Differentiated Discount Rate for Travel during Peak and Off-peak Periods for PWD Concession Scheme

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether the Government will consider implementing a differentiated discount rate for travel during peak and off-peak periods for the existing Persons With Disabilities (PWD) concession scheme.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: Today, persons with disabilities enjoy up to 55% off adult per-journey fares. Like all commuters, if they travel before 7.45 am on weekdays, they can save an additional 50 cents on the Mass Rapid Transit. They can also purchase monthly concession passes currently priced at $58 for unlimited travel on train and basic bus services.
