The Singapore government recently introduced a new $60 Transport Voucher for 2025 aimed at helping lower-income households deal with increasing transportation expenses. This program is part of Singapore’s wider plan to reduce cost-of-living challenges for seniors and students and families who rely on public buses and MRT trains for their everyday travel. However there is an important deadline to remember since applications must be submitted by 28 December 2025 so you should apply soon to receive your support.
What Is the $60 Public Transport Voucher 2025?
The $60 Public Transport Voucher helps lower-income families deal with the fare increases that were announced earlier this year. Each qualifying household gets a $60 credit to add money to their travel cards for bus and MRT trips. More than 600000 vouchers will be given out through this program. This provides many Singaporeans with helpful relief for their everyday travel expenses. People who are eligible will get a notification letter in the mail or they can submit an application at their local Community Centre.

Why This Voucher Matters Right Now
Let’s face it — getting around costs more than most people realize. Whether you’re commuting to work or dropping kids at school or seeing relatives every trip takes a bigger bite out of your wallet these days. This $60 voucher won’t solve everything but it helps people who are struggling with rising costs. It also makes sure every Singaporean can get to important places like hospitals and schools and workplaces without worrying about the fare. The government has made clear that everyone should be included in this program. That means seniors and people with disabilities will get this support too.
How to Apply Before 28 December 2025
If you have not received a letter by mail you can still apply manually at your nearest Community Centre. Staff and grassroots volunteers are available to help with applications if you need assistance. Once approved the voucher can be redeemed at top-up machines located across MRT stations and bus interchanges to ensure it is simple and quick to use.
Keeping Singapore Moving — Together
The new Transport Voucher 2025 does more than help with travel expenses. It shows Singapore’s continued commitment to supporting its residents. The program makes sure that everyone can get around the city and stay connected to their community no matter how much they earn. The Land Transport Authority and Transport Ministry are partnering with local community groups to reach all eligible families. They want to make certain that everyone who qualifies receives this assistance. If you think you could benefit from this program or know someone who might qualify share this information and submit an application. This support can make a real difference.
