.

He said:

"This cat is too lazy to move around.

"She likes to sit on the metal seat of the bus stop.

"Commuters enjoy stroking and petting her on the back while waiting for the 'super late' buses to arrive."

maybe its time to get a new CEO?

Fare increases, I'm OK if it improve service quality and we see more happy public transport workers. But for our little fragile economy, is it acceptable to have such problems ? Must we wait another 5-10 years to find a real solution to this MRT problem ?

He stressed that affordability was a key priority for the council, and the 3.2 per cent increase is “significantly lower than the expected average national wage increase for 2013”.


The national wage increase is likely to be close to 5 per cent, he said.


(max) 5-3.2=1.8


So 1.8% is significantly lower ? [speechless]

Since garmen is increasing the bus fare because of the wage increase of 5%. Can Garmen top up the salary of those who did not have the 5% incresase in their salary? [rolleyes]

Step 1: assure people, it is for the better to privatise public transport

(2 legs bad, 4 legs good)

 

After privatise:

Step 2: protect reasonable profit of transport companies wor

(4 legs good, 2 legs better!)

 

now lan lan, cannot nationalise liao [laugh]

why should taking public transport be a consideration for deciding increasing fare?

How would you know the facts & feeling if you are not in it? These PTC folks dun take MRT, BUS, Taxi everyday so how they know the suffering that we all go thru day in day out? If they take public transport like us everyday, they would not have so easily approved the fare increases. knowing all the hardships the riders face daily and the anger that have been building up... they can theorise all they like during their meetings, but without practical experience in the field, its all just empty talk... PTC is just a rubber stamp body made up of people who know nuts of whats actually happening everyday... reports from their ka kia not pakai bec they are all dressed up for the bosses to hear only the good news... this morning MRT breakdown declare delay is 20 mins, but the folks on the jammed mrt platform reported in social media is 50mins...u say who I believe?

but PTC task is to increase fare (absolve PTO responsibility to increase fare) not to sympathize with commuters, no?

Good to have first hand information as passengers to understand the problems before taking on position of decisions making, no?
