Reviewing Quantum of Morning Pre-peak Fares Discount

Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) whether the Public Transport Council will be increasing the quantum of the Morning Pre-Peak Fares discount, currently set at 50 cents since its introduction in 2017; and (b) if so, what considerations will guide the increment of this fare incentive.

The Public Transport Council (PTC) reviews public transport fares annually, including all concession and discount schemes, such as the Morning Pre-Peak Fares discount scheme. In making any adjustments, PTC will consider factors such as affordability, financial sustainability of the public transport system and peak period crowding. PTC will announce its decision for its 2025 review later this year.
