Number 1 Increase - More ERP Gantries, including the chinatown area!Ouch! Check out the Number of ERP Gantries that make up Singapore! Could be one of the 7 wonders of the modern world!
The ERP gantries are polluting Singapore Roads!This map thingy is quite good as it shows and tells the timing and cost of each gantry so as to ease your travelling plans! http://www.oneshift.com/maps/index.php

Number 3 Increase - Saw it on papers a few days back, in a few weeks time, bus fares are gonna increase also! Annual Increment for bus fares!Heez!Although they say its not more than 6 cents, but come on, if everyday take 2 bus, for one month its already $3.60 more on top of our average $100 transport fee a month!Crapz...

After Food, petrol and transport prices increases -> inflation -> people spend less -> economic slows down -> recession once again!Crapz!

So better start saving now, get a iron rice bowl job and hope for the best!

Just knew there is a new surcharge for taxi called the "City Area Surcharge" which is $3!!!What's next...Is the Taxi Meter gonna roll freely like the Crazy Taxi game in the near future?

Can you imagine how expensive it is to take a cab from the city area now...Lets say if you work in Tanjong Pagar and gotta rush home(Ang Mo Kio) after 6pm at work = Daylight Robbery!

Basic Fare of $2.80 + $6(for distance home) + $3.10(35% peak period) + $3(CBD) + $3(City Area Surcharge) + $2(ERP at CTE) = $19.90!!

That is crazy lah, somemore got traffic jam even worst. Not sure if the CBD surcharge and the City Surcharge can be charged together, if so, really ridiculous!Boycott Taxi!

Add this word to the dicitonary - Taxinflation
