SMRT, SBS unveil free trips on National Day

To let commuters attend islandwide celebrations.

Public bus and rail operators SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation will jointly offer free travel on board all their bus and train services on National Day, August 9.

The two operators believe that the free trips will encourage people to attend National Day celebrations island-wide.

Commuters taking SBS Transit and SMRT trunk and feeder bus services, as well as SMRT’s Night Rider and all SBS Transit’s non basic services such as Parks, Chinatown Direct and Night Owl bus services, can board any bus free of charge without having to tap in or out with their fare cards.

Fare gates leading to train services run by SMRT and SBS Transit will be opened on National Day to allow people to board trains on multiple train lines for free.

Connections between rail lines operated by the two PTOs will also be free.
