SBS Transit launches points system to reward loyal commuters

SBS Transit is launching an island-wide "Ride & Redeem" programme to reward loyal commuters who travel on SBS buses, North East Line (NEL) trains and Sengkang or Punggol LRT.

This is the first rewards programme of its kind for public transport services.

From 1 April to 31 March 2008, commuters will be rewarded with Transit Dollars (TD) for every trip taken with SBS Transit using their ez-link cards.

Commuters can then use the Transit Dollars accumulated to redeem various goodies like free brownies, manicure services or free dishes at selected dining outlets.

Commuters can also earn Bonus Dollars (BDs) if there is a usage value increase of at least $1 as compared to the previous week.

These Bonus Dollars can be used to redeem prizes such as resort stays.

To participate in this programme, commuters will need to register their ez-link cards online at www.sbstransit.com.sg.

Registration is free.

It's strange. I was able to go through this website successfully yet you can't. Maybe we can try it tomorrow then.

I’d rather they reduce fares than come up with these silly promotions.

Y_Shun SG

They came up with these promotions is for the communters to spend more on their transport so that they can earn more $$.

Not saving $$ for you.

SBS9806J SG

I agree. The only useful thing in the promotion for me to redeem is only the movie vouchers Laughing

droco SG

At least better than nothing. You can be assured that you will get something in return in the long run from the redemption for travelling with them. I am staying in a SMRT controlled territory without any SBS Transit buses. Sad to say that I will not be benefited at all to go to/from school or anywhere else from/to my home. This can be said that I am being forced to take SMRT buses and train. It is just the fact and not to say that I am aiming for the free gift. The same case applies for the use of the Season Pass.

i cant register can any1 do it?
