It’s just the ticket for Singapore visitors

Sunday, 13 Dec, 2007 0

SINGAPORE – The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) have launched the Singapore Tourist Pass (STP) and a public transport guide for tourists (the “Travel with Ease” guide) – two new initiatives aimed at enhancing the visitors’ experience when commuting on Singapore’s public transport system.

The Singapore Tourist Pass, produced by EZ-Link in collaboration with LTA and STB, is the only pass in Singapore that offers tourists unlimited rides on Singapore’s public transport system with the option of a 1-Day, 2-Day or 3-Day pass for just S$8 per day.

STPs bought or issued in Singapore at authorised sales counters come with a refundable rental deposit of S$10 if the card is returned within five days of issuance.

The card can be purchased or returned at designated Transitlink ticket offices located at selected MRT stations. By the first half of 2008, the card can also be purchased or returned at the Singapore Visitor Centres located at Orchard Road and Changi Airport.

The STP can also function like a normal ez-link card so tourists can top up the value of the card and make payments at selected retail outlets. In addition, tourists can use the STP to enjoy a variety of special offers and discounts at selected merchants.

Complementing the STP is the “Travel with Ease – Public Transport Guide for tourists”. It shows tourists how to explore Singapore using the public transport system and includes useful information on the various modes of public transport and gives travel directions to various places of interest.

Available in English, Simplified Chinese and Bahasa Melayu, the guide can be picked up at selected Singapore Visitor Centres and MRT stations.
