Reasons for Public Transport Fare Hikes and Help for Lower-Income Singaporeans

Mr Mohd Fahmi Aliman asked the Minister for Transport (a) how many public transport fare hikes are there in the past two years; (b) what are the underlying reasons for such fare hikes in the past two years; and (c) apart from the one-off public transport vouchers given to lower and middle-income Singaporeans, whether additional measures will be put in place to alleviate the increased financial burden on lower-income Singaporeans in the long run.

Mr S Iswaran: I thank the Member for his question. I will address them in my reply at the 8 November 2022 Parliament sitting. [Please refer to "Public Transport Fare Adjustment in Fare Review Exercise 2022", Official Report, 08 November 2022, Vol 95, Issue 74, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
