Public transport fare adjustment now on review

PTC will complete the assessment by 1Q18.

The Public Transport Council has commenced the review of the public transport fare adjustment formula and mechanism.

The council targets to complete the necessary review by the first quarter of 2018, and apply the reviewed formula and mechanism starting from the 2018 annual Fare Review Exercise.

In the review, the PTC will examine the effectiveness of the current fare adjustment formula and mechanism, and propose improvements in consideration of the changes to the public transport industry.

The review will be focussing on maintaining a good balance in keeping public transport fares affordable whilst ensuring the financial viability of the public transport system.

During the period of review, the council will be engaging with the commuters, as well as transport operators and experts.

Meanwhile, the current fare adjustment formula and mechanism will remain valid for the 2017 Fare Review Exercise.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
