i took same bus to work today but different driver.
I boarded the bus and asked the driver how much isit to go to pasir ris drive 1 with student card. He told me 75cents, and i double check with him are you sure? he said , yea.
so how the problem is , how much is the actual fare? 75cents or $1.80. both drivers telling me different amount.:think:
I will re-quote what I've found out for you earlier:
For school concession card: http://www.transitlink.com.sg/ezlink_school.html
Main points under Usage:
- The concession card must be carried as proof of eligibility when traveling on the MRT/LRT/bus in order to enjoy travel concession. School uniforms do not prove students' eligibility for travel concession.
- If you are a concession card holder and intend to pay cash, please let the bus driver know. Then tap your concession card at the reader for verification of the cards validity before you drop your cash into the farebox.
That is why you were told different amounts. If you stated upfront that you are student, you want to pay cash, you showed your student pass, AND tapped it on the reader for verification (this step most people skip and the drivers close one eye), THEN your fare would be $0.75. Otherwise it's probably $1.80 for the adult fare.
And note that being in school uniform doesn't automatically qualifies you for concession fare.
