Enye Hypersonic July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Back to Singapore for 2 days. Took my children to take the MRT. To my surprised and horror, I can't buy stored value concession tickets for them because only Singapore students can buy or children under 7 + under 0.9m can buy. If I want to buy, have to go to transit link ticket office (which not all stations has) with their passports to apply. Then I went to those ticket machines to buy single trip. Another BIG shock next. There is NO children ticket to buy. All standard fare. WTF is that? I have NEVER travelled to a place where there is NO concession ticket for children. Why is Singapore transport like that? So until now, I haven't got my children the tickets because the ticket office when I passed by was not opened. Only open after 12pm and then close sometime midday and open a few hours next. Just ranting... Not a major issue but don't think it's fair for tourists. And my children are Singaporeans.... End up I take taxi better since they are charged adult fares. back to Sg 2 days and you are complaining like us once again maybe you can try HK style march on the street and shouting slogans?

Mason016 Supersonic July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 The excuse that regulating single trip child fare is difficult is not valid. No lah, we should not complain. The fares are low relative to UK so child fare isn't needed since fares are low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Supercharged July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 I checked the transitlink website. kids under 7 yrs travel FREE With the enhanced concession scheme kicking in on 6 April 2014, children under 7 years old can travel for FREE on basic bus services, express bus services and trains. http://www.transitlink.com.sg/PSdetail.aspx?ty=art&Id=50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXacTo 3rd Gear July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 New York City ? Flat fare for all. I don't think that's quite correct .... New York city does have differing fares, and free for young kids: The fare for a subway or local bus ride is $2.75*. The fare for an express bus ride is $6.50. If you qualify for reduced fare, you can travel for half fare. Up to three children 44 inches tall and under ride for free on subways and local buses when accompanied by a fare paying adult. Infants (under two years of age) ride express buses free if the child sits on the lap of the accompanying adult. http://web.mta.info/metrocard/mcgtreng.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Sometimes I wonder, are they trying to make things difficult in order to make money out of it. Why only certain stations have "special" machines that can top up concession pass or only certain stations can process application of students' pass? My adult card also giving me problems, always encounter errors when tapping at the gantry and to avoid crowds and long queues at the station control, have to resort to buying single trip fare.
