真的不明白为什么这么多人从新山乘搭CW1或者160／170都已现金支付。其实连乘搭CW1支付RM1到克兰芝地铁站都贵过使用“易通卡”（除了乘搭地铁到油池站－这情况十分特别，与旧车资行程及相等的车资有关联）。
如果乘客乘搭CW1黄Bus,在一些行程肯定要支付超过$2新币的车资。
乘搭170在新山使用“易通卡”除了乘搭环线或东北地铁线不必支付$2.
以下是新旧车资相比的结论。

新加坡新巴士与地铁车资 － 160与170号巴士
新加坡新的《以车程计算车资系统》刚刚在拜六实施。刚刚看了新传媒的8频道6：30pm新闻看了乘客的投诉。投诉指的是160和170号巴士从新山到新加坡克兰芝地铁站的车资从9角／1元2角提高到1元2角半／1元4角（前者为新山市区，后者为拉庆终站）。
其实那些在新加坡三所大学或者是在裕廊工作的大马人，反而省下1新币的车费！
本人拿一个比例。从新山市区到南洋理工大学(NTU) North Spine。
以前：（从拉庆）$1.21 (170车程）＋ $1.53 （地铁车程至文礼）＋ $0.91 （179号巴士前往南大）－ $1 （转车回扣）: $2.65.
新的计算方式：$1.41 （170车程）＋ $0.43 （地铁车程至文礼）＋ $0.04（179号巴士前往南大）: $1.88。省下7角7分！ （回程是$1.91)。
如果是从新山市区将是从原本的$2.35降低至$1.84。回程是$1.89。省下5角1分！
简单的说，现在如果我乘搭170巴士5公里，转搭地铁10公里，车资是以地铁15公里的行程计算。

反观现在乘搭黄巴CW1付现钱不划算。RM1.40（新币5角7分） （车票）＋ $1.53 (地铁车程至文礼）＋ $0.17 (179号巴士前往南大）: $2.30车资！回程更不用说。
但是那些乘搭170直达兀兰路或转搭925号巴士前往工作地点的乘客将得多支付3角至4角的车资。
希望现在那些在新加坡就读或者是做工的大马人应该会了解了吧。

Cross Border Bus Svs - PSV license
I'm referrring to the S$25 PSV license Malaysian (and a small number of Thai registered coaches) coaches has to pay in order to be allowed to enter Singapore.
This includes the Malaysian Yellow public bus that plies in particularly between Kranji & JB (CW1) and Queen St & JB (CW2).
They're competing with SBS and SJE respectively (not to mention the subsidised diesel and so on) yet they SBS & SJE are made to pay $1100 PSV road tax a year instead.
I received an reply from MOT saying that it cannot be compared as the Malaysian buses are only allowed to stop at 'designated' locations in Singapore.
Yeah, that means our SJE in particular should be paying S$25 road tax instead as well since the CW2's 'designated' location is the same as SJE.
I think SJE should consider relocating the business to register at JB instead since there's this loophole. Everything is still lower cost in Malaysia.
Our Singapore government has well forgotten how humiliated they were when Maersk & Evergreen left PSA thanks to it's stubborn stance over shipping rates (rates was only lowered when other lines threatened to follow suit). Needless to mention the head of PSA then was an ex - defence minister back in the 1990s who said "We do not compete with prices.".
I think they deserve to taste it one more time to realise their policy need to evolve around Singaporeans and not expecting Singaporeans evolve around it. It's not as if there's loopholes around.
Instead of collecting less, people relocate elsewhere and forget about collecting taxes and Singaporeans being employed.
Needless to mention they still believe the cramped New Boon Lay Bus Int is mindful of commuters needs. So who takes public transport daily? Those scholars who rarely take public transportation or the thousands of ordinary Singaporeans and bus drivers whose breaks are forfeited who have to face this?

Kranji MRT Station bus stop mess
For many Singaporeans rarely takes public transport to JB, the Kranji MRT Station is the main gateway for people to cross the border with SBS Sv 160, 170 (Red plate), 170 (Blue plate) & CW1.
In any case the cheapest (After transfer rebate the fare payable is 41c), busiest and most frequent service is the SBS Sv 170 (blue plate), boarding point being the bus stop outside Kranji Stn.
The CW1 service is the most expensive to board at Kranji with $1.30 cash fare payable onboard. CEPAS cards are not accepted being a Malaysian bus.
On Fridays, the queue can be ultra long because many Malaysians working in Singapore would head back home to enjoy the typical weekend. The queue can be long due to two main reasons: passenger load and jam at Causeway.
The lorry jam that regularly occurs on Fridays creates more problem. As many lorry drivers does not leave a gap at the bus stop, passengers are forced to board/ alight beside the lorries along the road rendering the bus stop bay useless. This applies to those who boards Sv 160 & 170 (Red plate) to JB at the bus stop Opp Kranji Stn.
These passengers have to brave though being bulldozed by the lorries as they take no regard for human traffic (It's typical in Malaysia).
Actually this hazard to commuters isn't just isolated to Kranji MRT Station. The bus stops along Woodlands Rd (From Yew Tee onwards) are blocked by the formed up lorries. Commuters has to brave standing on the road and the lorries to wait for their buses.
Even the left turning facility to Kranji Rd at the Kranji Rd/ Turf Club Ave/ Woodlands Rd junction is blocked.
Then comes the security issue. Many commuters boarding at the Opp Kranji Stn bus stop refuse to queue in an orderly manner (possibly human mentality of wanting to board the early bus to get home). Then comes commuters pushing each other. I wonder has any commuter suffered being pickpocketed before.
I ever saw a group of them boarding the bus from the exit door and evaded payment. It's a chaos.
To me, such mess an security hazard towards public transport facilities.
I think this Kranji MRT station bus stop is the most outcast public transport facility in the entire Singapore in terms of orderly.
