then that's too bad lah.Originally posted by SBS9845X:actually not everyone has radios with them....
TVMobile has nothing got to do with any fare hike... You are just 1 of the passengers who doesn't know who owns it - MediaCorp! That's why the channel is theirs and maintenance of the TV onboard is done by them as well and NOT SBSTOriginally posted by boing_:Today, there're more features in the bus such as TV mobile & the EZ link system. Due to this, bus fares have already increased.
If there were more features introduced to make the ride more comfortable, which would result in a further increase in bus fare, would you guys still be willing to take the bus? Will you seek private transport such as cars instead![]()
in fact, i read somewhere that SBST actually earns income by letting Mediacorp uses its buses to broadcast, and tat's why they are keeping it.Originally posted by sbst275:TVMobile has nothing got to do with any fare hike...

Not that substantial if there is.. TV Mobile is bleeding btwOriginally posted by ^tamago^:in fact, i read somewhere that SBST actually earns income by letting Mediacorp uses its buses to broadcast, and tat's why they are keeping it.
and even if the service sucks big time people will still take them.Originally posted by Parka:Even if a bus fare is $3 per trip, people will still take them.
My opinion.. No.Originally posted by boing_:will buses get more popular among the population here with added features?
Not really, ulu services get has to wait very long stillOriginally posted by iveco:Actually, there is little to complain about the standard of bus services in Singapore. No doubt the fares are a little ex, but the service level is still acceptable. If you travel by bus in Kuala Lumpur, you will really faint from all that waiting. At least back home, waiting times are shorter.
Agreed. In the early 1980s, feeder bus fare was only 15 cents, now is 63 cents using ezlink.Originally posted by SBS9816E:Actually, some of you here are right in certain senses. Whenever the features in buses upgrade, we have to pay a bit more, so as to "substantiate" the features in them. However, I don't feel the need of adding certain features in there, since the top priority of taking public transports is one can get from Point A to Point B. However, in the years to come, I would expect bus fares to rise, since the economy may be advancing to a higher level.
