I will like to comment about "Fares up – but not as much as last year" by Tor Ching Li of Today in which bus and train fares will go up by between 1 to 3 cents from Oct 1.
SBS Transit spokesperson Tammy Tan has been quoted that the fare adjustment will only provide partial relief for the increased cost pressures faced by her organisation without elaboration.
I hope that SBS Transit will elaborate further these "cost pressures" for the sake of the consideration of Singaporean commuters. I believe even an increase in advertising budget for the recruitment of business captains can also be deemed as cost pressures.
If reasonable, I am sure the PTC and Singaporean commuter will not begrudge an even higher fare increase in the future. Singaporeans will make informed decisions once the facts are laid bare and there is more accountability.
