Comments as below: 1) encourage unhealthy lifestyle, increase public transport cost so pp buy cars. 2) maintain substandard management, govt don't wanna pay their salaries so citizens pay lor 3) tekan the elderly, don't let them move around too much, so they rot at home and don't live past 85, as for the annuities... guess who benefit then.. 4) make pp alight a few stops later cos price not increase for longer stages of bus stops 5) whether u agree to pay more or not, doesn't matter cos the so called talents are the ones who approved the fare hike anyway.. Cheers... Just for laugh.. |

I guess the reasons (only personal view) for increasing bus fare are : 1) to foster healthly life, encourage ppl take more walking instead of taking bus....comment pls 2) to maintain first class standard of manangement (may be will rcruite more talents to run the biz in order to provide supper class bus services.... comments, pls.. 3) to prortect old folks or elderly, make sure they stay at home more than going out gossip to disturb the ordely society. Also to ensure they can live far beyong 85 so that they may enjoy the benefits of annunities.... comments pls.... 4) to encourge commuters alight 1 - 2 bus stops earlier then walk a distance to the destination, this will creat a lively Singapore.... 5) If all of you do not agree to pay more, then in future or near future, there will have no talents willing to work for us... by the time, who suffer ???? May have some more reasons , but dun wnat to take up so much space loh.... |

Company makes profit management team gets performance bonus. Company bankrupts, no buses to ride, how? I am more concern on during peak hours, buses still packed with commuters. This issue still unsolved and dragging too long. In view of population increases annually think what going to happen..... |

lol... TuaPekGong, I have found a listed company for you. The Company was incorporated in Singapore on 6 July 2006 as a public company limited under the name of Asia-Pacific Strategic Investments. The Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, HMSC was incorporated in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in March 1997 and SMH Sdn Bhd, being the wholly-owned subsidiary of HMSC was incorporated in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in October 2006. HMSC's bereavement care business began in 2004 when the directors of Pribena approached Ir. Heng Aik Koon and Dato' Choo to assist them in developing and marketing a private non-Muslim cemetery. In November 2005, HMSC entered into the Management Co-operation Agreement with Pribena to fund, develop, market, operate, manage and maintain SMH, in order to cater to the non-Muslim population. Currently, SMH is undergoing major development works to convert it into a memorial park on a 100-acre plot of land owned by Pribena in Selangor, Malaysia. HMSC's core business is to operate memorial parks and columbariums in Asia, and is principally engaged in the provision of professional and integrated bereavement services such as funeral arrangements, funeral and disposition services. These include: - provision of burial plots; - provision of (internal and external) columbarium niches; - provision of burial niches; - provision of funeral services; - construction of tombs; and - provision of ancestral tablets. |

I wonder in the history of Sg's transportation sector, have they ever cut price before during a crisis? Well, COE, ERP, and even road tax goes up/down at times, what about the bus/train/taxi fares? |
