I think hor, w/ e new fare structure. SMRT will make more profits nia, since there's no more transfer rebate bet bus & MRT.
The PM's husband will be happy since SMRT is under TH.

Iranian cleric: Promiscuous women cause quakes
By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI, Associated Press Writer Scheherezade Faramarzi, Associated Press Writer – Mon Apr 19, 1:35 pm ET<!-- end .byline -->
BEIRUT – A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear immodest clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.
Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate.
"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Sedighi is Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader.
Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of the hair.
"What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?" Sedighi asked during a prayer sermon Friday. "There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes."
Seismologists have warned for at least two decades that it is likely the sprawling capital will be struck by a catastrophic quake in the near future.
Some experts have even suggested Iran should move its capital to a less seismically active location. Tehran straddles scores of fault lines, including one more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) long, though it has not suffered a major quake since 1830.
In 2003, a powerful earthquake hit the southern city of Bam, killing 31,000 people — about a quarter of that city's population — and destroying its ancient mud-built citadel.
"A divine authority told me to tell the people to make a general repentance. Why? Because calamities threaten us," Sedighi said.
Referring to the violence that followed last June's disputed presidential election, he said, "The political earthquake that occurred was a reaction to some of the actions (that took place). And now, if a natural earthquake hits Tehran, no one will be able to confront such a calamity but God's power, only God's power. ... So let's not disappoint God."
The Iranian government and its security forces have been locked in a bloody battle with a large opposition movement that accuses Ahmadinejad of winning last year's vote by fraud.
Ahmadinejad made his quake prediction two weeks ago but said he could not give an exact date. He acknowledged that he could not order all of Tehran's 12 million people to evacuate. "But provisions have to be made. ... At least 5 million should leave Tehran so it is less crowded," the president said.
Minister of Welfare and Social Security Sadeq Mahsooli said prayers and pleas for forgiveness were the best "formulas to repel earthquakes."
"We cannot invent a system that prevents earthquakes, but God has created this system and that is to avoid sins, to pray, to seek forgiveness, pay alms and self-sacrifice," Mahsooli said.

Aft Jul 3, if u take CCL to Marymount to take 167 & 980, fares might go up $0.60 per trip. $1.20 per day!
If it's 135 - 169:
Current: $0.91 + $0.91 - $0.60 = $1.22
New: 5 + 5 fare stages = 10 (~ 8km). It would be $1.15 - $1.21
-
So if an earthquake destroys their nuclear facility they'll blame the west?

no more fare rebate.Either u take bus fully tat cost less or w/ MRT tat will cost more.
For MRT - 167/ 980
MRT is $0.95. Bus will cost $0.91. So new fares will likely cost $1.86
Current is $0.95 + $0.91 - $0.60 = $1.26
So u loss transfer rebate le.

actually the fare structure I suspect to prepare for bus - bus interchanges. Probably they might have major bus stops to allow u to transfer buses where they've bigger connectivity.as for ur place, actually can have direct bus sv de. but demand wun be high.

Actually only those students who take express svs really gain
Those MI (pre - U) students take 506 from Toa Payoh or Bedok Reservoir to Bt Batok. Instead of paying bet $1.95 to $2.25, they will only pay $0.88 come Jul 3. Thks to new student fare for express buses.
I found a mistake!
-
morning.
Ok I got the info better now.
So now if u take bus - MRT - bus, your fare would be tabulated based on the MRT fare table.
If you only take bus, it will be based on bus fare table.
The catch is, if u take trunk/ feeder - express or MRT - express, top up 60c.

If like fudgie's case, take 43/ 76/ 135 to Paya Lebar transfer to EWL and finally to 96. Tis connection trip alone might go up by 30c - 40c at 1 go.
But if fudgie takes 48 - 151, there might be fare reduction.
The overwhelming majority of my public transport trips in a single month consists of bus -> MRT -> bus.
In other words, I pay more, right?
