公交车资明调涨七巴仙
早在今年10月8日,公共交通理事会(PTC)宣布,地铁和公共巴士车资将在今年12月28日起,整体调涨7巴仙,这是自1998年来最高涨幅。
其中成人车资卡每趟行程约调涨9分;以现金付费的成人巴士车资及地铁单程车资,则调涨0.20元。
年长者、学生、获津贴低收入员工和残障者优惠车资,涨幅则被限定在每趟行程4分。优惠车资受惠范围也扩大至理工学院和其他专业文凭学生,估计受惠学生超过八万人。此前,他们必须支付成人车资。
此前,该理事会称今年调涨上限为七巴仙,并解释影响新一轮车资调涨顶限的最大因素,是能源价格出现双位数增长。2017年,能源价格上涨26.2巴仙,去年则达到32.3巴仙。
本地两家地铁经营者SMRT和新捷运,是在上月23日向公交理事会提交车资调整申请。新捷运对媒体称,由于维修与保养成本提高,地铁营运成本一直增加。“虽然乘客量攀升,但新捷运地铁业务仍持续亏损。”
