Adult Fares
 
 
Bus and Train Fare Adjustments from 1 October 2008

Adult Fares on buses
With the exception of flat-fare and Townlink services, adult fares are calculated based on the number of fare stages travelled. Each fare stage is about 0.8 km. These fare stages coincide with specific bus stops of each route. Half-fare stages occur at bus stops between the fare stages.

^Transfer Rebates

 $0.40 -


^Terms and Conditions for Transfer Rebates
  1. To enjoy a transfer rebate, a commuter must make a transfer within 45 minutes after tapping out of the bus or LRT/MRT. If the commuter failed to tap out when alighting from the bus, the 45 minutes is counted from the time of boarding of the last bus.
  2. Transfer Rebates apply to a maximum of three valid transfers on a journey which must be completed within two hours.
  3. For transfer between LRT and MRT, a transfer rebate is automatically given in one total entry and exit fare.
  4. No transfer rebate is given when a transfer is made between buses of the same service number.
  5. Transfer rebates do not apply to Chinatown Direct, Nite Owl and Stadium Direct services.
  6. The same ez-link card must be used throughout the journey to enjoy the transfer rebate.
  7. With the increase in transfer rebate, the maximum fare cap for a single bus journey will cease.

Feeder & Townlink Services
Feeder services are flat-fare services. The fares are as follows:

Feeder EZ-Link Cash
Flat fare Aircon Non-aircon Aircon Non-aircon
$0.71 $0.66 $1.00 $0.90

TownLink services involve the merging of feeder services to provide direct links between neighbourhoods within the same town as well as to connect passengers to trunk services at bus interchanges and to the MRT. This will enhance travel between towns and reduce bus transfers between neighbourhoods.
