Business Strategy I Building on Stability


Fare revenue forms bulk of business, providing stable, cashgenerating base with expected organic growth of 1-2% annually. Rail network continues to expand with Boon Lay Extension (2009), Circle Line (2010) and Downtown Extension (2012) for Singapores new Business and Financial District and integrated resorts. Ridership is expected to grow and benefit from sustained economic growth in Singapore. Government has put in place a transparent and objective fare adjustment formula.

Fare Revenue
Fare revenue is a function of ridership and fares. Ridership is a function of system route length, macro socio-economic factors, i.e. growth in population, social and tourist activity, employment, residential, commercial and industrial development. Fares are regulated by PTC and reviewed annually based on max. fare adjustment formula: 0.5 CPI + 0.5 WI 0.3% where 0.3 is the productivity index valid for 3 years. Relative weightage of CPI and WI is to be reviewed every 3 years.
