2 things are for true though, PAP is only interested in profiteering and Raymond Lim is a 4-eyed dickhead.
He take charge by having $$$$ to guide him and nothing else. Since he become transport minister there is non stop nuisance from him. Everything is $$$$ to him. Whoever in his consitutency, please vote him out.

Sorry guys, i wasnt clear enough, my point was that the oil prices will continue to skyrocket and a small drop in price is like a small and short lived change. On a graph, you will see the oil prices keep going up like a diagonal line that zig zags its way but mostly upward, and we cant afford to expect sbs or smrt to change the fares everytime the zig zag faces downward for a short period of time. Cmon... if you hate PAP, you should at least consider practicality and mathematical significances of the issue.
On the other hand, yes i do agree that public transport is too expensive and should be reduced to a "no frills" kind of system. do we really need those fancy pants extra services? I'd rather take non-aircon bus and change bus at a non-aircon crappy garbage filled interchange with rude and inconsiderate bus drivers in exchange for cheaper fares.
i think the next election, pap will again dominate, not only because of their undemocratic techniques but also because we singaporeans (me included) are too stupid and tend to fall for their traps. wait and see, when they give ang bao again, they will increase your public transport fares and gst again. No point whining when you still vote them.

Hang on there a minute.
So who are we to vote for?
Is the opposition party promising lower fares - 50cents ride full fare, $1 petrol, no ERPs ( to help those who own car - see, me no selfish wan), cheap rice, free full medical care and 30cents for my kopi-O?
He/She who gives me that promise gets my vote! :-P I promise!

Sorry, in Singapore, you vote first, action later. Without your vote on opposition, they cannot do it. So Just Vote them.

Knowing their ways, why do you still vote them? So you are one of the 66.6%, I see. Thank you, 66.6% should shut up and accept whatever crap from Pay and Pay be it good or bad.

I second that. Given a choice, I will give opp a chance.

Oil price goes up or down, it doesn’t matter. They already set a target for bus/mrt fare and will move towards this target gradually. So, this explains why every now and then, they will put up proposal to increase bus/mrt fare.

It is business to them not public service. They do this to be accountable to the shareholders. Everything is business in Singapore to the greedy despots. -
Not all business people are heartless
Only those controlled by certain group
and what makes you think that in the next wayang election that there will be any voting going on? Much of Singapore has walk overs.

If I'm not wrong, temasek holdings or GIC got shares in SBS?
SBS increase public transport fares,
profit from SBS goes to temasek holdings or GIC,
then profit from temasek holdings or GIC goes to govt?
So, indirectly govt increase transport fares?
-
so now you know why its a wayang...

I think we should wait awhile before demanding price decrease for public transport. Cause from what i gather, the fall in price would not last long. Maybe if it remains constant for around 6 months, than i think its fair to ask for change.

While if it is obvious that the pricing is wrong, they would make changes.

And how often they did they hike a price and decided to go down after hearing the plead of the citizen, they alway claim with the term "sustainable". "We must maintain sustainbility and competitive"
