Travel More, Save More With the SBS Season Pass

If you’re not blessed with a car, and commuting every morning is draining more of your money then you can afford, then say hello to the SBS transit Seasonal Pass. Remember those days when taking a bus meant flashing a card to the driver, instead of tapping your Ez-link card or looking for loose change to make up for the fare? Yes, life was much easier and cheaper then, and it’s about to make a come-back.
For a monthly fee of $98, holders of this concession pass can easily take buses from one point to the next without much hassle. It costs about $3.30 a day, and it allows for unlimited bus rides. Those who favour the MRT can always find alternative bus routes to take full advantage of this new installation by SBS Transit. You can easily transfer buses, without monetary worries. This is really a saviour for all those rainy or lazy days where one bus stop will make a world of difference for you. Particularly useful as well for those who live far from their workplaces, the Seasonal Pass will cap their transport expenses to $98 a month. However, the Pass is not applicable for rides on the Fast Forward and Express buses, or on the trains.
With unconditioned validity, the Season Pass can easily be purchased at all TransitLink Ticket Offices, selected NTUC FairPrice outlets, NTUC One-Stop Centre ( 1 Marina Boulevard ) and selected authorised agents. An application form has to filled first prior to the purchase. These forms can be retrieved at the above mentioned places, as well on the SBS website. The validity of the stamp, however, depends on the date of purchase, with it taking effect for a month from the date. With every new application, there is the option of the bulk purchase of 3 stamps for $240. NTUC members will get further rebates of $10 for a first-time application.

Changi Airport Budget Terminal – Travelling On A Budget

The addition of Changi Airport’s budget terminal creates juxtaposition to the already-established brand name. It is not as chichi as the two major terminals, not with as much options as them, and definitely, you will feel the inferiority. Not that we can complain much, since the definitive lifestyle here is budget. Sure, it’s not as cool or as Versace as most travellers would like it to be, but it’s fuss-free and spared of the frills of other major airports.
Servicing mainly SIA’s premiere budget airline, Tiger Airways, the third instalment of Singapore’s welcoming ambassador, your budget is not restricted to just your flight. Firstly, food options are greatly limited. From Genki Sushi, O'Briens, Killiney Kopitiam to Polar Puffs and Cakes, all well-established outlets in the mainland, there does not seem to be that option to relish in the luxurious notion of travel alone. Secondly, the atmosphere lacks the expected hustle and bustle of the world’s famous airport, particularly at the departure lounge. A lot of the activities seemed to be highly constrained to the Arrival hall.  Plastic chairs and oddly rainbow-painted walls add on to the meagre and almost bare offerings of this last memory you will have of Singapore.
However, credits have to be given to its transport and communication. A considerable amount of baggage space is given to travellers on the bus service from Terminal 2.  On top of that, the cost-saving ends with the great number of internet kiosks available for the travellers.  You may be on a budget while on the go, but at least, you can still remain connected. 
In spite of all the seemingly-lacking features that make the budget terminal pale in comparison to its predecessors, chances are many will not mind. Singapore has already established her metropolitan and chic appeal to her citizens and travellers, that, perhaps, the changes will not really add up much to the general memories they have in Singapore.
