SBS Transit, SMRT ask to raise bus and train fares

FUCKING AGAIN ?

SINGAPORE: Both SBS Transit and SMRT have applied to the Public Transport Council to raise bus and train fares. The exact fare increment will be determined later, using a standard formula, in this annual fare revision exercise. Energy costs have been a big drain on the two big public transport operators. Both companies have quoted rises of between 20 and 26 percent in this area alone. SBS Transit said manpower costs – its single largest cost component – have also increased by about S$12 million during the year, while SMRT said it would lose about S$11 million due to increases in GST and employer's CPF contributions.
