Might as well give free COE, sacrifice 2 years of youth and working years and another 10 years to do reservist, competing with foreigners with work efficiency. But then sacrifice so much for your time and life, can't even buy a car for yourself and family to enjoy and to make up for those sacrifices. How sad.
Can forget about it. They will just tell you that they already give you concessions. What can only NSFs say? FML.
Actually nothing to do w/ e fare revision...
Tat one is somewhat you've to expect w/ CCL's commencement, some connections would now be tabulated under new connection i.e. using CCL like S'goon to CLE.
Originally posted by QX179R:PUBLIC transport operator SMRT has raised the fare of all seven of its special late night bus services from $3.50 to $4.
The increase, which took effect last Wednesday, brings the fare on a par with that of the six late night bus services run by the other public transport operator, SBS Transit.
The fare increase follows the Public Transport Council's announcement last month that the annual public transport fare adjustment will be deferred from mid-year to until after the last two stretches of the MRT Circle Line open in the fourth quarter of this year.
That fare review covers feeder, trunk and express bus services, as well as MRT and LRT trains, but excludes special late night bus services.
Some analysts say raising the fare of special late night bus services could be a way for transport companies to meet rising operating costs before the annual fare adjustment is approved, in addition to increasing rental rates for shop space in MRT stations.
An SMRT spokesman told The Straits Times on Monday: 'While we continue to manage our operating costs, we have adjusted fares for NightRider services from $3.50 to $4 in view of an inflationary and higher operating cost environment, which includes higher energy prices.'

Something fishy about this sentence. I bet its due to elections.
Usually PTC announces fare increases in late April, early May, and then increases it on 1st July.
They claimed its to coincide with the CCL opening later this year... Its to also "lessen the hassle of facing fare adjustments twice in a year" Gerald says..
