Temporary special measures of Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme will expire on December 31
******************************************************************************************
To allow more commuters to benefit from the Scheme during the epidemic, the Government had earlier implemented the special measures to temporarily relax the monthly public transport expenses threshold from $400 to $200 and increase the monthly subsidy cap from $400 to $500 under the Scheme. The above temporary special measures will expire on December 31 this year. From January 1, 2022, the Government will provide a subsidy to commuters amounting to one-third of the actual monthly public transport expenses in excess of $400, subject to a maximum of $400 per month for each Octopus Card.
For details of the Scheme, please visit the website (www.ptfss.gov.hk). Commuters can also check their record of public transport expenses and subsidy amount through the Subsidy Enquiry website (subsidy-enquiry.ptfss.hk), the Octopus App or the Scheme hotline 2969 5500.
