A brave new world - Nungsari Radhi
But i still dont get why every decision that raises prices is tied to gst. Delaying fare increases for trains and LRT means all taxpayers - instead of users will continue to pay for their operating losses. Two things immediately come to mind.
The reaction to the fare increases itself explains the need for them. It was made known by SPAD that taxi and bus fares had not been revised for six years, LRT fares for 17 years and KTM Komuter service fares for 6 years. Meanwhile, KTM's intercity service fares havent not changed for 25 years.
Quite clearly, we avoid short term the much less painful short term decision to adjust prices incrementally and postponed them to a point when things become intolerable. But, given the time that elapsed, the required adjustment will be significant. Long delays in price adjustments produce price distortions, which make corrections harder.
