For MRT, unlikely waiting time can be reduced beyond 2 minutes.

Confirm a lot of ppl.

99 cents is minimum charge.

For short trip, it will be “expensive”.

If you travel from Punggol to Tuas Link, it is $2.26.

A bit not worth leh. If you regularly have to travel short trip (but too far to walk) then really can add up quite quickly.

you have to look at the whole journey, one short bus trip follow by another train/bus trip, the fare for the 2nd one will be discounted. Like my usual trip to office, bus trip was 99cts but train to town only 23cts, total $1.22. Also if I take bus to clementi central to buy breakfast and take bus home within 1 hour(?) the total fare is still 99cts.

However, the fare in the evening is more for the same journey compare to the morning trip.

Oh...this make sense for most...since most people will continue their journey from the MRT station onwards. 

But I go to the nearest MRT station only........no more onwards. Very ex like that if I take bus.
