a journey should not require you to enter and exit the rail system more than once.
that is based on the assumption that the train network will bring you to wherever you need to go, by transferring to connecting buses.

currently if you enter and exit the rail network you'll also reset your transfer rebate eligibility.

and what does transfer means? if i take bus 969 to woodlands interchange then take another bus there also counted as a TRANSFER ?
currently you are not allowed more than 3 transfers within 2 hours, or it'll be counted as a new journey and reset your transfer rebate eligibility.

actually, do you understand how does the current system of transfer rebates work?

if the new scheme is too confusing to you, just travel by the way you are doing now.
the scheme does not encourage you to choose one transport mode over another, but allows you to make 2 more transfers without incurring a penalty, but charging based on aggregate distance travelled, not the number of trips taken and distance for each of these trips.

I refer to this line:
Transfer penalties, which have been reduced gradually over the last two years, will be completely gone from July 3.
Then I refer to the last paragraph:
Typically, bus commuters who choose to or have to make train transfers will see higher expenses. One of the reasons for this is that train rides generally cost more than bus rides.
So.... uh.... if I go from Marine Parade to Paya Lebar MRT, take the MRT to Clementi, then switch to another bus to NUS..... do I pay more or less than what I'm paying now?
Example: Marine Parade Rd (Blk 57) to Kent Ridge Cres (Computer Ctr)
current by MRT: $0.91+$0.96+$0.19=$2.06
new by MRT: (approx. 25.8km) $1.79
current by bus 31+10+95 (transfer at Northlight Sch): $0.91+$0.91+$0.19=$2.01
current by bus 43/76/135+10+95 (transfer at Tg Katong Rd): $0.91+$1.00+$0.19=$2.10
new by bus 31/43/76/135+10+95: (approx 23.1km) $1.73
new by bus 31/43/76/135+30+10/200+95: (approx 23.7km) $1.75

no there will be no penalty incurred and your fare will not deviate too much from current (5¢ less to 10¢ more?).

then if like that, how will the 'pay by distance' help in any way ? i thought it will lessen our fares or something? -

Current SBF: $0.69+$1.02 = $1.71
New DBTF (transfer at Northpoint bus stop):
Blk 257, Blk 309, Opp Blk 201: $1.64
Opp Yishun Pri Sch, Blk 291: $1.67
Stops further away from Int than Opp Yishun Pri Sch: $1.70* Fares may +/-3 cents as mileage for fare calculation won't be know until later this month or next month, so the bus stops listed might fall into another fare band.

Based on new data, it suggests Opp Blk 121 falls under $1.67 fare band, and boarding from bus stop Chong Pang CC onwards or further from Interchange will cost you $1.70.
