Unlikely you can travel around various MRT stations for a few hours and just pay $1. Beware that there is a ‘time limit’ mechanism per entry, it is around 90 mins. You can’t exit the station unless you top up the difference if your journey is longer than the time limit.

the train ticketing system will also calculate the time you check in and the time you check out. And calculate the fare according to the time you are in the train or station. If you stay longer than usual, you can be fined, actually.

What you described in infinitely frugal, but doesn’t really work. There is a time limit within which you have to finish a specific train journey.

Enter and exit from the same station: 20 mins
Exit 1 to 4 stations away: 40 mins
Exit 5 to 9 Stations away: 60 mins
Exit 10 to 15 stations away: 75 mins
Exit 16 to 24 stations away: 100 mins
Exit over 24 stations away: 120 mins

The penalty for not doing so is $2.00

I am surprised you didn’t know this considering I did, and I have not been here even a year.
