The minimum top-up amount for the respective Concession cards is listed below:

You can also apply for the Auto Top-up facility with your credit card on the SimplyGo app or with a DBS/POSB ATM card at any Top-up Kiosk. 

The Auto Top-up scheme allows commuters to automatically add value to their Concession cards when the remaining card value is insufficient for fare payments in transit (MRT/Buses) or at selected non-transit merchants.  

The pre-selected Auto Top-up amount will be deducted from the registered credit or ATM card.

• The Concession card must be carried as proof of eligibility when travelling on the MRT/LRT/bus in order to enjoy the travel concession. It must be shown to the bus driver, inspector or other authorised staff of SBS Transit, SMRT, LRT, Tower Transit, Go-Ahead Singapore and SimplyGo when requested.

• If you are a Concession card holder and intend to pay cash, please inform the bus driver. Then, tap your Concession card at the reader to verify the card’s validity, before depositing cash into the fare box.

• If you forgot to bring your Concession card or if your Concession card has expired, please pay the adult cash fare or use an alternative travel card.

• Concession cards are not transferable. Please only use your own Concession card.

• Please only tap your Concession card at the fare reader. Do not tap your wallet or any personal carriers as all stored value travel cards/contactless bank cards detected by the fare reader may be charged. Each card is to be used separately.

• Please tap your Concession card when you enter and exit the bus or train station, even if you have purchased a concession pass. Otherwise, you may encounter issues when you make a subsequent transfer during your journey.

• Legal proceedings may be taken if you misuse the card, allow any misuse of the card or breach any of the Terms & Condtions of the use of the Concession card. SBS Transit, SMRT, SLRT, Tower Transit, Go-Ahead Singapore and SimplyGo reserve the right to retain any card deemed necessary for investigation. The Concession card shall be retained if it has been tampered with, misused, replaced or refunded.

• New tertiary students who are still using the Secondary School Smart Cards for travel on buses and the MRT/LRT will have adult fares deducted from your cards. If you use the Secondary School Smart Card to pay concessionary fares, your concession card may be retained by the Bus Captain/Service Leader for investigation and verification.

• If your Concession card is retained, please call the SimplyGo Hotline at 1800-2255 663 to check the card status after five working days.
