Off-Peak Pass for public transport available for purchase

Commuters can get their hands on an Off-Peak Pass from 28^th of June, reported The Straits Times. For $80 a month, commuters with an adult monthly travel card can get unlimited travel on buses and trains during off-peak hours on weekdays, and throughout the day on weekends and public holidays. Those with senior citizen concession cards and persons with disabilities concession cards can get the pass for $40.

Off-peak hours on the weekdays are any period outside of the morning peak period from 6.30am to 9.00am and the evening rush hours of 5.00pm to 7.30pm.

The pass can be purchased at all TransitLink ticket offices, concession card replacement offices and passenger service centres. It can also be bought from add value machines and general ticketing machines. The pass will cover all journeys that start during the off-peak period. Subsequent transfer trips, including those that fall within the peak period, will be covered. Fares for journeys that start during the peak period however will be deducted from the stored value of the commuters' concession cards.

Commuters need to have one of the three concession cards - adult monthly travel card, senior citizen concession card or persons with disabilities concession card - to buy the pass. Those applying for an adult monthly travel card can also choose to buy one with the Off-Peak Pass already pre-encoded from 1^st of June.
