Came across an article through the CNA RSS feed on an new initiative by SMRT.

SINGAPORE: A new SMRT initiative to get city-bound travellers to board the trains before the morning rush hours was off to a slow start on Monday, despite the transport operator handing out flyers a week before to inform commuters at nine MRT stations of the new promotion.
The nine MRT stations are Orchard, Somerset, Dhoby Ghaut, City Hall and Raffles Place on the North-South Line, and Lavender, Bugis, Tanjong Pagar and Outram Park on the East-West Line.
From Monday until October 31, commuters who exit any of the nine MRT stations before 7.30am will enjoy discounted breakfasts and a 10-cent discount on their fares.
Yah… Reach your station before 7.30am and you get to get 10C off your fare!! Thats lame.. How much can you save per mth? it’s less then $3.00!! By reaching early you may have to have break fast near your work place instead of having it at home or at the kopitiam which means added costs. Kinda defeats the purpose of saving that 10cents in the first place.
