WHY IS SBS ALWAYS OVERCHARGING ME???
-
Why???? Sometimes they overcharge me by 20 cents, sometimes by 30 cents. I'm fu(ked pissed. It's already happened twice in the last 2 weeks. I wonder if people actually check and if they do not, it can only mean increased profits for a supposedly public service.
By the way, in singapore, service is not quite what it is defined to be in normal english dictionaries.
brace yourself for an as5whipping fare increase coming up. -
Bef anything can proceed
Can provide the boarding and alighting bus stop details and service number?
-
i never check one
cos i oso duno how much the fare is supposed to be
bet the claiming process is troublesome and ppl dun usually bother to go make the claim.....so they innocently earned more
but keep quiet and say operating costs increase, must all security measures.....so must raise fare -
I have always checked... and claimed. i dun care if its troublesome (as long as i dun need to go out of my way to claim)Originally posted by FireIce:i never check one

u can check how much your fare is supposed to be by the bus information at most bus stops.
Pls check this people. don't let the "Public" service make more money out of us.
I guess the last part of the above sentence constitutes an oxymoron. -
its funny..i always take and slight at the same stop,but the fare charge will be different on 154..

154 the fare stage problematic oneOriginally posted by stellazio:its funny..i always take and slight at the same stop,but the fare charge will be different on 154.. -
mine was 147 and 105. both i have experienced problems.
we shd not accept that they have problems and close the case at that. they should not, under any circumstances overcharge us. can we fine them for overcharging us??! -
You have to indicate the boarding and alighting bus stopsOriginally posted by foxwalk:mine was 147 and 105. both i have experienced problems.

Duplicating svs can still have diff fare stages
What I believe your complain is because of where you board 105 and 147 at Clementi... 147 from Int, 105 from MRT stn -
go write in to straits times. they are encouraging people to write into the forum thing. no???

That why some ppl always tap & check the fare deduction when boarding/alighting.

or maybe record downOriginally posted by brotherchen1982:That why some ppl always tap & check the fare deduction when boarding/alighting. -
In Singapore, Bus and Rail Services are operated on a Commercial Basis
so, u cant complain about riseing fares, or overcharging
the riduculous hassle of claiming a refund is just to deter you from doing so -

No, I checked the bus fare information from the point of taking the bus. So it is correct.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Pls note that for S147, different direction does have different number of fare stages. -
well the bigger joke i once read in the papers is that sbs reports record profits smack after it annouces price hikes that do not fully cover increase in fuel costs tht they have been covering for years

the problem is, can adult buy?Originally posted by sbst275:You buy concession stamp, they try to deploy more non aircon buses -
You mean you go up from the bus stop and alight at the same bus stop? Why would you want to do that? You go up the front and come down the back?Originally posted by stellazio:its funny..i always take and slight at the same stop,but the fare charge will be different on 154.. 
No wonder your post starts off by saying "it's funny." Yes, I agree, very funny

I guess if you have so much time to waste at sgforums, then wasting some time at transitlink.com whould be OK TO GET BACK 20 CENTS!Originally posted by phillipC:Hi make your claim here:

If they caught you cheating, you go to jail... I think they should send a couple of the directors to jail to wake them up.Originally posted by foxwalk:Why????

foxy, note it down... religiously...
then send the whole transcript to the press...
citing a few things like "Transport companies threaten people with jail time for cheating but they cheat the people. Directors should go to jail because ultimately, they are responsible for the company."
they WILL blame the idiots who sold them the accursed taptap card thing.. however, if they do not conduct their own due diligence and test the accursed thing properly, whose fault is it?
i would say that if every 1 out of 30 people are cheated like you of 10c or 20c, and there are about a couple of million trips a day, that'll be close to $10,000 stolen by the bus companies a day from unsuspecting passengers..
and they KNOW that almost no one bothers to check and fewer bother to claim when it is wrong..
it all stinks worse than month-old fish...
okay you bus nuts! go do your *@&%!!
p.s. btw, this is not the first time &#% like this has happened.. for the same bus ride, my card was deducted different amounts before.. a difference of 10c, so i didn't bother... -
Me encountered on svc 170 before, tap at the front already, when exit it show "Error, and please tap at boarding" message.
The trip only cost around $0.63 or $0.65. But when i checked at the LRT station, it deducted $1.25. Too bad can't make a claim because I never take note of the bus plate number.
Any one has the same experience as me?
