SINGAPORE – Architect Tan Tze Wei, 37, will be paying $15 more a month for her daughter’s school-bus ride from January – 10 per cent more than the current fare.
The Singapore School & Private Hire Bus Owners’ Association said it does not track the rates negotiated by its members with schools, noting that there is a competitive tender system. However, it expects the newer contracts to be priced higher to account for growing operating costs.
Besides coping with higher fuel and manpower expenses, Mr Peh said bus operators are likely to have to bear the 1 percentage point increase in the goods and services tax from January 2023, since the industry practice is to absorb the tax in school bus fares. Longlim, which has more than 60 buses and contracts with seven schools, requested to raise fares by “around 7 per cent” for existing contracts.
