Will some commuters pay lower fares after CCL6 opens?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. With the opening of Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6), there will be new, shorter-distance routes for some existing rail journeys.

As rail fares are based on the shortest possible distance between the origin and destination stations, some commuters may enjoy lower fares if the new shorter-distance routes result in their total journey distance falling into a lower fare band.

Examples of such journeys include:

	Origin	Destination	Shortest Distance Path	Adult Fares
Current	After CCL6	Current	After CCL6
1	Harbourfront	Bayfront	1) Travel on North-East Line 2) Transfer at Chinatown station and continue to Downtown Line to Bayfront station	Directly on CCL	$1.59	$1.49
