Abel.sg — One Site, Two Needs Met
Abel pulls two pain-points into a single website: (1) legit discounts for persons with disabilities (PWD) and their circles, and (2) short, station-specific video guides you can open right off an interactive MRT map. No fluff, no endless menus.
How Abel Fits Into Your Day
- Pick a station on the embedded MRT map → watch a 60-second clip that shows barrier-free exits, lift locations and the exact point where wheelchair ramps align with train doors.
- Scroll down to see a list of nearby merchants offering PWD concessions or companion discounts — all verified, no expired coupons.
- Tap Save. The deal drops into Wallet (Apple/Google), so you can flash it without an extra app.
- Optional: share the link; friends and family get the same price when they travel with you.
Who Gets the Discounts?
- Any Singapore resident holding a valid PWD Concession Card (or equivalent ID from recognised SSAs).
- Up to two accompanying carers or family members per PWD, provided they travel together. The fare rule mirrors LTA's companion policy.
Deal Categories on Launch
- Transport Boost: extra 10% off taxi-hail rates off-peak
- Food & Drink: S$1-off per main at 80+ F&B outlets
- Leisure & Attractions: 1-for-1 carer tickets (zoo, museum)
- Gear Rebate: 5% back on mobility-aid accessories
What the Video Guides Cover
Each clip is shot in first-person view and sticks to three things:
- Step-free path from street to platform
- Lift and wider fare-gate locations
- Nearest accessible toilets in the paid area
That's it. No hotel-lobby narration, no music you can't mute.

Bottom Line
Abel isn't trying to be another super-app. It does two jobs that matter — fairer prices and clearer station intel — and keeps the UI thin enough to load on shaky public-Wi-Fi. If you hold a PWD card or travel with someone who does, bookmark the site and move on. It's that straightforward.
