Presently, passengers have to buy a new ticket for each trip with no discount given and a higher deposit.
1. With the new standard ticket, a lower deposit of 10 cents will be required instead of the current S$1.
2. The new ticket can be used up to six times within 30 days from the date of purchase and to encourage users to minimise wastage of the tickets, a discount of 10 cents will be given for the sixth trip.
3. With the new standard ticket, passengers can also choose to buy a "Return Trip" in addition to a "Single Trip".
4. A maximum of two trips can be bought on the card at a time. Currently, only a single trip can be bought.
5. Passengers can also opt to select their destination by "Station Name" on top of the current "Rail Map" option.
The sale and use of the current ticket will be discontinued and fully replaced by the enhanced tickets in March next year.
General Ticketing Machines will also be progressively upgraded from August this year, with larger screens to make it easier for passengers, especially senior citizens, to read them.
Cash and NETS top-up services for the stored value transit cards and concession cards will continue to be available at all machines.
The upgrading will be completed by May next year.
