Will cash payments on buses be affected by the increase?

Question

Accepted Answer

Cash Payments on Buses Will Not Be Affected by Fare Increase

Cash payments made on Singaporean buses will remain unaffected by the upcoming public transport fare adjustment. This means that passengers opting for cash transactions on buses will not experience any change in their fares, even as other payment methods see an increase.
Adult Fare Adjustment

Adult passengers utilising public transport in Singapore will face a 10-cent increase per journey. This fare hike follows a previous 6 per cent increase and applies to those paying with debit cards, credit cards, or fare cards.
Concessionary Fare Changes

The fare increase also extends to concessionary fares, impacting specific passenger groups. Seniors, students, individuals with disabilities, and low-wage workers will now pay an additional four cents per trip on public transport.
Public Transport Council's Fare Review

The Public Transport Council (PTC) announced the 2024 yearly fare adjustment exercise in September. While a full adjustment of 18.9 per cent was permissible for the current year, the council decided to defer 12.9 per cent of this adjustment to future reviews.
Government Support for Low-Income Households

To mitigate the impact of the fare hikes on vulnerable populations, the Singapore government will distribute S$60 public transport vouchers. These vouchers are intended for eligible low-income households with a monthly income of up to S$1,800 per person.
