STOMPer Gary is puzzled by SMRT’s fare charges after he discovered that it cost the same to travel from Bedok MRT to Pasir Ris as it was to travel from Bedok to City Hall stations.
In his email to STOMP today (Oct 14), the STOMPer wrote:
“I took this picture at Bedok MRT station yesterday (Oct 13) and was puzzled on how SMRT charges commuters on the fare.
“As you notice, the fare from Bedok to Pasir Ris (four Stations) using EZlink is $1.22.
“The fare from Bedok to City Hall (seven Stations) using EZ link is also $1.22.
“I wonder how do they calculate the fare hike. Is it based on distance travel or other reason?
“If it is based on distance travel, I believe Bedok to Pasir Ris is shorter than Bedok to City Hall.”
