Hmm. Just found out that there may be fare increases for public transport in Singapore. Again. This time the justification is increased security measures on public transport in view of the Madrid bomb blast. Heck. Everytime something happens, they'll do a review (that's good) implement some new measures (maybe not that good) and come up with some cost increasing policy (DEFINITELY not good).

Where increased security measures are for the interest of the commuter, does it not also benefit the transport provider in preventing loss of assets which will lead to loss of revenue? I have to take transport everyday, so there is no way I can avoid this increase in expenditure. At this time when salaries are not increasing as they used to, we are experiencing one of the worst periods in history with regards to all manner or fare and fee increase.
