Did you know that over 3.5 million trips are made on public buses across Singapore on more than 350 bus services daily?

This is made possible by the close partnership between LTA and public transport operators through the Bus Contracting Model (BCM). Under this model, LTA owns all bus assets (buses, infrastructure and systems) while public transport operators are contracted to operate, manage and maintain bus assets through a tendering process.

Fares are calculated based on distance travelled and LTA works closely with the Public Transport Council to provide quality yet affordable public bus services.

Did you know that commuters paid flat fares in the mid 70s, regardless of the distance of their journeys? This meant that whether commuters travelled two or twenty bus stops, they paid the same fare!
