Bus And Train Fares

Bus and Train Fares in Singapore are calculated by distance. For buses, fares are measured by distance the bus travels, while for trains, fares are measured by the shortest possible distance travelled between your origin and destination stations. Each person above the age of 7 and each child under the age of 7 but above the height of 0.9m must use their own travel card or contactless card to enter and exit the bus and train system. No sharing of cards is allowed. If you are travelling by bus and do not have a travel card or contactless card, you can also pay by cash.
