To help lower-income households cope with the fare increase, the Government will increase the quantum of Public Transport Vouchers (PTVs) from $60 to $80 per eligible household.

The income eligibility ceiling for PTVs will also be raised from $1,800 per capita to $2,100. Around 4 in 10 households will qualify for a voucher, an increase of about 60,000 households compared to last year.

The 2026 PTV Exercise will begin in end-December 2026. Households that require additional assistance can approach their local Community Centres/Clubs for support.
