Moscow Metro: The Complete Guide

The Moscow Metro is busy, but easy to use

Robert Schrader

With nearly 7 million riders per day on its 16 lines, the Moscow Metro is the sixth-busiest metro system in the world as of March 2019. Riding the Moscow Metro, however, does not need to be a stressful experience. In fact, it's by far the easiest and most enjoyable way to get around Moscow, especially since many Moscow Metro stations are veritable works of art. Our guide to the public transportation will teach you how to ride the Metro and more.

How to Ride the Moscow Metro

Here is some essential practical information you need to know to easily and seamlessly ride the Moscow Metro.

• Fares: Moscow Metro fares start at 55 rubles for a one-way ticket, which is good for five days after purchase. You'll pay more if your journey takes you outside of the central Moscow zones of A and B, though this is not the case for most tourists.
• How to Pay: Cash is the only way to buy a one-way ticket. However, if you have Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, you can tap your phone directly at the ticket gate and enter using NFC technology. You can also use both mobile payments and credit cards to top-up your reloadable Troika card.
• Routes and Hours: The Moscow Metro has 13 lines that snake and criss-cross the city, plus outer and inner loop lines that string them together, as well as a monorail. The Moscow Metro is open from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., and trains run with a frequency that can range between 1 and 7 minutes.
• Service Alerts: Download the official MosMetro app on the AppStore or Google Play .
• Transfers: Regardless of how you pay to enter the Moscow Metro, you can transfer to any of the core lines plus the Moscow Monorail without passing through an additional ticket gate. If you wish to transfer to bus lines, airport trains or other rail services, paying with Troika or your mobile device might be more convenient.
• Accessibility: Although Moscow Metro is impressive and modern in many ways, it is not very accessible . Visitors who use wheelchairs should try to avoid the subway and take aboveground transportation instead.

Beautiful Moscow Metro Stations

The Moscow Metro has achieved internet notoriety — and not just because of how busy it is. Several Moscow Metro stations are distractingly beautiful, including:

• Aviamotornaya: Brilliant gold themed to the flight of Icarus.
• Komsomolskaya: Bright yellow ceilings and murals chronicling Russia's journey to independence.
• Mayakovskaya: Art Deco, featuring mosaic ceilings and pink marble floor
• Park Pobedy: Modern station (built in 2003) with colorful murals; one of the deepest metro stations in the world (276 feet below ground!).
• Ploschad Revolutsii: Constructed in 1938 at the height of Soviet pride, this station is home to bronze statues that locals still rub for good luck.

Although it's technically legal to take pictures within the Moscow Metro, guards might approach you if you spend too long photographing a particular station, or use professional equipment like a tripod. Be as discreet as possible to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation!

Other Moscow Public Transit

In addition to the (mostly) subterranean transport offered by the Moscow Metro, Russia's capital is home to a number of aboveground transport options. This includes a large network of buses, as well as trams and "trolley buses." While these are all cheaper than the Moscow Metro, they also require some command of Russian to use; the ordinary buses are also subject to sitting in Moscow's terrible traffic.

In terms of payment, your Moscow Metro ticket isn't valid for transit to any other form of transit, though a Troika card will allow you to do so seamlessly. Likewise, while the various Aeroexpress trains (between Sheremetyevo Airport and Belorussky Station, Domodedovo Airport and Paveletsky Station and between Vnukovo Airport and Kievsky Station) feature modern vehicles and offer fast, reliable connections to Moscow's major airports, these lines are not considered to be part of the Moscow Metro system.

As noted earlier, the Moscow Metro is technically organized by "Zone," with the center of Moscow being occupied by the "A" and "B" zone. Again, you shouldn't worry too much about this. If you're hanging out in the parts of the city, you probably speak enough Russian to be able to ask a local for advice!

Taxis and Ride Sharing Apps

The bad news? It is exceedingly unlikely that a taxi drive in Moscow will speak English. The good news? Uber works in Moscow as of March 2019, which means that if you have the app installed on your smartphone (and a Russian SIM card, which you can pick up at Moscow Airport), your next Moscow ride is basically a matter of plug-and-play.

Russia also has a number of homegrown ride sharing apps, though these aren't as ubiquitous as Uber — they also don't have good English-language interfaces. If you're interested in learning more about them, in any case, be sure to visit the websites of InDriver or Taxi Maxim . Keep in mind that many of these applications require Russian credit cards, or a Russian bank account to pay for rides.

Security-wise, the technological aspect of using ride sharing apps in Russia makes them relatively safe. On the other hand, taxis have a dodgy reputation at best. If you do end up needing to take a taxi in Moscow, make sure to use a registered car. The ones waiting at the airport stands are generally legitimate; within the city limits, try and have your hotel call a taxi to be safe.

Renting a Car in Moscow

Traffic in Moscow is reliably awful, to say nothing of how difficult navigating the city's serpentine network of ring roads and one-way streets can be. However, if you do want to rent a car in Moscow (or in Russia, more generally) there are some facts you should keep in mind.

Documentation wise, it's not officially necessary to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) — your US driver's license will work, at least if you plan to drive in Russia for less than six months. However, it might serve you well to get an IDP (you can apply at your local AAA office) for peace of mind. In Russia as in the US, you drive on the right side of the road; gas costs about 40 rubles per liter, or about $2.40 per gallon.

Another potential downfall of renting a car of Russia is the threat of interactions with Russian traffic police. While this doesn't put you in any mortal danger, there is a chance you'll have to bribe your way out of any confrontation, which outside the center of Moscow or other Russian cities will almost certainly necessitate some Russian language or body language skills.

Tips for Getting Around Moscow

Regardless of whether you take the Moscow Metro or any of the other transportation options listed here, these general tips for getting around Moscow will serve you well:

• Moscow's city center is very walkable. Unless you're visiting on a bitterly cold day during the middle of winter, many of Moscow's attractions are close enough together that you could walk. For example, you can easily walk from Red Square to Gorky Park, Bolshoy Theatre , Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts , the Kremlin or simply along the Moskva River.
• All roads lead to Red Square. Although Moscow is not a grid-pattern city, it is relatively organized. The majority of major roads start and end at Red Square; the rest are circular ones that connect the "spokes" from Red Square. With this basic idea in mind, it's pretty difficult to get lost in Moscow!
• Moscow's awful traffic means that rail is usually the quickest option. Even if the physical distance between two places is shorter by car, traveling via the Moscow Metro is probably going to be quicker.
• English signage in Moscow has greatly improved over the years. On the other hand, familiarizing yourself with the Cyrillic alphabet before your trip to Russia probably wouldn't be a bad idea. If you need to push someone out of the way (spoiler alert: you probably will!), say izvineetye (sorry) to excuse yourself.
• Petty theft is common, especially during rush hour. Wear your backpack in front of your body, and don't keep large amounts of cash (or your smartphone!) in your back pocket. Hide any conspicuous signs of wealth to avoid being a target!

The Moscow Metro is easy to use—once you get the hang of it. After all, more than two billion trips take place across its rails every year. If it were difficult, this simply wouldn't be possible!

The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) network is efficient, modern, and can take you to practically every point of interest in the city .

One thing that surprises people about the city is the atmosphere and life that abounds beneath the city. Some stations are enormous and have shops , restaurants , and more!

Unlike in many other cities, having a shop in the metro station is a great location!

The MRT has five lines

• NS (North-South Line, Red ): from Marina Bay to Jurong East.
• EW (East-West Line, Green) goes from the  Changi Airport  to Tuas Link. It takes 27 mins from the airport to the center.
• NE (North-East Line, Brown ): Connects HarbourFront (the stop if you want to go to  Sentosa ) and Punggol.
• CC (Circle Line, Yellow ): Connects HarbourFront and Marina Bay.
• DTL (Downtown Line, Blue ): Connects Bukit Panjang in the northeast and Expo to the east.

No Durians Please

Something that's sure to surprise you is the restrictions on the MRT. On the metro, you can't smoke, eat, drink, or bring on board flammable substances or (the cherry on the cake) durian fruit.

These are local fruits which, although tasty, smell terrible! And as well as on the metro, they're banned from hotels.

The metro runs from 5:30 am to 12:30 am . The frequency varies from 2 to 8 minutes depending on the line and the time of day.

The price of the Singapore MRT depends on the distance traveled. It varies between 1.50 SGD ( US$ 1.10) and 2.50 SGD ( US$ 1.80) per journey .

If you want to save on transport, the best option is the EZ-Link card or the Singapore Tourist Pass .

Latest MRT Map [April 2024] & Tips to Navigating Singapore MRT System

By Trip.com

April 22, 2024

MRT Map from LTA Singapore is a vibrant and exciting city with a wealth of sights and experiences to explore. Taking the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is one of the best and most convenient ways for tourists to explore Singapore. This tourist guide provides a comprehensive overview of Singapore's MRT system and tips for getting the most out of your ride. Check out First & Last Train Timings from Changi Airport !

Introduction to the Singapore MRT

Photo by Kit Suman on Unsplash

The history of MRT in Singapore dates back to 1981 and is rooted in necessity. The island's limited space and growing population necessitated a transport system that could accommodate the demand. The then Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, initiated the construction of the MRT, a project that required a staggering budget of 5 billion SGD.

The first MRT line was erected in the Toa Payoh and Novena area in 1983, marking the beginning of a transportation revolution in Singapore. Gradually, the MRT network expanded into the city's center, with the first line, the North-South Line, opening officially on November 7, 1987. Since then, the MRT has become a reliable and comfortable choice of transport for both locals and tourists.

The Singapore MRT system is one of the world's most advanced and efficient transportation networks. It is a great way to explore the city and its many attractions. The system is made up of five lines: North-South, East-West, Circle, Northeast, and Downtown. It is well-connected and covers the entire city, making it easy to get around.

The MRT is a great way to explore Singapore's attractions, as it is well-connected with many of the city's tourist spots. The MRT stations are clearly marked and easy to find. There is also an extensive network of buses and taxis for those who prefer not to take the MRT.

An Overview of the MRT Lines

The MRT system comprises several lines, each denoted by a specific color on the MRT map . These lines connect different parts of Singapore, making travel quick and easy.

Thomson-East Coast Line: The Newest Addition

The Thomson-East Coast Line, denoted by the color brown on the MRT map , is the latest addition to the MRT network. It offers an alternative to the North-South Line and is particularly beneficial for residents of the Woodlands area. The line's construction is still ongoing, with phases two and three delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Thomson-East Coast Line is also part of Singapore's Art in Transit program, featuring unique artworks at each station. Particularly, the Woodlands South station stands out with its vibrant wall decor, making it a fun stop for a quick selfie.

Sengkang LRT and Punggol LRT: Smaller but Significant

The Sengkang and Punggol Light Rail Transit (LRT) lines, marked in grey on the MRT map , are smaller and less speedy than the MRT lines, but they cover essential areas. The Sengkang LRT, a driverless and fully automated train, has two loops: the East Loop and the West Loop. Similarly, the Punggol LRT is divided into two loops.

North-South Line: The Pioneer

As the first MRT line in Singapore, the North-South Line holds historical significance. Since its inauguration in 1987, it has expanded to cover 27 stations and has transitioned from semi-automatic to fully-automatic operation. The line is denoted by red on the MRT map .

Notable Stations:

• Orchard Station : As the epicenter of Singapore's famed shopping scene, Orchard Road offers an unparalleled retail experience with its array of malls and boutiques. The area buzzes with activity, from high-end fashion to street-level bargains, alongside a variety of dining options.
• Marina Bay Station : This station opens up to the futuristic landscape of the Marina Bay area. Here, you can explore the iconic Marina Bay Sands, the stunning Gardens by the Bay with its Supertree Grove, and the architecturally unique ArtScience Museum. The area is a testament to Singapore’s urban innovation and cultural flair.
• Khatib Station : A gateway to Singapore's wildlife experiences, Khatib Station is the closest MRT stop to the Singapore Zoo, River Safari, and Night Safari. These attractions offer immersive encounters with a wide range of wildlife, set in environments that closely mimic their natural habitats.

North East Line: A Technological Marvel

The North East Line, marked in purple on the MRT map , is the world's first fully automated and driverless MRT line. It consists of 16 stations, each featuring distinctive artworks as part of the Art in Transit Program. If you're headed to Sentosa Island, you can disembark at the HarbourFront station and continue your journey via the Sentosa Express Monorail.

• Little India Station : Little India is a vibrant district that offers a sensory feast. From the colorful facades of its shophouses to the tantalizing scents of its street food, this area provides an authentic glimpse into Indian culture within Singapore.
• HarbourFront Station : HarbourFront Station serves as the main access point to Sentosa Island, a world-renowned resort destination. Sentosa is a treasure trove of attractions, including beaches, theme parks, and luxury resorts, making it a perfect escape from the city hustle.
• Clarke Quay Station : Clarke Quay is synonymous with nightlife and dining in Singapore. This historic riverside quay is bustling with bars, restaurants, and clubs, offering a lively atmosphere and picturesque views, especially at night.

East-West Line: The Longest Route

The East-West Line, the second oldest MRT line in Singapore, is the longest train rail in the city-state. It covers 35 stations and is marked in green on the MRT map . The line has an extension to Changi Airport from the Tanah Merah MRT Station, making it convenient for travelers.

• Raffles Place Station : Situated in the heart of Singapore's financial district, this area is not just about high-rise buildings and corporate offices. A short walk away is the Merlion Park, offering picturesque views of the Marina Bay and a chance to see the iconic Merlion statue.
• Changi Airport Station : Ranked among the world’s best airports, Changi Airport is a destination in itself. The station provides direct access to the airport’s various terminals, including the Jewel Changi Airport, known for its breathtaking Rain Vortex and lush indoor gardens.
• Bugis Station : This station is a stone's throw away from the vibrant Bugis Street market. Known for its bustling atmosphere, the area is a mix of traditional shops, modern boutiques, and street food stalls, reflecting Singapore’s multicultural heritage.

Downtown Line: The Subterranean Marvel

Marked in blue on the MRT map , the Downtown Line is the fifth and longest fully underground MRT line in the world. It serves 34 stations and is known for its extensive Art in Transit program.

• Bugis Station : Bugis is known for its youthful vibe and cultural diversity. The nearby Haji Lane is a narrow alley filled with independent boutiques, cafes, and wall murals, offering a stark contrast to the modern cityscape.
• Promenade Station : The Singapore Flyer, one of the world's largest observation wheels

Circle Line: The Perfect Circle

The Circle Line, aptly named for its circular shape on the MRT map and marked in orange, was the fourth MRT line in Singapore. It spans 35.7 km and covers 30 stations. This line significantly reduced the travel time between Bishan and Changi Airport from 1 hour 30 minutes to just 45 minutes.

• Esplanade Station : Adjacent to the iconic Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, this area is a cultural landmark in Singapore, known for its durian-like architecture and a plethora of performing arts events. The nearby Marina Bay area serves as a stunning backdrop, especially during the evening.
• Botanic Gardens Station : The Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a testament to Singapore's reputation as a city in a garden. This station offers direct access to the lush greenery and tranquil scenery of the gardens, including the famous National Orchid Garden.
• Bayfront Station : Bayfront Station is the doorstep to the Marina Bay Sands complex, a symbol of modern Singapore. The area is a hub of luxury shopping, fine dining, and entertainment, with the ArtScience Museum adding a touch of creativity and innovation.

Bukit Panjang LRT: The First Light Rail System

The Bukit Panjang LRT, marked in grey on the MRT map , was the first light rail system in Singapore. Despite its short length of 7.6 km, it conveniently connects with the North-South Line and Downtown Line.

MRT fares and ticketing systems

The fares for Singapore MRT are dependent on the distance traveled and the type of ticket used. The fares are divided into two categories: adult fares and senior citizen/student fares.

For adult fares, the prices range from S$0.92 to S$3.10 for a single trip, depending on the distance traveled. Passengers can also choose to use the EZ-Link card, which offers a 10% discount off the standard adult fare. The EZ-Link card can be purchased and topped up at any MRT station or convenience store.

For senior citizen/student fares, the prices range from S$0.50 to S$1.55 for a single trip, again depending on the distance traveled. Senior citizens can enjoy these fares if they are aged 60 years and above, while students can enjoy these fares if they are primary, secondary, or full-time polytechnic students in Singapore.

There are also other types of tickets available, such as the Singapore Tourist Pass and the Monthly Travel Pass, which offer unlimited rides within a certain duration. Passengers are encouraged to check the fare calculator on the webpage to determine the fare for their intended journey.

EZ Link Card

To use the MRT, tourists will first need to purchase an EZ-Link card , which can be easily obtained at any MRT station. The card can be used not only on the MRT, but also on buses and certain other forms of public transportation in Singapore. Tourists can choose between a single-trip ticket, which is valid for one journey on the MRT, or a stored-value card, which allows for multiple trips and can be topped up as needed.

Once they have their EZ-Link card, tourists can plan their trip using the interactive MRT map, which can be found on the official website of the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The website also provides real-time updates on train schedules and disruptions, so visitors can plan their journey with confidence.

MRT is an effective transport system for tourists

Overall, the MRT is a convenient and efficient way for tourists to explore Singapore. With its extensive coverage of popular attractions and easy-to-use payment system, it is the perfect option for visitors who want to make the most of their time in the city-state.

Singapore MRT

Singapore is popularly known as the Garden City of Southeast Asia which, due to its size, is easy to navigate and only takes a short time to get from North to South, or East to West.

Aside from taxis, the most common mode of transportation in Singapore is the MRT , also known as the “Mass Rapid Transit” system.

Singapore MRT, Ticket Prices & Fares, Maps & Routes

All trains are air-conditioned and are well maintained. The North-East line operated by SBS is also an automated underground rail system which operates from Punggol to Harbourfront . Aside from being one of the most modern MRT systems in the world, the advanced features of the trains make them some of the safest in the world.

One of the unique features also of the Singapore MRT system is the use of destination numbers instead of usual line numbers. The train lines are also distinguished by colour: The Green Line travels east/west, the Red Line travels north/south. Like most train operators, a contactless smartcard required for each passenger which is scanned when entering or exiting the station.

Although fare prices vary depending on the boarding and alighting stations, you can store money on these cards in order to take multiple journeys over your extended stay. A single trip for an adult start from $1.40 and can be purchased from ticket machines at the stations. Usually, the train operation starts daily at 5.30am and runs until midnight with peak hours between 7am to 9am.

Announcements are made in English as is all signage. To get to and from Changi Airport , you can take the East/West (green) line. Simply follow the signs from the arrivals hall to the MRT. You can purchase a one-way ticket with cash or credit for about $1.40 each way. Take the train and get off at the second stop ‘Tanah Merah’, you need to interchange here and it is extremely simple as the ongoing train is just across the platform. The train will continue on the green line heading towards the city. If you need to get on a Purple Line, you can change at Bugis . If you need to get on a Red Line, change at City Hall . A one-way train trip from City Hall to Changi Airport only takes around 15 minutes.

Is there a map which shows where MRT is overground & underground? One of our party doesn’t like tube trains.

I have searched online for a map that illustrates this, but unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be anything that strays away from the standard map.

Based on other people’s feedback, they state that “all stations and tracks within Orchard, Marina and the Central Business District area are underground”. So it’s to say that if you are within the popular business direct area, the train station will be underground.

Thanks Michael

Where is the nearest MRT station to suntec city

Although Esplanade and Promenade on the Circle Line look to be equal distance from Suntec City, i would recommend using Promenade as the walk will be much quicker.

Getting off at Esplanade would require you to wait for the lights or use the overpass in order to get over Nicoll Hwy.

But it all depends really from what direction you are coming from. That is, any time spent going the extra station might negate the time saved.

Thanks Michael. Btw what kinda distance are we talking about. I’ll be taking the MRT from changi with 2 large bags so I think you get my predicament right. Regards

What is the MRT fare for going to city hall from Beauty world?

You can use the fare calculator here to work out how much it costs to travel on the Singapore MRT. The standard fare will be S$2.20.

Best regards, Jess

Hi. What time is the last MRT? Planning for the new year fireworks at Gardens by the bay

You don’t mention which line you wish to travel on, however the MRT is extended for NYE celebrations with the last MRT’s generally running between 1am – 2.30, depending on which line you require.

Best to check with the SMRT site directly. Insert the station and it will give you the last MRT time.

We will be staying eight days over the Christmas period, are the MRT trains running as normal.

Yes, the MRT runs as normal. In fact, extra services are typically offered over the busy NYE period.

Is there a MRT ticket card for senior citizens like it is in Hongkong?

There are seniors tickets, but only for permanent residents and citizens only, who will have a concession EZlink card.

Regards, Jess

Travel Fares

Bus and train (MRT and/or LRT) fares in Singapore are charged according to the total distance travelled in a journey and this is known as the Distance Fares system. It lets you make transfers without paying a charge each time you board a bus or train during a journey.

If you start your journey with a bus ride, then alight at a bus stop to board a different bus service, or even the MRT/LRT, this is considered as making a transfer. The following rules apply when calculating distance-based fares.

A transfer can be from

• the MRT/LRT to a bus service
• the MRT/LRT to another MRT/LRT
• a bus service to another bus service
• a bus service to the MRT/LRT

Under Distance Fares, the rules are

• The maximum duration between the first and last boarding (not alighting) of a bus or train within a journey is two hours.
• A maximum of five transfers can be made within a journey.
• Multiple train transfers are allowed with no additional boarding charges.
• 45 minutes for transfers between train station and bus service, or between different bus services.
• 15 minutes for transfers between different train stations.
• The current bus service must not be the same number as the preceding bus service.
• No exit and re-entry at the same train station.

Train and bus fares can be paid via

• Stored value travel card (EZ-Link card, NETS FlashPay card, Concession card)
• Bank card (e.g. contactless credit/debit card, NETS contactless card, mobile payment apps e.g. Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay)
• Concession Pass
• Singapore Tourist Pass

To enjoy distance-based fares, do I need to tap in and out at MRT interchange stations for my transfer?

If you are transferring trains at the Bukit Panjang, Newton or Tampines MRT interchange stations, you will need to tap out from the particular MRT line that you first took and tap in again at the connecting line to continue your journey.

The transfer must be made within 15 minutes. Transfers made after the 15-minute grace period at the MRT interchange station will be considered a new journey.

If you are travelling from Pasir Ris MRT Station to MacPherson MRT Station, you will first need to tap out at Tampines MRT Station (East-West Line). Then, you should tap in at Tampines MRT Station (Downtown Line) within 15 minutes, before taking the Downtown Line to MacPherson MRT Station.

What does not qualify as a valid transfer?

The following do not qualify as valid transfers:

• A transfer between two MRT stations that takes more than 15 minutes.
• Transfer from a bus to another bus of the same service number, or to/from a subsidiary service (e.g. transfers between Bus Services 98, 98A, 98B).
• Transfer to/from Sentosa Bus, Night Services and Chinatown Direct Services.
• A Bus Concession Pass, Train Concession Pass or Hybrid Concession Pass is used.
• A journey that has more than five transfers.

Examples of scenarios that do not fulfil the transfer rules:

i. Commuter exceeds the 45-minute allowance between transfers

Ms Letchmi took Bus Service 197 and alighted at 7.51am at a bus stop along North Bridge Road. At about 9am, she boarded Bus Service 63 at Victoria Street. When she tapped her card upon boarding, the card reader displayed "New Ride". She was puzzled that her trip on Bus Service 63 was considered a new journey.

The rules of Distance Fares state that the time limit between transfers is 45 minutes. When Ms Letchmi boarded Bus Service 63, she had exceeded the 45-minute allowance between successive transfers. As such, her trip on Bus Service 63 was correctly charged as a new journey.

ii. Commuter exceeds the two-hour maximum duration between the first and last boarding

Mdm Tan boarded her usual Bus Service 131 at Shenton Way at 10.03am and alighted at the bus stop near HarbourFront MRT Station at 10.30am. She then ran a quick errand in the vicinity before taking a train at HarbourFront MRT Station at 11.05am. Her train ride was within the 45-minute allowance between transfers. Thereafter, Mdm Tan alighted at Yew Tee MRT Station, where she subsequently transferred to Bus Service 302 at 12.15pm. Mdm Tan was charged the full fare of $0.71 for her ride on Bus Service 302. She felt that she was overcharged for this leg of her journey as her usual fare was $0.05.   

The rules of Distance Fares state that the maximum duration between the first and last boarding (not alighting) of a bus or train within a journey is two hours. By the time Mdm Tan boarded Bus Service 302, it had been more than two hours since she first started her journey on Bus Service 131 at Shenton Way. As such, her trip on Bus Service 302 was considered a new journey, and the $0.71 fare was correctly charged.

iii. Commuter takes the same bus service more than once in a journey

Mr Ali boarded Bus Service 19 and alighted at CIAS Cargo Complex. He later took the same Bus Service 19, and realised he did not get to enjoy the transfer fare for his second bus trip. He felt he had been overcharged. 

The rules of Distance Fares state that commuters cannot take the same bus service more than once in a journey. As Mr Ali had taken the same bus service for his second trip, it did not qualify as a valid transfer. Thus, his two trips on Bus Service 19 were considered as two separate journeys.

Is there a time limit for MRT/LRT travel?

Yes, the maximum time allowed is 120 minutes. Your stored value travel card will be rejected by the fare gate if you exceed this duration. You need to pay an administrative charge of $2 at the Passenger Service Centre in order to exit the fare gate. If you are at an unmanned LRT station, you can contact the Operations Control Centre via the intercom for assistance. The time limit also applies to Concession card holders with valid concession passes.
