When fares were raised in 2010, they said this was necessary to maintain the MRT's high reliability standards.
When the MRTs started to breakdown, they said they needed to raise fares becase of "higher fuel costs".
Now that breakdowns have increased and fuel costs down, they're telling us fare hikes are necessary because Singaporeans are "earning more".
The Public Transport Council will always find excuses to raise fares. All this while, transport companies have been making obscene profits while pocketing taxpayers' money.
Next thing you know, they'll start telling us that a breakdown is not really a breakdown, just "trains treveling at slower speeds".
