Mr Low Wu Yang Andre asked the Acting Minister for Transport with regard to the $4 per ride fare for the autonomous vehicle trials in Punggol
a. how did the Ministry arrive at the $4 fare;
b. whether the Ministry has studied the affordability levels for the population in Punggol; and
c. if so, what percentage of the target ridership will find this fare affordable.
Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:
1. The starting fares of the Punggol autonomous shuttles in this pilot phase were determined by the operators in consultation with the Ministry of Transport/Land Transport Authority. We expect the fares to be adjusted over time depending on ridership demand.
