Distance-Time based fare

[Toby88]

guess the fares will just increase steadily throughout the years.
not sure whether there will be a day when the cost of taking public transport will more or less be equal the cost of driving a car.

i'm also curious how this $88 million figure came about........

and of course the 66.6% thing also

today my fare increased taking the same route.... last time always at SGD1.29 today dunno why it has become SGD1.41 if everyone they cheat little like 10cents or so... everyday so many people use the card... wah... they can cover the their costs very fast...

Sorry for bumping this thread.

Not sure if there will be changes now that private operators are allowed to bid for routes as well

fares are collected by government not the operator, it is also set by government

do you know that ezlink is related to government?
and that they set the monthly pass at $190?

 

[cancer81]

unless u are a travelling sales man... u wun be able to extract value from a monthly adult pass

and yes, I am aware of NETS and EZLink's linkage (pun unintended) to our sovereign fund

might as well take cab everyday or even better, ride bicycle to work or walk/run to work daily

Edit: 1.23 forgot about the first increase in 2012

If I need to change bus after taking the train, I will walk a distance to another bus stop to board the bus.

Save a few cents
