The Paradise Island Template

By Kopi Lim

Paradise Island, Dec 21 (Roosters)
Buying a train ticket in
Paradise Island may not be a cakewalk anymore.

Under the new commuter-protection rules that take effect Jan 1,
commuters in the tightly controlled island must possess
certain educational qualifications related to taking public transportation or have
relevant train boarding experience to buy train tickets directly.

Those who fail to meet the Transport Authority of Paradise
(TAP) requirements must take a series of on-line tutorials on
the Transport Interchange website, and answer the
questions correctly in order to qualify to buy train tickets.
All commuters are given a grace of one year period to pass this test or they will not be allowed to buy train tickets anymore.

I am sad that this has degenerated into a farce. Its ok or actually its not ok that the cogs are falling apart. do we sinkies have the moral courage to say enough is enough... or do we have to hope for 2016 and be disappointed yet again?

One other forumner at TR predicted the percentage to be 55% in 2016 and only by 2021 will it be <50% ...

Have they implemented the balancing test on a jerking bus or the ironhead test before you can board a SMRT bus?
