    Sorry OT for a bit... Once I waited (very patiently) for close to 2 hours for a friend at an MRT (inside). In the end, prior to getting out I had to pay an additional $2. If I weren't so determined to wait on, thinking my friend would arrive any moment, I would have tapped out and went window-shopping first. Haha!
    Yep, got in to a similar situation before, sitting from woodlands to tampines and back (before CC line opened) needed to pay $3 to get out as they said i overstayed(sp?) my journey, i was a young and innocent student then =(

    Interestingly, after that 1-time experience, we no longer repeat that. Haha!
    If you had spare change then, it would solve matters immediately. Imagine if one had no money on him, and his EZ-link card is insufficient to pay.

    What happens then? Will SMRT press the matter "by the book"?

    On the other hand, have any seller meet buyer who don;t like to exit their gantry-side to deal?

    Oh.. hmm.. I don't know, but I doubt they would let the matter rest. Anyone has experience?

    Actually I think most people (including me) would choose not to exit. But recently have been exiting for piece of mind.
    Anyone has his/her views on this?

    Question Re: Pay for goods over MRT fare gate and get fined $2,000

    If they refuse to let someone out when he is required to pay this "surcharge", if the chap has no money on him, and/or unable to contact anyone outside the gantry, no passengers around for him to borrow phone, then is SMRT going to detain the chap until end of days?

    Maybe one solution is take the EZ-Link card and deduct. If amount not enough, the card will show 'owe'. And when you top up $10 in future, the surcharge will be deducted then. But this is just an assumption.

    Thinking of this, running the station will have limited time to do all this "Bo Liao" things.

    We can ask some of the bro here, he may know.

    Shouldn't staff manning a station be focused more with their main scope then trival matters?
    Actually there is a deposit inside the card which normally we seldom take note of... plus the fact that if you try take MRT with your card value of $1.50 (i think) , the gantry actually will ask you to top-up.

    Still remember during my poly days. Used to sell sdrams at MRT gates. But again in 1996, SG is not so crowded yet.

    But it is not always that one will be meeting the other party waiting at the MRT gate.

    To avoid creating a problem, it is best for buyers/sellers to make an appointment to meet at a convenient spot outside the MRT station fare gates.
