Last time fare increase talks about increase in cost. Now cost not increase, but service level DROPS like bird shit, so they use another asscuse to increase.

Thank the 60.1% for granting them the liberty to DO AS THEY WISH governing. Everything without resistence, without reason, without a care if pple are struggling or what shit. So long as their ivory tower is well laden with luxury.

The mindset of our leaders is "expect pay increase" as though they can foretell the future. Or is it not a fact they have this increase in mind and are planning for it all along?

With a good government, they should do their utmost not to allow any increase instead of helping the "private" operators. But we all know they are hand in glove and thus we are doom and should expect fares to increase because this is what the government wants. Suck the public's blood.

Then suddenly became private operators.

And now private operators need "approval" from a half government Public Transport Council (PTC) to increase fares.
