People who cheat on bus fares
-
I noticed some people like doing this, especially on feeder buses. Usually old aunties.
They would board the bus and tap their cards on the reader, and then move to the exit and then immediately tap their cards again there, before getting a seat.
Do you do such things? Do you feel that people who do such are very cheapskate and low-classed? -

Usually Feeder Service a lot of people did that because either they lazy to tap when exiting or maybe some other reasons like carrying heavy things , etc..Originally posted by rookies:They would board the bus and tap their cards on the reader, and then move to the exit and then immediately tap their cards again there, before getting a seat. -
But not neccesarily right?Originally posted by sbst275:But if you were to make a transfer, you may end up losing the transfer rebate later on -
The rebate if I'm not wrong is only valid within 30 mins aft you tap at the exit readerOriginally posted by SBS9806J:But not neccesarily right? -
Actually it does not make any difference on whether u tap now or later for feeders.Only trunk services matters
. The only person to lose out is yourself if u were to do a transfer after that. -

1. Feeder service, so flat-fare irregardless of distance travelled.
2. Senior senior, also flat-fare for off-peak period.
3. Students on concession passes, free use of passes. -

Then lets say you alight from the bus, but the bus that you want to transfer to is caught in a traffic jam, then how?Originally posted by sbst275:The rebate if I'm not wrong is only valid within 30 mins aft you tap at the exit reader -

Also notice that some passengers paid their fare twice as they tap their card on the enterance reader when they alight and the reader shows 'ENTRY'. Some BC saw it also keep quiet.

Fare Stage where they tap --> Bus Int. -
I've oso seen people tapping their ez link cards at the exit sensors way before they actually alight so that they would incur lower fares! And they come from all ages and all sizes! Screw them all! Hope that their dishonesty will catch up with them one day!

For feeder not so bad. U only pay $0.65x2 = $1.30 for a trip.
If taking trunk services (especically a few stops from int) instead of paying $0.65, u will end up paying $1.58x2 = $3.16 just for that few stops
Beware -
They spoil your card. I got mine spoilt this way.Originally posted by Pitot:concession only tap when u board. exit dun even need to tap.. waste time.. -
