  $3.8 to $5, that's expensive.
  
  I remembered previously we use to have premium bus services as well, they provided towels and newspapers and not more than $5. And in the end, all withdrawn.
  
  I am willing to pay not more than $2.5 per trip.

  many years ago residents of Tampines complained that the feeder buses has a long waiting time, not to mention being crowded, and the feeder services does not link tampines enough.
  
  hence, a "competitor", namely Comfort (that time havent merge) start some feeder service.. 60 cents.
  
  in the end still withdrawn
