SINGAPORE : Bus commuters taking the City Shuttle Service 608
will have to pay more for their fares from August.
The SMRT said it had received approval from the Public Transport
Council for the fare adjustment of Service 608, which runs between
the Bedok and Bukit Timah bus interchanges.
Cash fares for adults and senior citizens will be increased by 10
cents, while adults using the ez-link card will pay 1 cent
more.
The SMRT has decided to defer the approved 1-cent increase for
senior citizens using the ez-link card for one year.
It is also extending its senior citizen concession hours from 9am
to 4.30pm and from 7pm till the end of operation hours on weekdays
and for the whole day on Saturdays.
Service 608 does not operate on Sundays and public holidays.
There will also be no change in cash and concession fares for
commuters using Child or Student ez-link cards. - CNA/de
