Singapore ranks amongst cities with cheapest public transport fares

A monthly pass costs just around 1.9% of the average net wage in the country.

Singapore has amongst the cheapest public transport fares in the world, a report found.

Picodi analysts noted that a monthly pass in the city costs S$128, which accounts for only 1.9% of the average net wage in Singapore.

This result is similar to ratios in New York (2.1%) and Reykjavik (1.8%).

In contrary, the most expensive single tickets can be found in London ($5.19), Zurich ($4.75) and Oslo ($3.91); whilst the highest prices for monthly passes are paid by citizens of London ($271), Melbourne ($190) and Dublin ($166).

Moreover, of the 45 cities, three cities–Luxembourg, Estonia's capital, Tallinn and Malta's capital, Valletta– offer an entirely free public transport.

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.
