If you’ve heard about the S$60 Public Transport Voucher (PTV) but don’t know whether you qualify or how to use it, this guide clears everything up. No policy fluff. Just what matters.
The voucher is part of the 2024 PTV Exercise, but it runs well into 2025, so you still have time.
What Exactly Is the Public Transport Voucher?
The Public Transport Voucher (PTV) is a government support scheme to help lower-income households cope with fare adjustments.
It’s S$60 per household, not per person.
You can use it to:
- Top up EZ-Link, NETS FlashPay, or Concession cards
- Pay for bus and MRT rides
- Offset daily commuting costs
No cash withdrawals. No transfers.
