But this signals something, it is not just public tpt operators that are tied with the higher fuel costOriginally posted by 105090:yeap. saw the news as well.. but still, their fares will still remain very l.ow as compared to SBS and SMRT. -
What about school bus fares? Are they going up as well?
-
IMO Scheme B buses doesn't need too much fare raise as all the buses are Manual Transmission which doesn't consume much diesel compared to SBST & SMRTB Automatic transmission buses

It will all see the movement of the disel price.Originally posted by iveco:What about school bus fares? Are they going up as well?
It is believed the Scheme B buses are asking for a 10c hike, as they are non basic svs, it need not follow the new fare formula -
Scheme B svcs are cheaper by the others by 30 cents to 70 cents.
but still, a ten cent fare increase is still resonable as they had not increased their fares for many years. -
Actually... Scheme B rts are just to supplement the drivers earning.. As they run 1 trip in the morning, 1 trip at night... Then other times run charter...Originally posted by 105090:Scheme B svcs are cheaper by the others by 30 cents to 70 cents.

Now is because of the running fuel cost. -

Sometimes happened that there is a charter in the morning, the driver goes for the charter.. And happens that is the only bus, no bus for that day -
yeah. Scheme B buses not reliable. some drivers operate as school buses, then rush down to operate as Scheme B services. in fact, whether they want to operate the SchemeB services is up to themselve sometimes

I take schoolbus to school when i was in primary school. Every morning, after alighting us at 7.00am, the schoolbus will rush to serve as service 640 during the morning, at about 7.05am.Originally posted by 105090:yeah.

BTW, sometimes i ask the driver what type of service he is driving and he told me alot of the Scheme B service and thats how i got to know the Scheme B services -
