Chee Hong Tat on why public transport service standards should be separate from fare reviews

In parliament on Tuesday (Oct 15), Singapore Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat explained why public transport service standards should be separated from fare reviews. Apart from fare reviews, other measures are in place to ensure service levels. He also added that fare reviews were necessary for the public transport system to remain financially sustainable. "If our fares are not adjusted to reflect rising operating costs, the persistent shortfall would have a chronic impact on service quality and reliability over time," he said. https://cna.asia/403S2eQ Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Subscribe to our news service for must-read stories: Telegram - https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp - https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/channelnewsasia TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
