Tranzort08 SG

those clowns anyhow delete my thread liao ah..........................good what teach people how to cheat on taxi fare !

u yourself is already doing the wrong things and u want to teach people to sin. is that morally right?

and u will be fined heavily if u are found cheating on bus fares. moreover, u will pay the full distance fare if u dont tap on exit.

And i believe the guys who board the buses and checks on the ez-link card for both companies will be monitoring this thread with great interest ^^

Pay the correct fare!

At the past can, but now cannot.....

However, I still spot some people tap out the ez-link card early but SL never observed about that.....

If feeder or intratown svc, the SL/BC dun bother.

BTW if they tap out early, the journey more than 1hr wait for another bus for transfer also transfer benefits gone.

actually if feeder or intratown, the SL/BC also shldnt dont bother. There's a difference if u are transferring to a feeder or intratown. If u straight away tap out or tap out before 3.2km cap, still ur fare paid is lesser than what u shld if u travel more than 3.2km.

agreed. once saw a feeder with 0.0km reading throughout. zero revenue except for new rides, equivalent to a loss in revenue of up to 40 cents!

My advice: PAY THE CORRECT FARE. Later ticket inspector (?) come do random check then you kena.

Fares start from 0.0km - infinity.

Still earn some money.

once you transfer from other mode, nope

new trip yes

vicamour SG

so anyone here thought of a way to cheat on bus fare yet ???

maybe tap the card when boarding (or try to skip even that) then when alighting don't tap the card ?

This is not the right way even you want to do something to oppose PAP. In the end, you just end up paying more to them.

what i've been doing to save on fares is to board buses only at the first stop o/s int which isn't that far & doesn't take a lot of effort IMO cause it just happens that I can incur a lower distance and pay one tier lesser (saving ard 5 - 10cts per trip).

find it not worthwhile to pay for the 0.7km for Sv133 from AMK int to Blk 324 as the marginal utility i get doesnt justify the extra cost incurred. same for Sv31 from TPY int to first stop. not forgetting to mention avoiding NEL/CCL if there are comparable alternatives / sufficient time for me to do so.

i guess DBTF has really changed the way i travel, from someone that prefers all-bus trips (within logicality) to finding shorter-distance trips now. it is hard not to be 'efficient commuters' under this framework though i believe older aunties / uncles and less-informed commuters are sticking to their old travel habits and paying more unknowingly..
