A Re Yeng fares

Point System

A Re Yeng works on a point system, where the cost of a trip is a value that is based on a number of points.

You need a Connector card in order to use the system. The card costs R25, and upon purchasing the card you can choose to register your details or remain anonymous.

Amount	Loaded value	Cost per point
R9.50	8.00	R1.19
R11.50	10.00	R1.15
R13.50	12.00	R1.13
R31.50	30.00	R1.05
R60.00	60.00	R1.00
R80.00	96.00	R0.83
R100.00	120.00	R0.83
R150.00	180.00	R0.83
R200.00	240.00	R0.83
R350.00	440.00	R0.80

Because the pricing structure works on points, it is easier for A Re Yeng to offer discounts to commuters who spend more at once on topping up points.

The more you load on the card, the more you save! Please note that you top up using cash only.

Cost of trips

The cost of trips is based on the straight line distance traveled, and each distance group incurs a number of points. Please refer to the table below:

Distance	Points Charged
0 - 3km	8 points
3 - 8km	10 points
8 - 14km	12 points
