71c + 50c + 49c + 5c + 7c + 3c = $1.85
If x-fer 187 from Block 223 directly to my house also needs 15 cents lol.

Yes, if:
1. your journey has a maximum of 6 trips
2. you transfer within 45minutes between alighting and boarding
3. first boarding to last boarding is within 2 hours
4. your journey consists of a single rail entry and exit
5. the fare for the rail portion of your journey consists of solely travel on NSL and EWL
6. the other trips of your journey consist of only SBST and SMRTB basic bus services (trunk, feeder, industrial, townlink, intratown, but not express, FFw, parks, premium, chinatown, stadium, nite owl, nightrider)
The fare cap is $1.94, and you pay that fare once your cumulative distance exceeds 40.2km.
the cheapest and most optimal route , which route ?

By bus
1) Option 1: Sv 851 from Opp Blk 757 along Yishun Ave 2, alight Os the Verge along Sungei Rd. Fare: $1.49
Option 2: Take MRT to Novena, x-fer to Sv 56, 57, 166, 851, 980 & alight Os The Verge along Sungei Rd. Fare: $1.41 + 8c = $1.49
2) Option 1: Take MRT from Admiralty to Novena x-fer to Sv 56, 57, 166, 851, 980. Fare: $1.61 + 9c = $1.70
Option 2: Take Sv 969 to Yishun MRT, x-fer to MRT to Novena & x-fer to Sv 56, 57, 166, 851, 980: Fare: $1.01 + 60c + 6c = $1.67.

let say, you take MRT from Toa Payoh to Yishun (12.2km at S$1.33).. then you transfer to 811 at interchange... you can take 811 from start to end of the journey (i.e from interchange to interchange, which is 15.9km), you will be billed only 12.2km+3.2km(max distance charge for feeder/intratown) = S$1.49 (instead of 12.2km+15.9km).
let say, you take 811 from interchange and alight at Yishun Blk 289 (2.1km covered for 811), you will be billed for 12.2km+2.1km = 14.3km which is S$1.45...
likewise, if you take 811 first... if the distance covered on 811 is more than 3.2km, only 3.2km will be added to the total journey travelled. i.e if you decide to take from interchange to interchange before taking MRT to Toa payoh, you will be billed 3.2km (not 15.9km) +12.2km = 15.4 km at S$1.49....

Oh okay I get it thanks!
Today, I took TIB673R and 1 funny thing was the price for my whole fare is only $0.10. Firstly, I tap in @ Woodlands interchange(heading checkpoint). So I took the bus for 1 round to checkpoint and came back to Woodlands Interchange. The bus then headed to Street 83/82 way. Only after the bus arriving at Block 875 bus stop, i tap out and fare reads $0.10 for the fare!

either reader wrong or driver never update (VLS disabled). 10c on your fare only lasts 2 bands.. You obviously travelled more than 3.2km = 3 fare bands needs to be deducted.
