  They will have no choice but to take public transport unless they can afford to go work by either taxi or own car.

  Figures are not consistent. June and December normally see a dip in ridership figures as many people are out of town during the school holidays. It would be better if the July figures are compared with May's figures.

  but the % in changes is never seen before.

  If it's May vs July, SMRT train ridership +6.2%.

  SBS's bus n rail up 5.6% & 9.4% respectively.

  This is due to help of the Distance Fares. However, I believe they still lose revenue compared to fare stage system.

  seriously ar, the satisfaction index factor from day 1 in 2008 I knew it's somehow bias. Can't explain in detail here, but variables are never taken into consideration.

  Like ppl dun move in, who's fault in reality?

  month-on-month increase takes into the account the resumption of school term in July.

  sadly, August also sees some drop in schooling student movements due to YOG.

  so we have to wait for September?

  but still nong time never see a diff of close to 10% for buses.

  For SMRT, it's likely CCL 170,000, NSL/ EWL 1.4m
