20 cents fare on AC bus
-
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! -
transfer rebate?
-
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

I had paid $0.00 on bus rides before. That's when SBST $1.90 fare cap came into place.

Wow..So goodOriginally posted by tranquilice:I had paid $0.00 on bus rides before. That's when SBST $1.90 fare cap came into place. -
I think SMRT Buses should implement a fare cap like SBST, so that those living in SMRT territories can benefit too.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Wow..So good -
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 needOriginally posted by tranquilice:I had paid $0.00 on bus rides before. That's when SBST $1.90 fare cap came into place. -
it'll start as a NEW TRIP again on your fourth transfer...u have to claim for the rest from the transitlink officeOriginally posted by 105090: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
* excludes Nite Owl services and Express services -

"SBS Transit will cap the maximum fare for a journey at $1.90, regardless of the number of bus transfers a commuter makes"Originally posted by tranquilice:What's there to claim?
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

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.

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?

and adult fare ranges from 40c to 80c and the only aircon service is in the northOriginally posted by gasband:when i was in sec sch, feeder bus was just 15 cents.... -
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.

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..
