Singapore Expensive
-
Hello
Im just wondering what do you peeps think of the price of transport fares nowadays like example bus fares, mrt fares because It seems quite expensive after living in Singapore for so long then I realise this issue like example I top up my ez link card $5 and lets say if I were to travel everyday taking 2 buses which I have to tap ez link card 4 times and within 2-3 days, the value is used up for students, working adults.
Students fares are like $0.45 and adults fares are from $1.00 and its just so expensive but the advantage for student will be buying concession which will be more saving and also the prices for F&B are on the rise even hawker centres which I feel ridiculous but I understand if restaurnant were to raise their price a little, that will be fine with me but if normal place like hawker centres also rise then I think by next year, more singaporeans will experience a tough time.
I would love to hear what you peeps have in mind and invite you all to voice out your opinions, suggestions etc.

Its high because of the standard of living here in Singapore & if I'm not wrong, other countries are much more expensive
-
how about going to a few other countries (say, one or two in each continent) to stay first then rethink about these?
-
everywhere is expensive.....this is what the world has turned into....

U shud go smwher else instead of complaining.nothing's gonna change:)

prices go up, salary doesn't.....this is the world we live in.......unless it gets out of control and life becomes too expensive, then i think most singaporeans would've left the country.......or singapore could face violent protests which not even the gurkha could handle......then again, i think most singaporeans are dogs....no offence there coz i'm one of them......we just follow our master's command when we get rewards etc......

What about brunei? Did they increases their price? Same currency. Best still no income taxes.
More singaporeans already experience a tough time. Now you know why there is so many bus fare cheaters.

The number taking buses and MRT is on the rise as more foreigners coming in and taxi fare rises. Buses and MRT is the only cheap alternative for long distances travel. Do you feel more crowded than before? The buses and MRT coming like taking longer and longer. They want to squeeze you like sardine in the bus and squeeze dry your ezlink fare dry.
They will never close down. No choice. The only biggest "public" transport company "bus and MRT" around.
