Bus and Train Fare Hike Poster

Bus and Train Fare Hike PosterI loved the way the poster said "Fare Adjustment" instead of "Fare Hike".

And the "Benefits" heading was nice and big, while the, ahem, adjustments font remained small.

I also liked the way the increase was stated. 1.8% average fare increase. No word on the more than 10% increase for cash and single trip fares.

Under benefits, they state new longer senior citizen concession hours (please lah, the old hours were just plain silly), ok good.

They state that you continue to get unlimited transfers for $1.90 using ez-link card (give us our fare hike or we remove an existing benefit).

And lastly, the one million donation to the poor (considering that the fare hike will give you an estimated $14 million more per year, $1 million is not going to kill you).

So I guess it will take another fare, er, adjustment before we see some disabled access on buses.

Public transport is a topic that is often guaranteed to raise grumbles at best among its users. Grumbles then often intensify into hue and cry when fares are raised or, as we say in Sg, adjusted (noted by mrbrown). And judging by the ... [Read More]
