This makes it the largest fare hike in recent years.\nAnnounced by the\nPublic Transport Council on October 8th\n, the price increase will be tiered according to various income and age groups, as well as payment methods.\nSenior citizens, low-wage workers, persons with disabilities and students will see the smallest increase of four cents per journey.\nAdults, the majority of whom use EZ-Link cards, will be paying 9 cents more per journey. EZ-Link cards account nearly two-thirds of all trips on bus and MRT.\nBut the biggest price hike will be for those who pay by cash or buy single-trip tickets -- mostly visitors or infrequent users -- who will pay 20 cents more per trip.\nPolytechnic students will, however, see their fares fall, after student concessions were also extended to them, allowing them to save up to $1.54 per trip.\nThose looking to save on their daily commute could switch to\nSimplyGo\nor use\ncredit cards\nlinked to EZ-Link to earn miles, cashbacks and rebates on the go.\nThe Ministry of Transport will also help cushion the impact of higher train and bus fares for lower-income families.\nEarlier this year, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said the Government will extend 50 per cent more Public Transport Vouchers and increase the value of each voucher to $50, up from $30.\nGraphic: Public Transport Council\nMRTs and bus operators submitted their revised fare applications to the PTC in September this year. According to PTC, the annual fare review is based on a formula that considers a range of factors including:\nEnergy prices\nInflation\nManpower costs\nCommuter demand\nEnhancements and growth in public transport capacity\nOver 1,000 buses and 200 trains have been added to Singapore’s public transport network over the last 5 years.\nThe Council stated, “The largest contributing factor for the fare formula output quantum is the double-digit increase in energy prices, having rebounded 26.2 per cent in 2017, and 32.3 per cent in 2018.”\nRead these next:\n4 Credit Cards You Can Use as Your EZ-Link Card\nHow To Earn Miles On MRT And Bus Rides With SimplyGo","attrs_markdown":"menu\n\n[![SingSaver-Coloured-logo-updated](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/hubfs\/SingSaver-Coloured-logo-updated.png)](https:\/\/www.singsaver.com.sg\/)\n\nclose\n\n- [Credit Card]()\n  -

Meta Title	Bus, MRT fares set to rise as much as 7% in 2020: PTC \| SingSaver
Meta Description	Public transport fares could be set to rise by 7% next year, as the Public Transport Council (PTC) began its annual fare review exercise on Tuesday.

Boilerpipe Text	Public transport fares will rise by 7% from December as the Public Transport Council (PTC) concludes its annual fare review exercise. Driven by a surge in fuel and energy costs, bus and train fares will rise by 7% starting from December 28 this year. This makes it the largest fare hike in recent years. Announced by the Public Transport Council on October 8th , the price increase will be tiered according to various income and age groups, as well as payment methods. Senior citizens, low-wage workers, persons with disabilities and students will see the smallest increase of four cents per journey. Adults, the majority of whom use EZ-Link cards, will be paying 9 cents more per journey. EZ-Link cards account nearly two-thirds of all trips on bus and MRT. But the biggest price hike will be for those who pay by cash or buy single-trip tickets -- mostly visitors or infrequent users -- who will pay 20 cents more per trip. Polytechnic students will, however, see their fares fall, after student concessions were also extended to them, allowing them to save up to $1.54 per trip. Those looking to save on their daily commute could switch to SimplyGo or use credit cards linked to EZ-Link to earn miles, cashbacks and rebates on the go. The Ministry of Transport will also help cushion the impact of higher train and bus fares for lower-income families. Earlier this year, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said the Government will extend 50 per cent more Public Transport Vouchers and increase the value of each voucher to $50, up from $30. Graphic: Public Transport Council MRTs and bus operators submitted their revised fare applications to the PTC in September this year. According to PTC, the annual fare review is based on a formula that considers a range of factors including: Energy prices Inflation Manpower costs Commuter demand Enhancements and growth in public transport capacity Over 1,000 buses and 200 trains have been added to Singapore’s public transport network over the last 5 years. The Council stated, “The largest contributing factor for the fare formula output quantum is the double-digit increase in energy prices, having rebounded 26.2 per cent in 2017, and 32.3 per cent in 2018.” Read these next: 4 Credit Cards You Can Use as Your EZ-Link Card How To Earn Miles On MRT And Bus Rides With SimplyGo

Adults, the majority of whom use EZ-Link cards, will be paying 9 cents more per journey. EZ-Link cards account nearly two-thirds of all trips on bus and MRT. But the biggest price hike will be for those who pay by cash or buy single-trip tickets -- mostly visitors or infrequent users -- who will pay 20 cents more per trip. Polytechnic students will, however, see their fares fall, after student concessions were also extended to them, allowing them to save up to \$1.54 per trip. Those looking to save on their daily commute could switch to [SimplyGo](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/earn-miles-mrt-bus-simplygo) or use [credit cards](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/credit-cards-you-can-use-as-your-ez-link-card) linked to EZ-Link to earn miles, cashbacks and rebates on the go. The Ministry of Transport will also help cushion the impact of higher train and bus fares for lower-income families. Earlier this year, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said the Government will extend 50 per cent more Public Transport Vouchers and increase the value of each voucher to \$50, up from \$30. ![Fare Review Exercise 2019](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/hubfs/assets_singsaver/ptc-fare-review-exercise-2019.jpg) Graphic: Public Transport Council MRTs and bus operators submitted their revised fare applications to the PTC in September this year. According to PTC, the annual fare review is based on a formula that considers a range of factors including: - Energy prices - Inflation - Manpower costs - Commuter demand - Enhancements and growth in public transport capacity Over 1,000 buses and 200 trains have been added to Singapore’s public transport network over the last 5 years. The Council stated, “The largest contributing factor for the fare formula output quantum is the double-digit increase in energy prices, having rebounded 26.2 per cent in 2017, and 32.3 per cent in 2018.” * Read these next:** [4 Credit Cards You Can Use as Your EZ-Link Card](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/credit-cards-you-can-use-as-your-ez-link-card) [How To Earn Miles On MRT And Bus Rides With SimplyGo](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/earn-miles-mrt-bus-simplygo) Similar articles [How To Earn Miles On MRT And Bus Rides With SimplyGo](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/earn-miles-mrt-bus-simplygo) [UOB YOLO Is Now The UOB EVOL: What’s Changed?](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/uob-yolo-relaunch-uob-evol) [11 Credit Cards You Can Use As Your EZ-Link Card For Bus/MRT Via SimplyGo](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/credit-cards-you-can-use-as-your-ez-link-card) [15 Ways Life Is Financially Different Today For Singaporean Millennials Than Previous Generations: 1990s VS 2020s](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/1990s-vs-2020s) [4 Student Credit Cards That Also Earn You Miles and Cashback](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/student-credit-cards-singapore) [The Real Cost: How Much Do I Need to Earn to Live Comfortably in Singapore?](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/cost-of-living-in-singapore-how-much-do-you-need-to-earn-to-live-comfortably) [EZ-Link vs EZ-Reload vs SimplyGo: Best App + Card To Pay For Public Transport in Singapore](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/best-public-transport-pay-option-singapore) [2021 Public Transport Fare Structure And Tips On How You Can Save](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/new-public-transport-fare-and-tips-to-save) Tags [Loan Reviews](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/tag/loan-reviews) [Public transport](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/tag/public-transport) [MRT](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/tag/mrt) [Bus](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/tag/bus) [Budgeting](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/tag/budgeting) ![SingSaver team](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/hubfs/SingSaver_logo.jpg) ### [SingSaver team](https://www.singsaver.com.sg/blog/author/singsaver-team) At SingSaver, we make personal finance accessible with easy to understand personal finance reads, tools and money hacks that simplify all of life’s financial decisions for you.
