Transport Fees an issue...? but...
-
Q Public transport costs are a concern of many people who commute daily. As a potential MP representing these people, do you know how much it costs to travel from your house to, say, Orchard MRT station?
Ms Lee: I normally drive. But from my nearest MRT station, which is Hougang, it would cost me about $1. By bus, it would also cost about the same.
Mr Seah: I live in Serangoon Gardens and the closest MRT station is Ang Mo Kio or Bishan. I don't know how much it costs to travel to Orchard MRT by public transport because I usually drive. But transport fees are an important issue.
Mr Hri: I usually drive and so do my neighbours. I live in Tanjong Katong. But I know it would cost about $1 to travel to the city, by train or bus.

Told you they are like the PTC.
All drive cars and have never taken public transport before.
Ask them to experience taking public transport for one month and see the breakdowns, the crush at peak hours and they will cry in front of the transport minister in Parliament.

The transport system was still new and was just enough to give everybody a comfortable ride.
Now it's 4.4 million with an intention to increase it to 6 to 8 million later.
During peak hours, good luck to you if you need to get to the adjacent door at the other side of the MRT to alight. -

I think this will soon become an oxymoron.Originally posted by ditzy:I want HDB MP.
By virtue of someone being a PAP MP, chances are he or she wouldn't be living in a HDB flat or take public transport or do most of the things HDB heartlanders do. -
standard answer ah. all give $1.

All the people in the agency making policies that does not affect them except making more bonus for them.
What do you expect ??
Just observe whether any MP dare to mention the Keyword "COST". -
It only revealed that they will drive ..and you will be driven only....that all. Amount is not important. As long I drive and you pay.
Squeezed and need improvement, no problem. Improve services for you ....
Later, operation cost increase, increase fee again..
Complaint some more!!! -
Well, there are more dirty socks of the tpt operators that have not been dug out
Use it as election bargaining chip -
Q1: What are the basic component to charge a "public transportation fare"
Q2: Any positive way to lower the "public transportation fare"
I hope we can have people to chip in with positive reply and proposal. Cheers.
