105090 SG anyone experienced before paying 20 cents for a bus trip? i was still a student paying 45 cents fares. i took Express 511 to outram, transferred to 33, and my fare for sv 33 was 20 cents! looks like if a NAC bus is taken, the fare can be 15 cents! unbelievable!
SBS3572Y SG means he paid express fare and transfer to a trunk service which he got a rebate of 25 cents. priginal child fare is 45 cents, so after rebate is 20 cents
tranquilice SG I had paid $0.00 on bus rides before. That's when SBST $1.90 fare cap came into place.
tranquilice SG I think SMRT Buses should implement a fare cap like SBST, so that those living in SMRT territories can benefit too.
105090 SG the bus fare cap is for basic SBS bus transfers for UNLIMITED transfers within 30 mins of alighting from a bus? like that means if go joy ride, $1.90 is all you need
samtlk SG it'll start as a NEW TRIP again on your fourth transfer...u have to claim for the rest from the transitlink office * excludes Nite Owl services and Express services
samtlk SG "SBS Transit will cap the maximum fare for a journey at $1.90, regardless of the number of bus transfers a commuter makes" however after 3 transfers or after 2 hours the system will start to deduct from your card again....u're allowed to claim the extra amount deducted there are cases where your journey exceeds the 2 hours for example: from jurong west ext to changi airport 99 to clementi ($1.23) transfer to 7 alight in orchard ($0.67) & transfer to 36 but if there's a traffic jam somewhere along the way or your journey from jurong to orchard exceeds 2 hours it will show NEW TRIP when u board 36 even though its a transfer that's when u can claim the amount deducted ($1.43 instead of $0.00 ) u can take a joyride & transfer 10 times if u want to then see the total amount deducted from your card minus away $1.90 & claim the balance (i did that before )

In the example above, if I board service 36 before the time exceeded 2 hours, mean there's nothing to claim, right? 2. In the highlighted sentence, does that mean if I took SBST basic services for joyrides and for example the total fare deducted is $11.90, I can claim back $10? But the record of the cards is only limited to last 3 days or first 20 (?) transactions, right? So those bus rides with no more records, I can't claim back? 3. Can go to the ezlink website and file for an online claim, right? Pardon me for asking so many questions.
samtlk SG 1. it will show TRANSFER & $0.00 is deducted when u alight 2. u must board the next bus within 45mins of alighting & no same-service transfers ( http://www.transitlink.com.sg/transfer.html )....all claims must be made within 3 days...i think those transactions without records u can't claim, just like what happened in this post http://buses.sgforums.com/?action=post_display&post_id=3219979...so in a way u won't get a chance to reach $10...SBST is not stupid u know :p anyway even if they pay u its not much of a loss to them anyway...imagine thousands of people out there who are overcharged & don't claim back or don't even know they are overcharged....what's $10 compared to that? 3. http://www.transitlink.com.sg/claimNcomplaint1.html
SBS3688Y SG When I was in sec school (during early 90s), I bought the NAC concession stamp (there was no A/C stamp at that time). Therefore, i had to show my NAC concession pass to the driver and pay 10 cents (top-up fare) for any trip onboard AC buses.
105090 SG i remember i took sv315 and me, my brother and grandma will pay just 30 cents cash each on the NAC bus to serangoon gardens..
dragg SG i have taken bus rides without paying, who can do better? only those who are paid to take bus ride can beat me. the bus driver!!!
