I'll just like to expand a bit on this.
Consider this scenario,
MRT fares rise towards say, S$10 a trip due to policy factors. Bus fares, remain the same, but over time, becomes erratic and buses only arrive once an hr (to maintain the price)
Now, on the one hand, we can say public transport is not affordable. On the other hand, we can also say we can lower our expectations and take the bus instead of the MRT, waiting for 1 hr and waking up early; instead of complaining that the public transport is no longer affordable. For me, I will prefer to lobby against the rise to S$10, whilst for you, you prefer to lower the expectation and take the bus. Both are fine approaches.
I do understand where you are coming from, and I think you also do understand my views. Unfortunately, both views, whilst equally valid, can't really gel with one another. But at least after some to and fros, I think both parties now understand each other's points fully and I'm glad that is achieved in this discussion.
Cheers!

Then what are you planning to do till your lobbying is sucessful....
* sit at Hong Lim park all day long ??
* boycott both MRT & Bus till they give in... in the mean time, stop going to work ??
You still must do something to keep your life going, right ?? :think:
