​The Transport Department (TD) today (May 3) reminded members of the public that the collection period of the subsidy for January under the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme (the Subsidy Scheme) will end on May 15.
"Commuters could collect the subsidy for January since February 16. As the subsidy for each month is valid for collection within the next three months, the collection period of the subsidy for January will end on May 15. As at April 30, there are about 350 000 commuters who have not collected their subsidy for January," the TD spokesman said.
The spokesman added that starting from May, the total amount of the subsidy and the number of beneficiaries in the previous month will be announced on the website of the Subsidy Scheme (www.ptfss.gov.hk) on the 15th of each month.
Commuters may check their record of public transport expenses and subsidy amount through the website of the Subsidy Scheme, the Octopus App and the hotline of the Subsidy Scheme (2969 5500).
