Commenting on the 5 per cent transport fare hike, SMU Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Terence Fan said that the fare increase is "measured and considerate", noting that the actual increase is well below the ceiling. Asst Prof Fan emphasised that the price of monthly travel passes will be reduced by six dollars, which will actually translate into a small reduction in commuters’ monthly expenses. He also shared that as the public transport network grows, service disruptions may appear more frequent.
