Tampines has officially reached peak efficiency after two women were spotted bypassing expensive private hires by using a rental bike's front basket as a passenger seat.

The revolutionary "Human Cargo" initiative allows one Singaporean to cycle while the other experiences the thrill of having their spine folded like a budget IKEA lawn chair.

Anywheel expressed "disappointment" at the stunt, primarily because they haven't yet figured out how to charge a "double occupancy" surcharge for people identifying as groceries.

Local onlookers were stunned that the flimsy plastic mesh didn't immediately shatter under the weight of such blatant financial desperation.

"Eh, now everything so expensive, might as well sit inside like one cabbage," remarked a passerby.

"If the basket snap, then she just walk lah, no big deal!"
