here cost of living is much much muh higher.

unless i earn millions like some upper groups, its basically working to make ends meet (or barely sometimes) for most.

If the contract is an apple-to-apple comparison... I would want to find out why.

Actually, as commuters... we should care as long as the ride prices are not raised. The barriers should have been up in the first place. Why do we have to be in "reactive" mood for such basic safety issues?

prices wont be up 'yet'. but very soon all these expenses may be cited as reasons for upping the fare.

but anyway, I honestly don see why such barriers should be in place in the first place. People wanna commit suicide can go anywhere. how many places can you prevent? The basis is, why these people wanna commit suicide?

If that is not addressed, then if I wanna die, I can still easily climb over the half height barriers and go in mah. with the barriers, even harder to save people that climb over.

Circle Line could cost taxpayers $10 billion

By Christopher Tan, Senior Correspondent

THE good news is that stages of the new Circle Line that lead to downtown Singapore could open by the second quarter of next year, with the entire 33.3km, 29-station project ready by early-2011.

But the not-so-good news is that the project, which started in 2002, could cost taxpayers close to $10 billion, or 50 per cent more than the original $6.7 billion bill.

Sources close to the underground construction project - long delayed after a tunnelling accident in 2004 - said that Stages 1 and 2 of the line could open by early next year.
