Fare Revision For SBS Transit's Non-Basic Bus Services

The Public Transport Council (PTC) has approved SBS Transit's application to revise the fares of its non-basic bus services - Nite Owl, Parks, Chinatown Direct and Premium services. The new fares will come into effect on Sunday, 3 August 2014.

Adult fares for the six Nite Owl services will increase by between 10 and 20 cents while Senior Citizen Concession fares will increase by between 5 and 10 cents. Student Concession fares will increase by 5 cents.

For Parks Service 408 and the three Chinatown Direct services, adult fares will see an increase of 10 cents, while Senior Citizen and Student Concession fares will increase by 5 cents.

On the other hand, children below the age of 7 who are currently charged a fare on these 10 non-basic bus services will now get to enjoy free travel. Those who are taller than 0.9m will need a valid child concession card to enjoy this benefit.

For the 31 Premium bus services, which provide guaranteed seating from the heartlands to the Central Business District, adult fares will increase by between 20 and 70 cents.

Commuters will be informed of the new fares through various channels including leaflets and the SBS Transit website (www.sbstransit.com.sg)
