SINGAPORE - An incentive scheme that offers cash rewards to commuters who switch from the North East Line to express bus services during the morning peak hours will resume on Monday after an eight-month hiatus.

The expanded scheme will benefit residents in Punggol, Sengkang, Buangkok and Hougang who commute to workplaces in eastern and central parts of Singapore, the Land Transport Authority said in a statement on Friday. LTA said commuters must register using the TransitLink SimplyGo web portal or the TL SimplyGo application to be eligible for the Travel Smart Journeys scheme.

This was after it had reviewed the incentive scheme and took into account travel patterns in the last two years. The Straits Times has asked the LTA for more details about this. While rail and bus trips to areas such as Woodlands and Tuas are already back to pre-pandemic levels, journeys to the downtown core during morning peak hours are at about 70 per cent of 2019 levels.
