Any increase in public transport fares next year will be lower than the original roll-over figure of 3.4 per cent.

Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said "the maximum that is allowed for this particular fare increase will be 2.8 per cent".

The Public Transport Council (PTC) began its annual fare review exercise last month.

The last review in Jan this year announced a fare increase of 6.6 per cent.

The PTC also told Channel NewsAsia it will consider this fare adjustment of 2.8 per cent for the current review exercise. 

Public Transport Operators SBS Transit and SMRT have until Friday (Dec 19) to submit their applications to the PTC for a fare increase, subject to approval by the Council.
