5 years down, can we expect MRT fare to cost $5 per trip?
-
1 week = $5 x 2 x 6 days = $60
4 weeks = $60 x 4 = $240

price go down 
-
i think more likely that it will be $3.50
-
if that is the case you better start training. it is time to jog to work.
-
if it really cost that much then it'll be most likely because of inflation. Which means that your salary will also increase to like about $8000+ per month if you're earning $1000+ now
-
Maybe not in 5 year's time but eventually it will happen(say...15 to 20yrs, if Singapore still exists).
After all, once upon a time movie ticket prices used to be under $5.

do we still need buses or mrt in 5 years??
-
our currency already dropped so much compared to other currencies.Originally posted by skyfoo:quite impossible, unless our currency drops la
if u have noticed...
-
y not .... in sg everything go up except our salary .......
-
It's not really possible, barring a spectacular collapse of the world's oil reserves, which would send oil prices soaring sky high.

hahaha
Wait some transport person said, our transport fare is lower than what-very-expensive-country, therefore we should be at the same rate as them and increase our fares to match theirs too...
Hey that sounds familar... did't some cinema operator say that... -

our media likes to put out lists where SG is ranked among the tops, perhaps we're also working to reach the top the list of most highly priced or most profitable PUBLIC TRANSPORT in the world
-
they every year ask for profit top-up allowance to raise prices.....drawing the blood from our hard-earned salary.....surely it will be more ex lah...but in 5 years, not yet 5 bucks.
-
i'm already paying more than $5 to get to work and back every day
seeing how other prices are going up , it doesn't exactly look like an up hill task for sbs and smrt -
its either our pay goes up, or we r going to take the frenli user transport, bicycle
-
Nationalisation of public transport is the only way to bring down public tpt fares, making public tpt operators as non profitable organisation, this is what the government do not wish to do.
-
Why not?
Some bloody top level management would come out and says it is due to rising operating costs or it is a good time to raise cost etc....
In Singapore, prices go up and up but wages remain stagnant
-
Let's put ourselves into their shoes, if you are earning a great amount of money currently through public tpt business, would you like to nationalise them? Thus, putting less money into your pocket? There's only one definite answer for this.Originally posted by zorro82:Why not?
