  5. 2/3 will pay less if and only if you make more than 5 transfer lah hahaha.

    They have perfected the art of increasing fee without the word increase. Make simple things complex, complexer, complexest to confuse, confuser, confusest people. Uniquely Singapore.

  6. THE DISTANCE FARE SHOULD BE REPHRASED AS FARE HIKE !!! At least, commuters will not feel being cheated. We were all earlier advised that the Distance Fare was supposed to REDUCE our fare, and now we are all being cheated.

    Since the implementation of Distance Fare on 3 July 2010, the public have been voicing their annoyance and frustration, however, our Government and all relevant authoriities seem to be keeping SILENT ?!!!

    This evening, I just sent an online feedback to Mr Gerard Ee, Chairman of PTC, I said, my only concern, who is paying for my increased bus fare, and why do commuters travelling on Direct Route have to subsize for those commuters who need to transfer routes?!
