88 does have AMDEP buses.Originally posted by SBS 233 X:There is something weird here..SBS3816U is AM 88??? 88 is under BRAM as what I thought. BR and AM are interchangable. Service 88 appear in the dual-depot link.

yes. but you will not be entitled to a free NR ride transfer.Originally posted by sinicker:if my ezlink card has low value (let's say, $0.10), can i take NR service home? -
NO...I've seen people getting the LOW VALUE - PAY CASH message even though they have $1.40 left. Even during the farecard days, the minimum value in the card had to be $1.00.Originally posted by sinicker:if my ezlink card has low value (let's say, $0.10), can i take NR service home? -
oh..? i got a farecard used to have 10c or 15c left, i used it to take Express, but can still accept..Originally posted by samtlk:NO...I've seen people getting the LOW VALUE - PAY CASH message even though they have $1.40 left.

the EZ-link card not sure on NR.. but i ever used the ez-link wih $0.01 remaining on basic services still can -
if it's farecard days, can understand cos the sum of the remaining value and the travel deposit ($2 for adult and $1 for child/student then) exceeds the fare payable.Originally posted by samtlk:NO...I've seen people getting the LOW VALUE - PAY CASH message even though they have $1.40 left. Even during the farecard days, the minimum value in the card had to be $1.00.
but nowadays travel deposit is $3, it shouldn't happen. i also travelled express with low remaining values before. -
you can't compare Express with NR. U can do a transfer on Express even if your card value is exactly $0.00. NR is special....don't even have transfer rebate.

zhun bo? $0.00 can?Originally posted by samtlk:you can't compare Express with NR. U can do a transfer on Express even if your card value is exactly $0.00. NR is special....don't even have transfer rebate.
NR's second trip is $3.00 ($3.00), that means the trip is $3, but the transfer rebate is $3. -
That is the exception...NR-NR transfer...cos 1 free transfer. NiteOwl no exceptions at all.Originally posted by ^tamago^:NR's second trip is $3.00 ($3.00), that means the trip is $3, but the transfer rebate is $3. -
... niteowl is niteowl. no transfer rebates. not useful since we can't take it towards town to change to another NR home...Originally posted by samtlk:That is the exception...NR-NR transfer...cos 1 free transfer. NiteOwl no exceptions at all. -
In the farecard days, you still could use it until $-2.00 under transfer. I remember, I made my farecard $-2.45 after 98, then 502 then transfering to 179. Then I switched to my Ez-link card...Originally posted by ^tamago^:if it's farecard days, can understand cos the sum of the remaining value and the travel deposit ($2 for adult and $1 for child/student then) exceeds the fare payable.

Regarding the questions about low values on EZ-Link cards and still being able to ride, it is possible to make a transfer from bus to bus or MRT to bus with zero or negative value on your EZ-Link card, as ong as it is a sucessful transfer. I tried it before, and I also once asked some SMRT staff who said that this is possible.
Here's a somewhat related question:
Under what circumstances will your ride cost you $0.00 (no, this is not a mistype)? I actualy have seen this happen before with my adult EZ-Link card before, the most recent being when I was taking either route 2 or 24 (can't remember).
Here are the details of that trip as far as I can remember:
Route 859 - Sembawang, between blocks 357 and 359 -> Yishun, block 923
Route 39 - Yishun Interchange -> Pasir Ris, block 738
Route 89 - Pasir Ris, Block 738 -> before Singapore Aviation A.C. (near Changi Vilage)
Route 2 - Changi Village -> somewhere along Upper Changi Road East (can't remember exactly where) (I took this bus some time after my trip on route 89 as I had lunch at Changi Village; the reader still showed that I made a transfer if I remember correctly)
Route 24 - Upper Changi Road East -> Changi Airport Terminal 2
The portion hilighted in red was the portion I recall seeing a fare deduction of $0.00 (not sure exactly which route). -
good. i will try it the negative bus rides soon.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Regarding the questions about low values on EZ-Link cards and still being able to ride, it is possible to make a transfer from bus to bus or MRT to bus with zero or negative value on your EZ-Link card, as ong as it is a sucessful transfer.

$0.00 happens when you have reached the $1.90 fare cap for SBST-only bus journeys.
859: $0.85
39: $1.10 ($0.25)
89: $0.80 ($0.25)
2: $0.00 ($0.00) <-- reader shows ($0.25)
24: $0.00 ($0.00) -
That is because of you $1.90 Fare cap.. they will show $0.00 ($0.25)Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Regarding the questions about low values on EZ-Link cards and still being able to ride, it is possible to make a transfer from bus to bus or MRT to bus with zero or negative value on your EZ-Link card, as ong as it is a sucessful transfer.
