      well its either wages go up and fares go up


      or wages go up and fares stay the same and management gets a pay cut/ pay stagnate

      but we're living in the real world

      so it's wages go up and fares go up

      Advertisements on buses goes to who har? Under a separate entity for profit is it? If the heart is set out to keep fares from rising, I do not believe there can be no other way than to cut wages.

      the easiest way to convince yourself to believe is you go work in the bus company, either SMRT or SBS Transit

                not a matter of want or don't want, is a matter of willing or not willing

                everything also want, just not willing to pay

                  Workers in essential services are not encouraged to go on strike. Imagine doctors, teachers etc follow suit...


                  If pay is an issue, then go work in another company 😞

                    yah! like CEO and top management not willing to minus 1 month bonus so that they can distribute it to their drivers.

                    oh, CEO not happy, going to quit ah? oh dear! where else can we find top talents like ex chief of defense to do the job??


                    This is just hypothetical, of course = )
