Need to wake up earlier and complete the journey by 7:45am... Just to save 50cent$! It's a struggle...
**SMRT will give commuters a discount of 50 cents if they avoid travelling during the morning peak hours.
This is an increase from the 30 cent discount announced last October. Prior to that, the discount stood at just 10 cents.
When the increase was put in place on Oct 10, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and SMRT observed that about 3-4 per cent of commuters shifted their travelling schedules out of the morning peak hour period.
Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew today revealed the news when he visited the Clementi MRT station.
The latest increase in discount, under SMRT's Early Travel Discount Scheme, will apply to commuters who end their journey by 7.45am from Mondays to Fridays at stations located in the city area.
The scheme, which is currently applicable only to commuters who begin their journey from North-South-East-West Line and Bukit Panjang LRT stations, will be extended to commuters who enter via the Circle Line stations as well.
In addition, the number of exit stations within the city area participating in the discount scheme will be increased to 14 stations, to include stations along the Circle line.
