Very good suggestions
. In fact normal citizens or people from the ground, taxi-drivers, commuters, uncles and aunties can do a better job than those big guns from the Transport Dept. Sometimes experience is much better than paper qualifications.
Don't forget those big guns either owns a car or chauffeur driven. Probably seldom ride on a cab.
There is a chinese saying........the bees and the ants are normally very hard working and organised. Do not disturb their nest when nothing is wrong. Next, when you chop down trees, all monkies will run away. In this case, taxi-drivers tend to give up driving a cab.
The big guns knew they make a blunder.
But nobody will admit they make a mistake just to save face. Gradually, slowly, when everything dies down,
when most people switch to trains or buses, after a year or so, the big guns will start firing again. Otherwise people may think they have nothing better to do.
Whether they bring down the fares, or do otherwise, they will claim it is for the good of Singaporeans. The authorities only care for the people, it is for the good of the general public that adjustments are made. No mistakes had been done. The present situation calls for adjustments to be rectified. Nobody makes any mistakes.
Lets wait and see.
