SBS Transit to raise fares on 41 premium bus services from 3rd August

SBS Transit will raise fares on 41 premium bus routes, such as Nite Owl, Parks, Chinatown Direct and Premium services from 3^rd August. 

The transport operator added that the Public Transport Council had approved the fare adjustment. The fares will be increased by five to 70 cents.

Adult fares for the six Nite Owl services will increase by between 10 and 20 cents, while senior citizen concession fares will go up by five and 10 cents. Student concession fares will increase by five cents.

For Parks Service 408 and the three Chinatown Direct services, adult fares will go up by 10 cents, while senior citizen and student concession fares will increase by five cents.

However, children under seven years of age who are now paying a fare on those 10 services will get to travel free. Those taller than 0.9-metre will need a valid child concession card to enjoy this benefit.

In addition, SBS Transit will raise adult fares for its 31 premium bus services by 20 to 70 cents. Service 538 from Pasir Ris, for instance, will cost $4.50 - up from $3.80.
