WITH 2009 shaping up to be a 'difficult year', the Government will try to moderate public transport costs next year, said Transport Minister Raymond Lim yesterday.
The Public Transport Council (PTC) will continue to take economic conditions into account in its annual assessment of bus and train fares, due in the second half of next year, he added.
But he tempered expectations that falling oil prices will translate into a similar drop in fares, saying that there is no direct correlation between the two.
