How ironic that the ppl who make decisions abt public transport are ppl who dun use them at all.Originally posted by av98m:The current members of the PTC should be sacked and each made to pay for full-page apologies for failing to carry out their duties.
Should force all ministers to take public transport

When people start to take alternate routes and those routes become BUSY, then they increase the ERP gates to expand the area...??Originally posted by sbst275:I dun think they should add no of cars
Look at how congested are the roads now...
COE, they earn... Later say jam, so came with ERP... They ask ppl to use alt road, ERP was installed on this alt rd not long later...
It is just $$
Or should they come up with something new like 'FRP' or 'GRP'...??

No need to ask them to take public transport. Just as them to stand at the bus stops or mrt stations and observe the waiting times and the shit and suffering we put up with to board the buses and trains.

There is a way to overcome the problem. If inflation is increasing and income is stagnant, do by the intangible way of contributing less to your work.Originally posted by FireIce:tts per trip leh
imagine the impact on my MONTHLY transport expenses........
the govt shd impose a rule tt all companies shd give pay rise
E.g
Say Year 2000
- benchmark of your work contribution is 100%
- No increment for past 4 years till now
- Inflation (base on official and base on your expenditure) estimation
- Do your work based on your pay * inflation factor. -
Sighh..increase increase..everything also increase..govt just want big fat wallet..nvm loh..we all migrate let the govt headache. wait for war come, first time in history a country fall due to lack of troops.

SHIT! I forgot to increase my stake in SMRT by another 10 lots last week at $1

They have raised the fares despite the screw-up on the EzLink Card.
No improvement in service are seen after the previous fare increase.
Instead more bus routes are cut to MAKE MORE PROFITS.
That will only show one thing.
You will and will carry on to be bitten that the people that you have voted to serve us. (Which many of us did not even voted)
The agenda is already very clear.
We are feeding a DOG that bit us back.
In the eye of the policy maker, it is ONLY 2 cents.
I believe they are exempted from paying ant road tax, ERP or coupon.
They will never feel anything except their wallet getting more and more FAT. -

I seriously wonder what the hell the PTC is for. It's a SHOW! For show to trick us into thinking we have rights when we have next to nothing!!!
Seriously why should the fare increase be approved given SMRT submitted the proposal MINUTES before the deadline, and SBS Transit submitted AFTER THE DEADLINE!!!
Seriously. I have lost hope in this country. It's going to hell. Leave me out of that. I have no faith whatsoever.
What is the PTC for? When has it ever DISAPPROVE fare increase??!! It's just a rubberstamp that's what it is! -
WELL WELL.. bus fares sure increase this time, and they made the structure confusing with the variable increases.. but yes., the policy makers said one or two cent wont kill.. why so kay kao??
OWWWW.. my pocket!!! kanna many holes liao!! -
aiyah..nvm la..i sometimes also cheat on bus and mrt fares..so it doesn't affect me loh..bwhahaha

1. First they IMPOSE EZ Link on us.
2. Then they blame us for getting more than one card per person. (Logically speaking, who wouldn't given it costs more to pay by cash?!!)
3. Then they punish us by making us pay for ez link cards!
4. Then they punish us and insult us by setting up a stupid PUBLIC TRANSPORT COUNCIL when it's more like PHONEY TRANSPORT COUNCIL which does NOTHING except for being a rubber stamp.
Seriously I hate this country. Just the other day I was balloting for NDP. For what? For a country that doesn't give sh!t about it's citizens but about a bunch of Fucking china people. -
By the way, they may as well merge SBS and SMRT. Both charge the same fares. Seriously, where's the competition. There should be an anti-monopoly law in place.
The government tells the young to be able of think of constructive ideas, and if they don't have a solution, they should shut up. Let me tell you something. I'm getting out of here. Even if I owe Singapore for what I am today, I've paid my dues by losing all my constitutional and human rights by having stayed here all my life. -
Although PM Goh and PM Lee have encouraged the young Singaporean in expressing their views and get involved in politics.
For the Casino and Transport Issue, more than enough voices have shouted and screamed.
I believe our neighbour over the straits can even hear our feedbacks.
Sad to say, the outcome is the SAME.
It is an one way traffic.
It is more of I tell u what to DO, then we listen ot what you have SAY.
Any things that we expressed in BLOG or FORUMS are chargeable by the LAW.
The views and effort is all turned to deaf ears.
How to support an highly paid officials which cannot even fulfil the basic role of serving the people ???
Not forgeting they are paid by the HARD EARNED MISERABLE salaries of the people that never got much raise in the past five years. -
