Long waits and overcrowded bus are top dissatisfactions!
-
And they want to penalise under paying passengers, fare cheaters.
Also they themselves sometimes overcharge passengers!
No action from Public Transport Council? -
Who are we to complain?
We only take public transport.
The people at the PTC who don't take public transport know what they are doing.
We should just let them do their jobs.
Really.

Take underpaying passengers to court.... fine them.... jail them....
And yet we get long waits, overcrowded buses and MRTs (yes MRT too!).
Being overcharged by transport companies!
What is this world coming to? -

It is the responsibility of the bus co eventually to improve the bus sv -
Sue them like what they did to underpaying passengers. But looks like chances are low. And we will probably be the first country to sue passengers for underpaying and passengers suing public transport for overcharging.Originally posted by redstone:And they want to penalise under paying passengers, fare cheaters.

"Wanting them (operators) to solve the issue is a miracle." (The Straits Time) This was quoted from the chairman of PTC. So we do not need PTC, we need only God because only God can do miracles.

When it comes to matters concerning fare increment, the PTC is fast on the trigger. But when it comes to matters concerning welfare of consumer, they give typical bullshit excuses

that's one example why i want more consumer rights. case is a toothless tiger... sometimes when u buy something and it turns out to be not what it seems to be, there's not much you can do except going to case and hope for the best.Originally posted by meleagent:When it comes to matters concerning fare increment, the PTC is fast on the trigger.

It's rather obvious that their main and true concern, is to ensure that public transport operations, make reasonable profits. That's it.
Busses will always be overcrowded so long the bus companies finds it too costly to add more busses to the route. Because if they ease our frustrations, they just add to their own.
Logical?
It's all about MONEY. Nothing else. -
frankly it is all for show only. they will never give a satisfactory answer. afterall they monopolised the market.
what alternatives do we have? we are at the mercy of these people. -

Now close your eyes and imagine a Singapore with 7-8 million people, almost double what we have now.Originally posted by sinicker:today, practically all trains towards city frm the west, east, north frm 6.45am-9pm everyday are all packed to the brim (i mean doors).
Do you think you can even reach the MRT station? -

I let you run SBS.. Then deploy buses very frequent until it is not making $$... End up you pump in your own $$ to support
The only way to get away with all this overloading and long waiting, is to strictly enforce the bus lane. Cars are all using the bus lane during peak hrs -

Stricter rulings on Bus Lanes, is not the key.
It's ever increasing running and or operating costs.
Generally termed, INFLATION. -
Not?Originally posted by ShutterBug:Stricter rulings on Bus Lanes, is not the key.

Because you are denying... You might be those drivers that drive onto the bus lanes that causes long waiting or delays
As for bus fare increases, it is all to do with the cost -

Fuel costs are one of thsoe factors. Sometimes I feel that public transit operators should get subsidised fuel.Originally posted by ShutterBug:Stricter rulings on Bus Lanes, is not the key.

Talking abt this now reminds me that they gave petrol rebates 2-3 years back and not diesel... Reason: Rebates given to SBS bus road tax, but it is not enough to cover for more and more ERP gantriesOriginally posted by iveco:Fuel costs are one of thsoe factors.

How to reduce when the govt is increasing road usage cost?Originally posted by no_1_idiot:Shld reduce fare man,knn go orchard and come back, can easily spend $3 bucks liao/wth -
Profits matter most. The new system of adjusting bus fare is probably very unfair. If Singapore's economy is expected to grow, how will the bus fares dropped? What a stupid system.

Increase ERP and keep all buses out of these ERP gantries so we need not to pay more.Originally posted by sbst275:How to reduce when the govt is increasing road usage cost?
