Why is there a need for fare increase when the govt is collecting record amounts from COEs.

To encourage more people to take public transport they should not increase fares but sue the massive surplus from COE to offset need for fare increase.

Doing so will help relieve some inflation effects and also that of GST. Its like the people are getting hit from all sides....and it is unnecessary.

Inflation is created by them, when the problem arises after inflation, they ask you to foot the bill lah.

If there is no inflation, there is no need to raise the fare. If they raise the fare, this is called profiteering.
