Workers’ Party Statement on Public Transport Fare Review Exercise


The Workers’ Party (WP) welcomes the new and enhanced concession schemes to make public transport more affordable for people with disabilities, senior citizens, low-wage workers, students and full-time national servicemen. These groups will finally enjoy some overdue relief for their travel needs, for which the public and the WP have lobbied for years.

The concessions, however, should not be used as a sweetener to make the latest fare increases palatable.

With an initial increase of 3.2% in 2014 and an increase of 3.4% rolled over to the fare review exercise next year, this could mean a heftier increase in 2015. We are concerned that the majority of the commuters may still experience a very large overall fare increase of up to 6.6% in the next two years.

This latest round of fare hikes comes on the back of a substantial $1.1 billion government subsidy in our public transportation system through the Bus Services Enhancement Fund (BSEF) last year.

The fare hike has also come despite train breakdowns having become a regular affair, further compounding the frustrations of commuters, who are frequently affected by such service quality and reliability lapses.

We are disappointed that the fare hike will take place three months before the concession schemes for low-wage workers and people with disabilities are to be implemented. We call for the fare hike to be delayed until the new concession schemes are implemented.

The WP believes that public transport should be provided as a public good and not for profit. Service quality, reliability and fare affordability should come before the need to ensure the profitability of PTOs.

By the way, the most developed nations and whom many Singaporeans are working for in the MNCs are the most diverse nations. I do not see any Caucasians, Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese etc working for Singaporeans or Singapore companies. This is how 'great' Singaporeans has become under PAP.

Nah I don't vote for a party who uses dirty tactic to brain wash the young, making all sorts of wild allegation against our govt 24/7 365 days.



Using such underhand tactic to win vote speaks a lot about the party's integrity and its capability


I will only vote for a party who is able to create job and growth, bring the country to the next level unlike some opposition party keep bickering minor issue trying to score some political point in order to gain some recognition from the public. So far not even a single workable policy has been presented to the country !


A devil's advocate arh !

Hey Mr Mutu,

I guess there is some kind of mis-representation and misuse of the word "we" here.

I do not believe most Singaporeans are such extremist and senseless like yourself.

Please do not use "we" to represent ALL Singaporeans as you are making us sound really scary!!

I guess you are delusional. The above all fits PAP's track record. Singapore under PAP has fear, threats, retrenchment, recession and job losses before too. PAP is an ordinary as any government in the world with same mistakes.

WP has no track record because it has no chance to be government yet. If WP have the chance, I am sure Singapore will prosper as well. We all have eyes and ears and we all can see how well WP manage Hougang, Aljunied GRC and Punggol East with almost zero resources plus all the obstacles from PAP.
