Ways to get refunds on Public transport

Fares for the MRT, LRT, Taxis and Buses have gone up. Read more to find out the Exact process of getting a generous subsidy from the bus companies!

Step 1 - queue for a very long time with many other sweaty people while trying to fill out complicated forms in English (eliminates 1/4 of the queue. Non-English speakers eliminated)

Step 2- face up to irritatingly bland and blur counter officers who try to misdirect and misinform you. (And a very good afternoon to you too! To get to the officer, turn right and walk back. See the exit sign over there? thats it) (another 1/4 stomps off at this point)

Step 3- try to call into the "service hotline" or "help" hotline. Spend 45 minutes listening to a monotonous machines that speaks too fast and press 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2 like a brainless chick until finally you are directed to a human relations officer who smugly informs you that it is now 4.59 p.m. and her shift is over.

Step 4- if some hardy soul finally gets to a person with any authority to grant subsities, the officer would try to intimidate you by double checking all the buses and MRT trains you tak (time, bus driver, liscence plate number) and then checking up on all your documents (bad luck if you didn't bring the correct ones in triplicate, try again next time)

Step 5- officer either declares you ineligible, kindly pointing out that you failed to read clause 4.3.1.2a of the size 4 small print. Or if you did read the small print, you are eligble.

CONGRATULATIONS! You get your refund of 40 cents and a subsidy of five cents for each bus ride!

O! What an efficient and affordable public transport system we have in Singapore!
