a. The PTC shall review the effectiveness of the current fare adjustment formula and mechanism, and propose improvements in consideration of the changes to the public transport industry.
b. The review shall focus on maintaining a good balance in keeping public transport fares affordable while ensuring the financial viability of the public transport system.
c. The PTC shall, in its review, ensure that the views of key stakeholders are adequately sought and represented.
3. PTC will consult widely on the review. It will engage commuters, public transport operators and transport experts.
4. The current fare adjustment formula and mechanism will remain valid for the 2017 Fare Review Exercise.
