Distance Fare Scheme for Singapore Public Transport

Today I saw a news reported in Mypaper where it mentioned if we transfer (From MRT <> MRT / MRT <> Bus) within 45 Minutes, then its consider as 1 journey thus the fare will accumulated.

Total travel time must be made within 2 hours of the first boarding.

With the Adult stored value card/concession card, you can enjoy up to 5 transfers a journey when all conditions for transfer are met.
To qualify for a valid transfer, please ensure that your transfer is made within the allowed time :
  • From MRT/LRT to bus, bus to bus, or bus to MRT/LRT, you must transfer to the next service within 45 minutes of exit from MRT/LRT gate or from tapping the card on the bus exit card-reader.
  • For all concessionary travel on buses or trains, the time allowed for the next transfer will also be 45 minutes of exit from MRT/LRT gate or from tapping the card on the bus exit card-reader.
  • The transfers on a journey must be made within 2 hours of the first boarding on the same journey.

The same adult stored value / concession card must be used on two successive portions of your journey.
The following do not qualify as valid transfers:
  • MRT to MRT transfer does not qualify as a valid transfer but does not affect eligibility for subsequent transfer to bus (valid transfer will be awarded to or from MRT only once per journey)
  • Transfer between MRT and LRT (if passenger exits from the paid areas of both systems)
  • Transfer from a bus to another of the same service number or to/from a subsidiary service that does not qualify for a transfer.
  • Transfer to/from Sentosa Bus, Night Services, C & CT services
  • If Bus Concession Pass (BCP), Train Concession Pass (TCP) or Hybrid Concession Pass (HCP) is used
  • After fifth transfer
