Something I really wanna blog about.
BUS FARE & MRT FARE RISE!!
Don't you think the Singapore government is contradicting? First, rise of ERP, saying to encourage Singaporean to take public transport. Also to have less con-jested roads. Also rise of ERP to make cars more hard to maintain, thus there will not be so many cars in Singapore. This was said in the National Day by PM Lee. I don't have much say in this, as I don't drive yet.
Around that period, cab fare rised by 30 cents, what bullshit disel surcharge, where initally, the rise of cab fare from $2.50 to $2.80 was because the rise of petrol cost. Okay, acceptable, soon after the rise, petrol price started to drop bit by bit. Then after a few months, they said that an additional of 30cents will be added to cab fare for disel surcharge. You are confusing us, we paid for the rise of petrol cost although the price is dropping bit by bit, now want us to pay another 30cents?
Best of all, despite encouraging all of us to take public transport, no cabs no car. Now the fabulous goverment of ours rised the price of bus and MRT. So you rise everything, isn't this back to sqaure one? Rise of GST, PM Lee said that the money was to help poorer people, but the price of everything rised, does it make a difference?
Isn't all this contradicting?
