SINGAPORE: Public commuters may get the break many have
been asking for this year.
Bus fares and train fares are coming down.
In light of the Budget announced Thursday, where a big focus was on
helping companies cope with costs, public transport operators SBS
Transit and SMRT have now said they will not apply for any fare
adjustment this year.
In fact they are working with the Public Transport Council (PTC) to
pass on savings they will receive from this year's Budget to
commuters.
Welcoming the move, the PTC said in a statement released Friday all
parties are committed to reduce bus and train fares for this
year.
In light of the difficult economic times, the PTC will expedite its
work.
It aims to announce the reduced bus and train fares by the end of
next month.
