Apr 20, 2023I see there's a new EZ pass in operation for public transport in Singapore.
I still have an 'old' one, but that hasn't been used since Dec 2008 so I assume it'll be null and void.
As I have an 8 day stay, I assume the only option I have is to pony up the $5 for a new one? (The 'tourist' one at $8/day both seems steep and is only valid for 5 days...)
As an aside, can someone tell me what the qualifier is for children to start having to pay in Singapore? I seem to recall it's when they're over a certain height, rather than an age - is that correct?
Thanks

It will be disabled, but you can still get a refund of value and deposit at any Transitlink Ticket Office till 24 Dec 2011.Originally Posted by Swiss Tony

When did the new pass come into effect?

I need to look up the exact measurement but it is height based. You asked in a separate post about taking bus 36. You will find two height markers on a pillar directly behind the bus captain (driver) for this purpose.Originally Posted by Swiss Tony

Yes, height determines if fares apply. I had to look this up recently - it's on the SMRT or SBS website. IIRC, < 0.9m = free; 0.9m ~ 1.2m = child fare.Originally Posted by Swiss Tony
