How to Save 14% When Fares Rise 7%

How to Save 14% When Fares Rise 7% — with SuperME

Singapore's public transport fares will rise by 7% from 26 December 2026. Adult card fares will increase by 12–13 cents per journey.

Most people will ask: "Why are fares going up again?"

A SuperME asks a different question:

"What can I do so that I actually spend less?"

That is the difference between reacting to change and unleashing yourself through change.

Don't Accept +7%. Turn It into −14%.

Suppose you currently spend $100 a month on transport. A 7% increase could turn that into $107.

But instead of accepting $107, set yourself a SuperME Challenge:

Reduce your original $100 spending by 14% to $86.

That means finding $21 of smarter choices compared with simply continuing your old travelling habits after the fare increase.

How?

Walk instead of taking a bus for short journeys.
Combine appointments so that you make fewer trips.
Use Singapore's distance-fare transfer rules intelligently.
Travel before the morning peak when practical—commuters tapping into rail before 7.45am on weekdays can receive up to a 50-cent discount, while qualifying NEL/Sengkang-Punggol LRT journeys at specified off-peak times can even be free.
Heavy users should also compare their expenditure with monthly passes, whose prices are not increasing in the 2026 fare review.
Cycle

But SuperME Unleashed is not really about saving $21.

It is about Purpose, Love and Gratitude.

Purpose

Don't walk merely to save money.

Walk because you want better health. Combine trips because you value your time. Plan your journeys because you want to take responsibility for your resources.

Suddenly, a fare increase becomes an opportunity to redesign your habits.

Love

Think beyond yourself.

Walk with your spouse. Share a journey with a friend. Help an elderly person understand concessions or passes that could reduce their expenses.

SuperME becomes SuperWE when our solution also helps someone else.

Gratitude

Instead of spending every journey complaining about the extra cents, appreciate what is already available—a highly connected transport network, your ability to walk, and even the extra time that walking gives you to think, exercise or talk to someone you love.

Gratitude doesn't make the fare increase disappear.

It changes what you do with it.

This Is SuperME

SuperME does not mean that problems disappear.

SuperME means problems don't decide who you become.

Fares rise 7%? Challenge yourself to save 14%.

Costs rise? Create more value.

Life changes? Change yourself before circumstances force you to.

That is SuperME Unleashed:

Purpose gives you direction.
Love gives your actions meaning.
Gratitude turns what you already have into wealth.

Don't just survive the 7%.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
