FARES EFFECTIVE FROM 1 APRIL 2009
With the exception of flat fare services, adult fares are calculated based on the number of fare stages travelled. Each fare stage is about 0.8 km. These fare stages coincide with specific bus stops of each route. Half-fare stages occur at bus stops between the fare stages.
The fares payable by a commuter are as follows:
Trunk Services
| Fare Stages | ez-link card Fare | Cash Fare | ||

| 4 and less | $0.64 | $0.69 | $0.90 | $1.00 |

Feeder/TownLink/Intra-town Services
Feeder, TownLink and Intra-town services are flat-fare services.
TownLink or Intra-town services involve the merging of feeder services to provide direct links between neighbourhoods within the same town as well as to connect commuters to trunk services at bus interchanges and to the MRT. This will enhance intra-town travel and reduce bus transfers between neighbourhoods.
