Is the Singapore fare formula fair?

A newly formed Fare Review Committee will investigate and possibly propose the lowering of public transport fares.

The committee -- which is composed of 13 members from the Public Transport Council, academia, consumer association, labor movement, and private and people sectors -- has been asked to review the effectiveness of the current fare adjustment formula.

It will also propose improvements to the formula and the overall framewrok for fare adjustments, said the Ministry of Transport (MoT) in a release.

The review will be completed and recommendations put froward to the Minister of Transport in early 2013.

"The revised fare review framework should balance keeping public transport fares affordable with the long-term viability of the public transport operators (PTOs) and should incentivise the PTOs to be efficient and encourage productivity improvement," said MoT.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
