Commuters who are willing to get up earlier and travel to the city area before 7:45am will get free train rides from 24th June.
Those who alight from trains between 7:45am and 8:00am in the morning will get a 50 cents discount on their fares. The incentives are part of the Government's year-long trial to persuade train users to travel earlier and spread out the peak hour crush.
The trial was announced by Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew on Tuesday morning at Raffles Place station. The free travel trial will be implemented in 16 stations where commuters alight, including City Hall, Raffles Place and Clarke Quay.
The Government will pick up the tab for the trial which is expected to cost $10 million.
