  SMRT should be applying for individual protection orders for their senior management one of these days to stave off the rioting masses out for their blood...

  Woohoo.
  
  Bigger year end bonuses for the bosses.
  
  And all they had to do was apply for fare increases.
  
  Talk about a simple job.

  We really need a professional fulltime historian to keep track of all these countless fare hikes. Lest people forget. Really absent minded poreans. sigh.

  Why bother about excuses?
  
  Even if they came up with one half baked crap of an excuse, fares will still be increased.
  
  Really.

  Wow..... I have to work 2 days just to afford a cup of $0.90 coffee......
  
  So much for 10 years working for them......

  Applying for fare hike at a time there's high inflation and economic slowdown.
  
  How apt.

  Remind me of ABBA "Money Money Money"
  
  I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
  Ain't it sad
  And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
  That's too bad
  In my dreams I have a plan
  If I got me a wealthy man
  I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
  
  Money, money, money
  Must be funny
  In the rich man's world
  Money, money, money
  Always sunny
  In the rich man's world
  Aha-ahaaa
  All the things I could do
  If I had a little money
  It's a rich man's world
  
  A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
  Ain't it sad
  And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
  That's too bad
  So I must leave, I'll have to go
  To Las Vegas or Monaco
  And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
  
  Money, money, money
  Must be funny
  In the rich man's world
  Money, money, money
  Always sunny
  In the rich man's world
  Aha-ahaaa
  All the things I could do
  If I had a little money
  It's a rich man's world
  
  Money, money, money
  Must be funny
  In the rich man's world
  Money, money, money
  Always sunny
  In the rich man's world
  Aha-ahaaa
  All the things I could do
  If I had a little money
  It's a rich man's world
  
  It's a rich man's world

  The last SBS fare hike, I wrote a complaint letter on a rude bus driver, using the fare hike as a basis not to condone such behaviours
  
  Did the same to a Comfort cab driver last time too when they raised the taxi fare . Then recently got one more bad driver... But since I was in a happy mood as I'm going to graduate, I let him off.

  Really.
  
  I know that whatever excuse they come up with, it will still be full of sh*t.
  
  I just want to know what the extent of the bullsh*t will be.

  I think a tricycle will be better or depend on horse and carriage. Back to the past
  
  Ya...everythings goes up. I used to buy a piece of black forest cake at 2.50 and now it has risen to 3.50!!! 2.00 laksa has gone up to 3.00. Coffee from 0.70cent gone up to 0.90cent.
  
  Gosh! anybody can name more?
