The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore has announced that transport operators of regular school bus services will be allowed to offset higher operating costs through a 'time-bound' fuel surcharge, starting from July, if fuel prices remain elevated. MOE will set a maximum fuel surcharge that operators may charge, and they may increase school bus fares up to this surcharge. The maximum fuel surcharge and revised school bus fares will be communicated to parents in June, allowing them to plan their transport arrangements accordingly. MOE will continue to review fuel prices and adjust or remove the maximum fuel surcharge allowed, in line with fuel price movements.

Students on the MOE Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) will not pay higher fares, as they will receive additional school bus subsidies that will cover any increase in their monthly school bus fares. Schools are advised to 'reasonably consider' bus fare hikes for off-site activities amid fuel cost pressures. Enabling Transport subsidy, administered by SG Enable, may also be available for those who require additional support or do not qualify for MOE FAS
