SG: One more year of free travel

LTA introduced a scheme last year which makes pre-peak travel on the rail network free of charge for the commuters. The scheme is so successful and popular, that the LTA will extend the scheme by a full year, all the way to the 23rd of June 2015. The free rides are for commuters who end their journey before 7.45am on weekdays at 18 designated MRT stations in the city area. Commuters who exit at these stations between 7.45am and 8am will continue to be given a discount of up to 50 cents off their train fare. This scheme makes peak hour trains less crowded, for 7% of commuters have opted to utilise the free service. To further encourage more to use the service, Ya Kun has kindly sponsored breakfast tickets which will be distributed at selected city stations such as Raffles Place and Tanjong Pagar on certain days in May. Commuters who exit these stations before 7.45am will receive a breakfast voucher each while stocks last.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
