Wah lao~ increase again…

Acknowledging concerns over the cost of living, the PTC said that the upcoming fare increase has been moderated to "reduce the impact on commuters, despite sustained increases in costs of public transport operations".

translate: actually we can and want to increase even more, but we don't want to deal with all the backlash and decided we will just live with moderated profits... for now.

Considering the recent spate of breakdowns, they have got the nerve, the gall and the audacity to increase price.

 

[Hello_Kitty]

throughout the past, was there any fare review whereby the fare is adjusted downward before???

break downs give them the right to increase prices, the irony is the shittier it becomes, the higher the fares go.
