LTA: Free Pre-Peak MRT Rides Extended For Another Year (Jun 2016)

LTA has announced in a press release that they will be extending the Free Pre-Peak Travel on MRT for another year to 30 June 2016.

That is certainly good news for commuters who take the effort to make changes to their daily routine — not only can they save money, it helps to reduce congestion and thus improving the ride satisfaction.

Commuters who exit before 7.45am at the 18 designated MRT stations* in the city area will not have fares deducted for their MRT rides.

Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Transport Mrs Josephine Teo said:

The proportion of commuters who have shifted their travel patterns due to the Free Pre-peak Travel scheme is significant and has stabilised after two years. The scheme is an important foundation on which we can build on for our other travel demand management efforts, which includes our Travel Smart Programme, Travel Smart Rewards and the new Off-Peak Pass^[2] that we are introducing in July this year. We hope that more people, who are able and willing to shift their travelling times, will benefit.

* The 18 designated stations are Bayfront, Bras Basah, Bugis, Chinatown, City Hall, Clarke Quay, Dhoby Ghaut, Downtown, Esplanade, Lavender, Marina Bay, Orchard, Outram Park, Promenade, Raffles Place, Somerset, Tanjong Pagar and Telok Ayer.

Scoot: Special Launch Fare to Osaka from $99 (21 – 24 May 2015)

Scoot has announced a new route and will launch flight services to Osaka from 8 Jul 2015.

To mark the launch, travelers can book their special launch fare from $99 for a one-way fare excluding taxes and surcharges.

That is incredibly cheap for bargain hunters with the return fare costing just $266.93 (inclusive of taxes and surcharges). A comparison with other budget airline would set you back at around $500 and up.

That’s a steal considering you are paying almost half the price of what it would usually cost to fly to Osaka, Japan.

We have also picked out some hotels from our hotels search engine that you can consider if you are heading to Dotonbori.

Hotel II Cuore Namba is one of the highest rated stay in Osaka and is pretty affordable with a Double Room costing just S$148/night. It is only 0.7km away from Dotonbori so it’s perfect for shopping.

If you want a more luxurious stay, Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka is a good choice.

If you are going in a group of guys and want to save on accommodation, you can consider the no-frills B&S Eco Cube at just S$63/night per person.

Well, don’t wait because good things don’t last and seats are getting snapped out on Scoot. I need to run the booking twice because the previous one was sold out. Just share this post and look for your travel partner.
