Singapore rail fares amongst world's cheapest

It's at the bottom four.

According to a new blog post by Public Transport Council (PTC) chairman Richard Magnus, Singapore's rail fares are among the lowest in 35 major cities across Asia, Australia, North America and Europe.

Based on the study commissioned by PTC, Singapore's lowest rail fare at $0.77 is marginally higher than the minimum fares of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Taipei.

Results show that within Asia, the rail fares in Singapore are amongst the lowest, while rail fares in cities like Tokyo and Seoul lie on the higher end of the spectrum in Asia.

When compared to cities in Australia, Europe and North America, rail fares in Singapore are considerably lower.

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.
