Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 5: Poh Li San on maintaining the public transport system
What are the annual operation and maintenance expenses for Singapore’s public train and bus services and what is the expected fare revenue to be collected to cope with rising costs? With public transport ridership largely recovering with a return to normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic, what is the projected annual Government subsidy that is still required for the system as a whole? MP Poh Li San asked these questions in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 2). She said to achieve a sustainable green economy, more people need to use the public transport system which means it has to remain accessible, affordable, reliable and comfortable.
