The Child Concession Card is a stored value travel card that enables children to travel for free on public transport, except on Premium Bus Services and NightRider services.
A child is eligible to apply for a Child Concession Card if he/she is 0.9m and above in height, below seven years old and not studying in a primary school.
All children who are below 0.9m tall and accompanied by a fare-paying commuter can automatically travel for free.
Please apply for the Child Concession Card at any SimplyGo Ticket Office.
The card will be encoded with the child's name, birth certificate/passport number, date of birth and card expiry date.
Each eligible child is entitled to one Child Concession Card.
The new Child Concession Card can be used immediately and no activation is required.

The Child Concession Card is valid for use till 30 April of the year the child turns seven years old, regardless of the child’s birth month. This is for consistency as children transition to the Primary level concession.
If your child is not attending a primary school that year, please call the SimplyGo Hotline at 1800-2255 663 for assistance at least three months before the concession expiry date. Your child will be issued a Non-MOE School Smart Card (Primary level), if eligible.
You may check the Concession card expiry date at any SimplyGo Ticket Office, SimplyGo Kiosk or Assisted Service Kiosk.
Once your child receives his/her new Primary School Smart Card from his/her school or the Non-MOE School Smart Card, or if the Child Concession Card is no longer needed, you can return the card at any SimplyGo Ticket Office.
To get a refund of any remaining travel value in the concession card, please produce the cardholder’s proof of identity (original or photocopy):
Expired Concession cards cannot be refunded immediately. Our Customer Service Officer will issue you a receipt, and you can collect your refund after five working days at any SimplyGo Ticket Office.
You will have to pay a $13 administrative fee if you wish to re-apply for the Child Concession card in the future.
