Singapore rail fares amongst world's cheapest

It's at the bottom four.

According to a new blog post by Public Transport Council (PTC) chairman Richard Magnus, Singapore's rail fares are among the lowest in 35 major cities across Asia, Australia, North America and Europe.

Based on the study commissioned by PTC, Singapore's lowest rail fare at $0.77 is marginally higher than the minimum fares of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Taipei.

Results show that within Asia, the rail fares in Singapore are amongst the lowest, while rail fares in cities like Tokyo and Seoul lie on the higher end of the spectrum in Asia.

When compared to cities in Australia, Europe and North America, rail fares in Singapore are considerably lower.
