Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Proposal to Make Adult Monthly Travel Card Cheaper to Encourage Switch to Public Transport

Ms Mariam Jaafar asked the Minister for Transport whether the Adult Monthly Travel Card can be made cheaper to encourage more people to switch to public transport as their default mode of transportation.

Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:

1.     Public transport is heavily subsidised in Singapore and this has helped to keep fares affordable.

2.     The Adult Monthly Travel Pass further lowers the cost for heavy users of public transport. Any reduction in the pass price will reduce revenues and need to be offset by fare increases for other commuter segments and/or other measures. The pricing of the Adult Monthly Travel Pass is regularly reviewed by the Public Transport Council as part of its annual Fare Review Exercises, balancing the affordability and financial sustainability of the public transport system.
