SINGAPORE – The second tranche of vouchers meant to help lower to lower-middle income households cope with the public transport fare increase will be disbursed from Jan 16 to Oct 31.
The Transport Ministry and the People’s Association said in a joint press statement on Thursday that households that meet the eligibility criteria but did not receive a voucher in the first stage can apply online or in person at their local community centres.
Successful applicants will be notified via post.
To help households cope with the 2.9 per cent fare increase that kicked in on December 2022, a total of 600,000 vouchers worth $30 has been made available to resident households with monthly household income per person of not more than $1,600.
The first stage of voucher disbursement to households that received a voucher during the 2021 exercise and continue to meet the income eligibility criteria was completed in December 2022. The 240,000 households got notification letters on their vouchers via post.
Households who have received a notification letter can follow the instructions to redeem their voucher at any TransitLink Kiosks, Top-Up Kiosks, Assisted Service Kiosks, TransitLink Ticket Offices or Concession Card Replacement Offices.
All vouchers must be redeemed by March 31, 2024. Residents may approach their local community clubs if they have any queries.
