Public transport operators have applied to increase bus and train fares due to rising costs.

A ComfortDelgro spokesperson said SBS Transit has submitted an application to the Public Transport Council seeking bus and rail fare adjustments.

Rising fuel and energy costs as well as expenses incurred in the firm's fleet renewal exercise were the reasons cited, according to a Reuters report.

SMRT has also requested an adjustment to fares on its trains and buses.

This is in accordance to the maximum fare adjustment formula set by the government-appointed Fare Review Mechanism Committee in 2005.

Results of the applications are expected to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
