SINGAPORE — The Public Transport Council (PTC) has approved SBS Transit’s application to revise fares for its non-basic bus services — Nite Owl, Parks, Chinatown Direct and Premium services. The new fares will come into effect on Aug 3.

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 go up by 10 cents.

Children below the age of seven currently pay a fare when they travel on these 10 non-basic bus services. They will be allowed to ride for free when the fare revision begins, but children who are taller than 0.9m will still need a valid child concession card for this benefit.

The 31 Premium bus services will see the highest fare hike, with adult fares increasing between 20 cents and 70 cents.

These services ply direct routes from the heartlands to the Central Business District.

SBS Transit will inform commuters of the new fares through various channels, including the use of leaflets and its website. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
