There will be free bus and train rides on National Day, SMRT and SBS Transit announced in a joint release on Monday (Apr 27).
Free travel will take effect on Aug 9 from the start of service to the end of operation, according to the release. Commuters taking trunk and feeder bus services, as well as SMRT's Night Rider and all SBS Transit's non basic services such as Parks, Chinatown Direct and Night Owl bus services, can board any bus free of charge without having to tap in or out with their fare cards.
For train services, fare gates will be opened on National Day to allow people to board the trains for free. Connections between rail lines will also be free, SMRT and SBS Transit added.
The transport operators said the move was to "encourage people to attend National Day celebrations island-wide".
