Second, public transport. Mr
Yeo Guat Kwang yesterday asked if the transport
operators could give vouchers to needy families
to help them buy their monthly tickets. This
is a practical idea. LTA has been discussing
this with the public transport operators.
SBS Transit and SMRT are working with the
NTUC to set up a fund to help the families
of needy union members top up their EZ-Link
cards or purchase season passes. The CDCs
have got together to set up a similar fund,
also with the transport operators, so that
non-union members will also be covered. This
will help to keep public transport costs affordable
for Singaporeans. I believe that the NTUC,
the CDCs and the transport companies will
announce the details soon. |
