Any more ways to save more money with DBTF?

At the past can, but now cannot.....
However, I still spot some people tap out the ez-link card early but SL never observed about that.....

If feeder or intratown svc, the SL/BC dun bother.
BTW if they tap out early, the journey more than 1hr wait for another bus for transfer also transfer benefits gone.

actually if feeder or intratown, the SL/BC also shldnt dont bother. There's a difference if u are transferring to a feeder or intratown. If u straight away tap out or tap out before 3.2km cap, still ur fare paid is lesser than what u shld if u travel more than 3.2km.

agreed. once saw a feeder with 0.0km reading throughout. zero revenue except for new rides, equivalent to a loss in revenue of up to 40 cents!

My advice: PAY THE CORRECT FARE. Later ticket inspector (?) come do random check then you kena.

Fares start from 0.0km - infinity.
Still earn some money.

This is not the right way even you want to do something to oppose PAP. In the end, you just end up paying more to them. -
what i've been doing to save on fares is to board buses only at the first stop o/s int which isn't that far & doesn't take a lot of effort IMO cause it just happens that I can incur a lower distance and pay one tier lesser (saving ard 5 - 10cts per trip).
find it not worthwhile to pay for the 0.7km for Sv133 from AMK int to Blk 324 as the marginal utility i get doesnt justify the extra cost incurred. same for Sv31 from TPY int to first stop. not forgetting to mention avoiding NEL/CCL if there are comparable alternatives / sufficient time for me to do so.
i guess DBTF has really changed the way i travel, from someone that prefers all-bus trips (within logicality) to finding shorter-distance trips now. it is hard not to be 'efficient commuters' under this framework though i believe older aunties / uncles and less-informed commuters are sticking to their old travel habits and paying more unknowingly.. -
There's a way.... and its legal...
If you are going somewhere for just a while and you need to go somewhere.... here's what you can do.
You need to take the bus within the next 45 minutes.
Example:
190 - Bukit Panjang Road >>> Orchard Road
700 - Orchard Road >>> Bukit Panjang Road
$1.94
Example:
190 - Bukit Panjang Road >>> Orchard Road
190 - Orchard Road >>> Bukit Panjang Road
$2.90
Save $0.96
Shopping at Orchard Road for 2 hours....
(make the next transfer within 45 minutes, within 2 hours time frame)
1230pm - 110pm (190's journey)
190 - Bukit Panjang Road >>> Orchard Road (CK Tang)
110pm - 145pm (Shop at CK Tang / Taka)
150pm - 155pm (Bus journey)
174 - Orchard Road (Heerens) >>> Orchard Road (PS)
200pm - 220pm (Shop at PS)
225pm - 310pm
700 - Orchard Road (PS) >>> Bukit Panjang Road
2 hours shopping - Total bus fare - Thru Fro $1.94. -

if inspector come, quickly alight if possible. if can.t, than lan lan bo pian pay $20.i still remember last year, i kena SMRT inspector board TIB 370P svc178 from Woodlands interchange. I pay $0.55 to the china SL coz i know china SL wont KB. KNN. 2stops later, 1 SMRT inspector came up to inspect & the china SL stand up from the driver seat and than look behind & pointed @ me while toking to the inspector. i immediately knew something wrong & quick stand up than press bell to alight. Lucky i manage to escape fast if not have to pay $20 liao.
