So if want to cheat, they might confiscate your concession card and maybe void your concession rights, who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galantspeedz Turbocharged July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Nowadays the stations are very lightly staffed and I believe it is the cost factor. This is not a bad idea as most developed countries have lightly staffed stations so everything is automated, except we have a lot of commuters throughout the day. Sometimes I wish they were more to direct traffic, supervise safety and get people to queue up especially during peak hours. You very long never take mrt during peak hours right?

Atonchia Supersonic July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 my girl 18mths 90+cm tall liao leh.. ok, she hasnot taken public yet.. maybe buses 2x.. Wah, that's quite fast my daughter 2yrs plus is 87cm.

Tigerwoods Turbocharged 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. Spore style - anyone shorter than 0.9m rides for free. So they at least compliment short people and babies. Anything else is raiding their reserves !

inlinesix Hypersonic July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 In Sg, everyone is assumed to be cheater until proven otherwise. That's why everything must be verified. When i was in HK 2 yrs ago, i was surprised that LRT in NT has no gantry and no staff on platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen 2nd Gear July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Did not know there is no children concession ticket. So if have not started school, children is free travel? But I think even australia must have student card if want to use concession, but all station can buy the ticket. in australia, even their zoo is free for children under 12 years old!! swiss standard of living wor, my foot!!!
