wat happened? more fare confusion???

[paesyl]

"Will train fares go up as a result of the changes?

Mrs Lim's answer is 'no', as fares are independently regulated by the Public Transport Council. "

:think::think:

The results of increase in travelling fares are not the direct cause due to the changes.

The results of increase in travelling fares are due to:

1) Pay the person who come out of this idea
2) Pay the technican who have to design the 'super computer'
3) Pay the installation of the 'super computer'
4) Pay for the annual servicing of the 'super computer'
5) Pay the person who have to calculate the fare
6) pay the person who have to monitor the new system

Wonder how they calculate that they lose 88mil a yr?

If they really lose that much will they dare to open up for tender 15yrs time down the road lets say they dare so who would want to tender for a losing biz???

What if all lines are under different operator will there be even more confussion??? or will it concussion by the time comes?

My friend he decided to change to riding motor bike instead of public transport according to him it is much cheaper as all his trip increase!

:think: Maybe it is time to consider other transportation or maybe we can consider riding a bicycle as it is a good form of exercise also!

One thing I also don't understand... why should it be considered a new trip when u take the same bus service twice? If I just need to go to AMK Central to buy some groceries and be done in 30min, I have 15min of transfer time to walk around, then take the same bus back home. But it will be a new trip. To pay less, I take another bus for 1 bus stop, then take back my original bus again. What's the point of all this?!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

If everyone in this country buy SMRT shares, the more we travel, the more we pay, the more we earn from their shares........

In the end your shares earnings will pay all your travels! Travel for free! :bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

And no more whining here.....Clubsnap servers will work faster, people more happy, and SMRT got money to bring in more trains and buses

people seems to forget something, your one journey start from home to AMK Central, and the other journey from AMK Central to your home, just like you travel to work in the morning and back in the evening.

since there are many buses around, you can utilize the transfer rules to go quick shopping and transfer other buses to get home and save some $.

News was out that 300,000 was overcharged since July. To ask for refund would need a super memory.

I believe you need to travel to the designated place for refund, that's another transport cost incurred....
It always a win situation for the transport company! :thumbsup:

what more could i possibly do?


aiya, sian liao la. accept it lo.

 

[Xiao_shin]

One good thing (if you can even said it is so) about this saga is that they openly "admitted" the error.


This is pobably the time when someone come out and declare:
1. This only happen every 50 years.
2. It's an honest mistake. Let's move on.

Where is the accountability?
