Singapore ranks amongst cities with cheapest public transport fares

A monthly pass costs just around 1.9% of the average net wage in the country.

Singapore has amongst the cheapest public transport fares in the world, a report found.

Picodi analysts noted that a monthly pass in the city costs S$128, which accounts for only 1.9% of the average net wage in Singapore.

This result is similar to ratios in New York (2.1%) and Reykjavik (1.8%).

In contrary, the most expensive single tickets can be found in London ($5.19), Zurich ($4.75) and Oslo ($3.91); whilst the highest prices for monthly passes are paid by citizens of London ($271), Melbourne ($190) and Dublin ($166).

Moreover, of the 45 cities, three cities–Luxembourg, Estonia's capital, Tallinn and Malta's capital, Valletta– offer an entirely free public transport.

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.
