  Personally I've actually underpaid for quite a lot of trips after my BCP expired. Usually I'll show the pass and pay in coins although this is not exactly foolproof since when the inspector checks and finds out that you're using a 55cent ticket, he/she will scan your ezLink card and can find out whether your card concession has expired. I personally witnessed some other person getting caught trying to underpay with coins. On another recent occasion, I took 190 from CCK Polyclinic to opp Raffles Town Club and sat near the exit doors. At the last bus-stop before entering the expressway, I tapped at the exit card reader just before the exit doors closed and after making sure that no bus inspector boarded the bus. That's a few cents but all the few cents add to the ~$120 I spend on transport a month!

  I wonder if my transport fares will exceed $200 by then... Always take at least 10 trips of buses a day...
