Since 3 July 2010, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Public Transport Council (PTC) had launched the new fare collection model - Distance-Based Fare (DBF). This means that the fares payable are based on the total distance traveled, hence benefiting transferring commuters.

    • A $0.50 or the equivalent rail fare, whichever is lower, discount applied if commuters tap in to any MRT/LRT station before 7.45am on Weekdays except Public Holidays.

Adult Senior Citizen Persons with
Disabilities		 Student Workfare Transport
Concession		 Children
Feeder $0.92 $0.59 $0.42 $0.68 FREE
Basic/Trunk $0.92 - $2.17 $0.59 - $0.92 $0.42 - $0.63 $0.68 - $1.72 FREE

Premium $3.00 - $6.00
  • Notes: Children who height is above 0.9m (under the age of 7) are required to have a child concession card.

Transferring Rules[edit]

In order for a valid transfer, the following conditions must be met:

  • All journeys must be within 2 hours of the first boarding (on the same journey).
  • Maximum of 5 transfers can be made within a journey.
  • 45 minutes for transfers between rail station and bus service, or between different bus services.
  • 15 minutes for transfers between different rail stations.
  • Current bus service must not be the same number as the preceding bus service.
  • Terminating trip for dual-loop feeders service and transfer to its non-terminating trip at respective interchange will consist as a single trip.
  • No exit and re-entry at the same station (15 minutes for transfer at Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Newton and Tampines stations).

Fare Calculation[edit]

When a combination of fare structure was involved in a calculation, such as Feeder Bus Service → MRT, fares are calculated using the most expensive fare structures FIRST.

Take note of the following fare payment calculation when using the old CEPAS Card Based Ticketing (CBT) and the new SimplyGo Accounting Based Ticketing (ABT) when using the following network.

Rail Network[edit]

As there are many ways a commuters may choose to travel in the train network, the approaches that was used was to take the shortest possible distance, irregardless of the time taken.

LTA formally uses the shortest travelling time to determine the fare when Distance Based Fare was launched, which was reverted to the shortest possible distance some time in 2015.
