    Public transport is the centerpiece of Singapore's land transport system and helps manage congestion and maintain a high quality urban environment. It is operated by two main companies, SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation, and kept affordable through government infrastructure funding while operators cover operational costs. Regulation by the Land Transport Authority and Public Transport Council protects commuters' interests while ensuring the long-term viability of the transport system, such as by approving fare revisions that allow operators to cope with rising costs.
