Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Fadli Fawzi asked the Minister for Transport

a.          based on current travel patterns, how many adults and senior citizens are projected to spend more than $122 and $55 a month respectively on public transport following the fare increase in December 2026;

b.          whether the Government will consider using agencies such as the People's Association to encourage take-up of monthly transport passes; and

c.           if not, why not.

Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow

1.          Approximately 87,000 adults and 74,000 senior citizens are expected to spend more than $122 and $55 a month respectively on public transport. This is in addition to the approximately 24,000 adult and 42,000 seniors who use monthly passes and would be spending more without the passes.

2.          The Public Transport Council actively promotes the monthly passes to encourage take-up. It is working with SimplyGo to notify commuters who may benefit from the monthly passes based on historical travel patterns. They will also work with government agencies such as the People’s Association to promote the passes.
