Fare cheats, watch out * Singapore - Bus fare dodgers can be fined too
Penalties already in place for MRT fare evaders
Singapore -Electric New Paper, by Mindy Tan -May 04, 2008: -- From 1 Jul, if you are caught not paying, or underpaying on buses, you will be fined $20... Those who misuse concession cards, suchas those meant specifically for students or full-time national servicemen, will be fined $50... The Public Transport Council (PTC), which imposed the penalties, said before, fare cheats on buses only needed to pay the evaded fare... TransitLink had estimated that there are 42,000 cases of fare evasion on public buses every day. This translates to an annual loss of about $9 million in fares... (Video from Youtube, by butchieenorsk -April 28, 2007: "Singaporean Bus Driver" - On the 26th of April the bus driver suddenly stops just after Holland V. The reason?! A teenager didn't pay enough money so all passengers had to wait for 20 minutes until another a representative from the bus company came and took the teenager away)
