BUS and train fares will go down 2.5 per cent overall from July 3, but how much commuters save will depend on how they travel.
The Public Transport Council (PTC) said yesterday that, from that date, public transport fares will be pegged fully to distance travelled - whether the commuter covers the distance in one trip or makes transfers.
Those who make transfers between buses or between buses and trains will pay less: The 63 per cent of commuters who break up their journey into two or more legs will save an average of 48 cents a week or $25 a year.
Another group, the 34 per cent of public transport users who opt for longer, single-leg journeys, will pay an average of 31 cents more a week, or $16 a year.
The remaining 3 per cent will spend neither more nor less than now.
For bus and train operators SBS Transit and SMRT, the final move to distance- based fares will shrink their joint takings by about $32 million this year.

Last fare hike , they said : " Oil prices up , so fare also must go up . "

It is temporary....remember there is always a demand for taxi service. After all get sick with Circle line some will come back. Those pple who in the end choose circle line let them be.
Just like Casino. Now the interest waning off. Except weekend, not as pack as last time. When Marina Bay open, all will swarm there for a while. After a while the crowd spread out again.
Be more positive lar. If not u drive Taxi very stress one.
