Public transport operators SMRT and SBS Transit have announced extended service hours for Labour Day eve, ensuring that transport staff have the privilege of working extra hours to celebrate the holiday of not working.

The extension means that while you are out getting smashed on cheap liquor, some poor bus driver will be working until 1:40 AM just to witness you behave like a total kanina on his upholstery.

Authorities claim the extra 30 minutes of train service is a vital social service designed to let you delay the inevitable realization that your daily grind is a dead-end void.

“We want every Sinkie to stay out late enough to forget they have a meeting at 9 AM on the 2nd of May,” a spokesperson said while polishing his golden handcuffs.

Residents of Sengkang and Punggol were seen celebrating the 1:09 AM LRT extension, which finally allows them to stay at the office until midnight and still make it home before the sun kills their spirit.

“It’s truly a miracle,” said one tired office drone, “now I can finish my OT and take the train home instead of spending my meager salary on a private hire car that costs more than my life.”

The Ministry of Manpower reminded the public that Labour Day is about honoring the worker, which is why they are specifically honoring transport workers by making them work on the eve of their own holiday.

"If the bus drivers didn't want to work late, they should have been born into a family with a $10 million inheritance," the Ministry added in a leaked internal memo.

Commuters are urged to use the extended hours to contemplate the deep irony of a system that requires more labor to celebrate the end of labor.

Anyone found looking too happy on the late-night trains will be subject to a random bag check to ensure they aren't carrying any illicit traces of joy or hope.

"At the end of the day, we just want you to be as miserable and productive as possible," the SMRT statement concluded.
