$60 Public Transport Vouchers to Provide Support for Lower-Income Households
14 Oct 2025Press Releases
1. To help lower-income households cope with the upcoming public transport fare adjustment, the Government will continue to provide Public Transport Vouchers (PTVs) to eligible households. Households whose monthly household income per person of not more than $1,800 can receive PTVs worth $60 each for the 2025 PTV Exercise. Households can use the PTVs to top up fare cards or purchase monthly passes following the public transport fare adjustment that will take effect from 27 December 2025.
2. Similar to the 2024 PTV Exercise, there will be two stages for the 2025 PTV Exercise. In the first stage, households that had received a voucher during the 2024 PTV Exercise and continue to meet the income eligibility criterion will automatically receive a PTV in this exercise. These households will receive their PTV notification letters via post or SMS by end-December 2025, based on their indicated contact preference from the previous PTV Exercise.
3. In the second stage starting from early 2026, households that meet the income eligibility criterion but did not receive a voucher in the first stage can apply for PTVs online or in person at their local Community Centres/Clubs (CCs). Details on the application process will be announced at a later date.
4. Upon receiving their PTV notification letter, households can follow the instructions on the letter to redeem their voucher via the SimplyGo app or at any SimplyGo Kiosk, Top-Up Kiosk, Assisted Service Kiosk, SimplyGo Ticket Office or SimplyGo Ticketing Service Centre from 29 December 2025 onwards. Vouchers for the 2025 PTV Exercise will be valid for redemption until 31 March 2027. Residents may approach their local CCs if they have any queries.
