Benefit of getting ahead in transport (5)
I believe the answer is:
bonus
'benefit of' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'ahead in transport' is the wordplay.
'ahead' becomes 'on' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'transport' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of transport).
'on' inserted into 'bus' is 'BONUS'.
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bonus that I've seen before include "Extra dividend" , "Additional payment to encourage productivity" , "Something more than you expected" , "Good performance reward" , "Additional payment for work, often on merit" .)
