Scheduled Maintenance
The Ministry of Transport website will be undergoing scheduled maintenance from 21 Dec (Saturday) 10pm to 22 Dec (Sunday) 6am, and may not be available during this period. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Please note that applications for the 2023 Public Transport Voucher (PTV) Exercise have closed on 31 October 2024. More details on applications for the 2024 PTV Exercise will be announced in early 2025. |
In years of fare increases, operators are required to contribute part of their increased fare revenue to the Public Transport Fund. Financial penalties collected from PTOs when significant disruptions occur are also paid into the Fund. The Government then draws from the Fund to disburse Public Transport Vouchers (PTVs) to help lower-income households cope with fare adjustments. The Government will also supplement the Public Transport Fund from time to time.
As a fare increase will be implemented on 28 December 2024, the Government will be making available PTVs worth $60 each as part of the 2024 PTV Exercise. The income eligibility criterion for PTVs has also been raised to cover resident households with monthly household income per person of not more than $1,800, compared to $1,600 in the 2023 Exercise.
Households who had received a voucher in the 2023 Exercise and remain eligible will automatically receive a PTV notification letter via post by end-December 2024. Those who have indicated their preference for digital means of communication with LetterSG will also receive a digital letter by end-December 2024. More details on applications for the 2024 PTV Exercise will be announced in early 2025.
